Windows Live account is fine, was already listed on the packaging. Do not bother me further.
The keyboard control I had on GrandPrix4-like change so I can go as usual. That also went smoothly. Similarly, the graphics settings.
In test sessions I've tried some routes. Some can be go excellently, so Spa, Melbourne or Monza. Whether Lotus or Ferrari, the driven times are very close to reality. In Bahrain and Singapore I take the Lotus but grundstätzlich about 15 seconds slower lap times than my Lotus teammate. And I can still so move the car to the limit and do not make mistakes. Likewise, the Lotus of Trulli always goes two seconds faster times when I was in Melbourne. Here I caught him in my fast lap at him and the same happened at the finish line in the next.
How can this come about because unrealistic time then? About the non-existent AI was reported here by some users. These comments are unfortunately absolutely justified.
What about the pit stop strategy?
I run a 10 lap race in Bahrain. It comes to a collision at the start where I damage the front wing. Ride Finally in the box and change not only the wing but also from soft to hard tires. Wonderful, I thought. Now I have done my duty pit stop and may the 8 laps on the hard tires over. But no! The computer calls me about in the 8 round to the pits for my pit stop to do. This cancel was impossible. on the box I got again the soft tires mounted.
From flexible pit stops can be no question.
As schat from the engine sound?
It was reported that each car are respectively each team with its own sounds. Either I hear bad or in reality, all the cars are absolutely identical to hear ...
Let's go back to the pits:
I'd like to go in the box in a simple race back. Out of the blue a McLaren thunders behind purely in my Lotus. Although he immediately upstream with 100% certainty beyond a half lap was behind me. Here, the McLaren passes over not only my Lotus (without damage) but I will be punished due to a collision.
Speaking of penalties. If I'd like to go a little more on the limit it seems to me, that I have to move the car over the curbs. Here I often collect a penalty and get the round annulled. However, in real life the Piloren operating exclusively that. Something is wrong there.
What shall I say more to the game? Except great graphics and details the game is a total letdown. I hope Codemasters turns back from the generated time of the CPU driver and a functioning AI installs. So the game looks unfinished. And I wonder what the oh so great computer magazines and the beta testers have been tested since. "Allude" After 10 minutes you will encounter the obvious errors so far may appear in a game!
to other criticisms I want to do without. But so few have been mentioned here!
Conclusion: The game is clearly not recommended. Perhaps some patches can fix certain errors, but given the huge shortcomings I'm not so confident!
