First of all, thank you for the release of, and the works done on this pack, I (and I'm sure many others too) highly appreciate people still having some care for mods of exact seasons.
So far the cars overall feel pretty nice to drive around, will do more laps with them later on. Great to finally see a 2010 mod get better with time. McLaren in actual chrome on this model is also nice to see.
I find the pace of the cars okay for the season, they are not incredibly overpowered with their engines like other mods from certain places. AI also doesn't behave more weirdly than usual (or I just didn't take them onto a track where they could do it yet🙃).
I am planning to have some race hosted at some point with 2010 cars whichever version it will be with, but that needs the testing time mentioned above.
A few observations I would still like to ask about/share after the first outings with them:
The fuel tank being way smaller than the cars would require to complete race distances with (as of F1 banning refueling on races from the 2010 season onwards), and fuel usage also seems to be too high as well:
For instance, I got a fuel usage of ~5.3L/Lap on Monza, which would last the car for 24 laps out of the 53 of race distance on the 130L tank currently in the cars' data. The same fuel usage would result in roughly 280L over said 53 laps, which is also
very high.
The figures on Hungaroring got to be ~4.4L/Lap or so, and would only last 29 laps out of the 70.
Most sources seem to have informed about the cars having a fuel tank capacity of around 220L, most likely at least 210L. I do think I would need to dig further down later to somehow find what was
exactly the tank size, but realistically it is definetely above 180L.
2 other things I noticed so far are brakes being, something (the car locks the rears first, just about does still even on the maximum 68% front bias, which given that the fronts are thinner as well, doesn't seem to be any realistic).
And a slight lack of adjustability on the lower end of torque outputs of the "Steer Assist" option (matters more for any wheel having gears in their FFB system, e.g. almost all Logitech wheels).
