F1 2010 pc mods ps3#
The review went up after I’d played the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions only and with a substantial disclaimer to that effect.Īt the point that review went up I’d played it on gamepad and with the steering wheel, on all the tracks and difficulty settings, and completed a season at 20% race distance. I wanted to review the game after playing all three versions but it became clear last week that wasn’t going to be possible before the release of the game and the start of the race weekend. The earliest reviews seemed to be very thin on detail and it seemed to me they hadn’t played the game much. Obviously this is not a games reviewing website but I have been keeping an eye on what the major sites have been doing in terms of reviewing the game. The videos and screenshots below were created using a Geforce GTX 480 supplied by NVidia:
F1 2010 pc mods drivers#
Improvements to the rival cars’ behaviour in the pits are expected – including fixing one bug where rival drivers fail to pit and another where the player’s car is held in the pits too long.Ĭodemasters added the time spent working on patching “F1 2010” will not affect the time spent developing next year’s version of the game.
The team say they have a “list of corners” where the rival cars are too slow.
These are likely to include changes to the racing lines, such as the problem with turn 19 at Valencia which was noted in the review.
F1 2010 pc mods update#
Interestingly, Codemasters referred to the forthcoming update as the “first” patch, suggesting there are more in the pipeline.Īmong the changes in the first patch are various modifications to the artificial intelligence of rival cars. As that creates the impression of accelerating time up to 30-fold, the complexities involved in having the cars lapping at over 6,000mph were too great to overcome. They say this is because of the desire to have a “fast forward” button allowing you to skip through the session quickly. However Codemasters confirmed that during the practice and qualifying sessions the other cars aren’t on the track when you can’t see them. I can’t help but think that many PC players with graphical performance in their systems to spare will be disappointed that compromise was made. They say the other cars are there, and the reason you cannot view them in replay mode is because cars out of your field of vision are being rendered at a much lower level of quality to allow the cars and the part of the track you can see to be shown at the highest possible quality level. Discrepancies in lap times seem to support this view.Ĭodemasters say the AI is not ‘faked’ during races. Some “F1 2010” players have voiced concerns that, because rival cars away from the player cannot be viewed in replay mode, they aren’t actually there, and the player is in fact racing phantom cars.

F1 2010 pc mods windows#
If you’re playing the PC version, look me up on Games for Windows Live using the user name ‘keithcollantine’. You can customise controls to your heart’s content and fine-tune a steering wheel and pedals if you have one.īeyond that, the PC version plays as well as the console versions and gets the same score. This being a PC version you can play it on the keyboard if you really want to, though it’s even more frustrating than using a gamepad. However this also causes some graphical glitches so it’s best to be patient and wait for the official patch. This will mean players of the PC version will eventually be able to enjoy a better-looking version of the game.Īlready some enthusiastic PC game-players have enabled some DirectX modes by hacking their copies of the game.
However Codemaster say the advanced capabilities of DirectX 11 graphics cards will be exploited in future patches – though not the first one. The PC version of “F1 2010” is pretty much a straight port of the console version of the game.Īt present the game only supports older generation DirectX 9 graphics cards which mimic the capabilities of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
