F1 2001 info - very interesting

Hi all,

Dunno if anyone else is getting this but with the FF strength on 80% I'm
getting 30 fps at race starts and 40-50 fps for the rest of the race, which
is fantastic.  However, put the force-feedback strength up to 90% and
suddenly the frame rate halves!  The game becomes very jerky when there's
other cars about.

That's not a problem for me because the FF feels right on 80%, but it might
help anyone having frame rate problems.

My system is-
P4 1.7
GF2 PRO - 21.83 nvidia drivers
256 MB PC 133 ram
WinME
Guillemot Ferrari FF wheel

Simon.

p.s. what a fantastic game

Yep my frame rate drops the more I up the FF. Act Labs FF wheel. I still get
40-50 fps though so it's not too bad.

Makes absolutely no difference at all with me - all strengths have the same
