F1 2000 manual?

by Kraku » Sat, 25 Mar 2000 04:00:00

For those that just bought it, what's the manual like for F1 2000? Does it
do a good job of explaining car setups? Does it have good track notes, etc.?

Actually, while I'm at it, might as well ask a couple more quick questions
(I haven't found the answers to these yet)...

- Can you save a race in progress?
- Does it have any telemetry tools?
- How "reliable" is the Internet multiplayer?

Thanks!

So far I am slightly disappointed.

Bought the game this morning. The manual is ok but is what I expect to get
with a more arcadey type game as opposed to the more substantial manuals
with sims.

The track notes are very basic, no detailed description of corners or
anything like that just 'The track consists of a mixture of long straights
puntuated with a selection of medium to fast corners and chicanes' (Monza)
type entries with a very small track map.

There are 9 pages devoted to setups, 5 of those are almost the same as the
tables we had in GP2 (although not as detailed), eg:

WINGS
Action                   Effect on Balance                       Other
Effects
Increase Front       Increased oversteer in corners    Increased grip in
corners

There is also a couple of pages on racing lines through corners, again very
much like the GP2 manual but again not as detailed.

Haven't found any option to save a race in progress.
No telemetry tools.
Haven't tried multiplayer.
