F1 2002 Interesting Observation

I haven't seen a post on this yet but I was playing F12002 today and
watching a replay from outside the car.  I thought something looked a little
different, and noticed that there is no more helmet movement.  I was at
Silverstone at the time.  I'm sure that F12001 had head movement during
turns and going over bumps.  The sim resembles our beloved GPL in this
regard.  Was there too much time spent on updating the scenery textures and
car shapes, and this was forgotten with the attention on getting it released
on time?  Or am I just clueless, and all of this has already been talked
about (haven't seen it mentioned)?

There seems to be head movement in my install of F1-2002. Check out the
3 seater Arrows in the driving school, 3 little heads moving at once.
Perhaps seeing movement depends on the car detail setting?

I read that some people have lost head movement after installing new car
sets.

Maybe he's in the demo - my demo had no external view head movement, but the
full game does.

Hey Wayne,
I noticed the same thing last night.  I then changed some settings in the
graphics options.  I think "special effects" must control it since mine was
set to medium and changing it to "high" got the head movement back again.
