Yeah my bad. I meant to post about it yesterday but got caught up with work.

i tried it out last night and am really happy to say!! ITS FIXED!!! well done Codies!! the fuel sim is more realistic, the tyres are better, everything is just right!! now Codies, get on with F1 2011!!

Will start career agian 5th time lol saturday morning

ouch!! 5th time lol! i just started my second season!

I'm really pleased they have fixed it.
I'm gonna try it a little later but I hope it means that it'll bring the numbers up for our championship next year.

Same here Duncan i'll be restarting my 8th time. I hope they've balanced the difference between pro and legend.

OMG WTF have they done!!!

Restarted career, deleted old lotus one. This time punted for the HRT for a real challenge!!

Practice 1 1st
Practice 2 1st
Practice 3 1st
Qualifying 1st
Race 1st

This game is a joke!!

p.s thats with all assists off, expert level with AI on legend. Cockpit view with M$ Wheel.

Yep, i tried the game earlier and i can tell NO difference what so ever, they said they would change the way you get held in the pits so i try pitting for the first time againin career, i was fighting for the lead i get held in the pits for 10 seconds i exit the pits and i'm 12th...

Not impressed!!!

well i dunno but im only on rookie/easy and its fine! must be too hard for you guys then lol

What length are you running at Nick coz its still happening on anything below 30% apparently.

I think the pit stops are slightly better but other than that i cant tell any difference.

The word rushed springs to mind

unfinished

I can think of better words

hmmm

.....they have done a turn 10 lol

i personally think the A.I. got a tad bit easier after the patch/update. i went to restart my career, qualified 8th at Bahrain (professional A.I.), and finished on podium (3rd). and at Melbourne, i again qualified in 8th, when before the patch, i was mired (sp?) back around 14th or so with the same settings as before

Not quite, at least CM have made an effort to listen to the issues and communicate about it and then make some chages for the better of the game. T10 have done nothing much at all, certainly not listened to the community.

They haven't got easier as such, it's just that now they are affected by fuel where they weren't before, so they will be running the same as you with high fuel loads at the beginning of the race. As a result the cars will be slower where before they had the same pace across the whole race. I've noticed the change, I couldn't get anywhere above 22nd or 23rd on Legend before the patch so I switched to Pro, and then I was getting into the top 8 which was completely unrealistic in the Lotus, so I've restarted again, for the 8th time, and set it at Legend, and in practice I got 19th place without even trying. And the reason is that the cars are much more evenly handicapped now whereas before they wewre running without fuel simulation.

no they aren't!! theyve made it easier or how did I restart my career in and choose the HRT, then proceeded to get first in P1, P2, P3, Q and the race over a full race distance weekend on legend in car with no assists.

Because magic you are simply far to good at the game and us common folk can't drive as well as you
