F1 Challenge 99-02 problem

by Mikko ?mm?l » Wed, 27 Apr 2005 21:47:59

Hello!

During practices/quals/warmup, if I start telemetry sub-software and after
returning to the game, the interface won't allow me to change anything
(setups etc). Mouse-clicking just does not work at all and only thing I can
do is to quit or advance to the next session (where again nothing works in
set-upping). The problem stops if start completely start the game again.

Why is that? Anyone coping with similar problems? Any solution? Had no
problems with earlier F12002.

   If you have a mouse with a spinner wheel for scrolling, try clicking on
that while in the menu screens.  I sometimes get a similar thing where the
mouse pointer moves around but doesn't highlight the icon it's on top of.  
A quick click of the mousewheel (mine acts like a button as wheel as a
wheel) usually brings the desired result and I can once again click on the
on-screen icons.

Unfortunately did not work. Problem related to mouse drivers perhaps?

   dang...  prior to F1c,  I used to have lots of problems with the
telemetry and graphic tearing.  I'd run some laps, go to the telemetry
screens, and then when I came back the screen would be flashing and some of
the textures would be missing or mis-shaped.  For those problems, I had to
completely exit the sim and restart, just as you do with the mouse
problems.
  Since I switched from Nvidia video cards, I have not had those graphic
issues.  The lost mouse focus is still there, (wireless USB mouse) but, as
I said, merely clicking on the wheel button brings it back.  
Thats all I have.  Anyone else?

Just a thought... have you tried Alt-Tab?  I know it --looks-- like the
game's in the foreground, but....

I have a similar problem everytime I first launch F1C.  The game's running
fullscreen and everything looks right, but I have to Alt-Tab to actually
interact with it using the mouse or keyboard.  Doubt it'll work, but it's
worth a shot!
