F1RS - Replay function

by Kevin Harpi » Tue, 08 Sep 1998 04:00:00

How well does the REPLAY function work on your system?
I find that it jumps through time, and/or doesn't begin at the start.
And is also not available except in the race?!?!
I did a max install, then applied the v109 patch (3dfx variety).
Oh!  While I'm writing a post anyway, I'm an x-GP2 player,
and the one thing I miss is the clutch function.  Is there a clutch
in F1RS that I need to look harder for?
Otherwise, could somebody run through their start procedure?
Max rev's, etc.......
Thanks for your comments!

The replay is quite actually buggy and crappy. It's not really a good point
of this title.  Many times it will crash F1RS on my system.  Oh well, of
course I don't use it anymore, since I just have the way they implemented
the TV cameras. I mean, it's just soooooo unrealistic to have a camera pan
with you for 300meters.

There is no clutch for F1RS, witch shows how serious they are IMHO to make a
good racing simulation. I mean the starts are just unrealistic without this
option.

But then the whole thing is unrealistic........perhaps I need to give it
another chance but so far (after a couple of weekst) I still think GP2
is the more realistic sim and only one will beat it......GP3.

As most players don't have the hardware to use the clutch function, they
probably just didn't worry about it.

No, I won't start another religious war about F1RS/GP2... ;^)
(it never rains in Spain... oops!)
