brakes and they were locked. I have braking assistance turned off. How do
you folks have your Y axis configured ?

The thing I find so different about F1 2001 is that, while
it is easy to just drive the car without pushing it, there
is a well-defined limit to the car's handling, and it is
a challenge to keep the car on the edge.

Do these cars really run as much as 50 degrees of wing
angle? Seems like all the other F1 sims limit movement
to 20 or 30 degrees.

Hey Pat, do you mind sending me your hotlap replay of your 1:24 (if you save
replays) so I can learn something ;-).
If you don't mind my e-mail address is:
joemarques(at)home(dot)com.
Thanks,

Well, since they use completely different sets for different circuits, a
number of "degrees" doesn't really tell the whole story at any rate. I
haven't thought about that before -- no sim has gone to the trouble of
letting you choose 1, 2 or 3 planes in the rear wing!

'Scuse me. Of course, the exclamation mark should have been a question
ditto! (I gave up on that series after the first one, and very quickly,
before really getting into the setup thingy. Gave me car sickness, and
never would install properly with newer DirectX versions!)

Hey, F1 World GP let you choose the number of elements in your rear wing,
and we all know what a killer sim that was. :-)
