It's been years since I've seen ras so united behind a modern F1 title as F1
2001. Not quite everyone, but almost everyone seems to agree that it is the
best modern F1 sim around! Amazing!

me 3 days to get it running sweet but now I have wow !!!

Maybe I'm the lone dissenter, but I wasn't very impressed with the graphics
I saw when it was demo'ed at the USGP last month. No, I didn't get a chance
to try it out but after buying F1 2000 then F1 2000 Championship Season the
game looked almost identical as far as graphics go. Are the changes in
gameplay really that striking? Is there anyone out there who can compare F1
2000 CS to F1 2001?

Rafe Mc, who hasn't even run it himself anyway :D
What is a shame is that 80% of the buyers aren't the type to scan
newsgroups, comb the internet and tweak their various .ini and .cfg files.
I can start to understand why the consoles are starting to win out, because
with a stable hardware platform to develop on, things either work or don't
work straight out of the box.
With F1CS, the automatic graphics config buried a low system rating value in
the .ini file. The textures were of course horrible. Manually bumping this
number up gave me a much better looking sim, at the loss of only 1 or 2 fps.
If someone didn't think to edit the file, they would wonder why the game
looks so poor. They would also falsely assume the game is a bad product and
would shelve it.
On the other hand, the very "tweakability" makes PC sims what they are. New
textures, edited tracks, new car models. Wheee!
Still waiting for the F1-2001 demo before I buy it for my marginal PC.

As it is now, I don't think it even comes close to the best modern F1
game category. (the game doesn't even have telemetry.......)
