F1RS problem: 145mph top speed!!!!

by Paul Godfre » Wed, 27 May 1998 04:00:00

Hi folks,

I finally got my hands on a copy of F1RS this week (it hasn't been easy
here in Eastern Canada - and yes I know I could have ordered it
instead).

Anyway, I'm just trying to get it set up and try it out, but so far on
the many tracks I've tried, the car won't go faster than 145mph with the
stock setups (which are the only ones I've tried so far). It accelerates
fine through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but when I shift into 4th it slows down
(ditto 5th and 6th) as if the power has been reduced significantly and
suddenly. A downshift back to 3rd speeds everthing back up quickly, but
I obviously need to go faster. I'm baffled.

Am I missing something obvious? please reply by e-mail if you have any
suggestions.

Thanks,
Paul

hi,
seems to be a wheel calibration problem(got to have it calibrated under
windows 95) or a bad pot problem
