I thought I might give this game another try on my computer.
I had some grapical problems under Win98SE and Geforce 2MX
when I bought it last year.
Does anyone know if there is a patch available for this game
and where. Ubisoft does not seem to care much for the
further development.
Thanks
Chris
Don';t open that wound again ;)
Nope, they promised and promised it was coming out in a "few weeks", it
never happened unfortunately.
All the best,

Gee, I look at your email address and can't help but think you have some
sort of bias towards F1RC because it is done by a French company. F12001
makes F1RC look like an arcade game. No controller issues here either and it
has the best FFB of any racing sim on today's market. Ubisoft thinks FFB is
when you can feel the rumble strips and nothing else.
Face it, Ubisoft screwed the customer royally on this title and I won't be
bying F1RC2 because of it, no matter how good it might be.
F1-2001 had no problems recognising all the crazy controllers and axes I
threw at it. I found the controller setup to be intuitive and simple and I
was up and running in less than two minutes.

Look at the number of posts on the High Gear forums about F1 2001
controller problems - controller setup in F1 2001 IS SHITTY!
I'm ok now, thanks :)

Yes it's so simple. I've spend HOURS on messing with all the different
ff settings, and never got the results I wanted. I read that the Momo
wheel needed a negative force (discussions about the value are still
being discussed) but now someone recommends me to use a positive value
with the Momo.
Guess what, with both settings my ff is shitty, but I don't know if
that is because of the ve setting or because of 1 of all the other ff
settings.
I have allways said that the ff in GPL is VERY tricky to get right.
But GPL is three years old, ff was quite new at the time, and once
setup correctly GPL still offers one of the best ff.
An example: Tonight I installed N2002. The controller setup took me
LESS than a minute, and it worked PERFECT immediately, including the
fantastic ff.
It's cool that F1 2001 has so many options, but how come Papy games
work so good right out of the box and other games need 2000 settings
before it works right?
My former post sounded a little bit pissed, but I am, because after
all these discussions and all this experimenting, I still can't get
the ff right and I can't get rid of the deadzone. If I was the only
one who had this problem I wouldn't complain, but since 'many more'
people have these problems, I will not accept a statement that F1 2001
has a 'simple and efficient' controller setup :)

Forget trying to edit all the settings manually. Those aren't going to help
at all if it's a problem between the drivers you are using with your wheel,
and the game. Ian and I both had bad ff until we switched drivers and then
it was great. Can you install newer drivers for your wheel? Re-install them?
GPL never wanted to recognize my old T2 wheel which was a very popular wheel
when it was released. Papy sims have a good controller setup, but also have
their share of other problems in other areas.

Nope.. there is only one driver that works perfect with the Momo (the
latest version, the former beta versions still caused some problems
with the wheel) and I don't have any problems in any of my other sims.
Frankly I'm not willing to spend even more time on setting up my Momo
in F1 2001, I really spend more than enough hours on this.
I'll wait for the release of F1 2001 (in 3 months I believe) and pray
that the controller problems are gone.
Yes, I remember people had problems with the T2 and GPL at the time.
There are so many different controllers and systems out there, there
are allways some devices that cause problems with certain games. Even
windows has it's share of supporting some devices, even though they
test windows with so many different types of hardware.
It's the combination of different devices and drivers which causes the
most problems I believe.
Quite frankly F1 2001 is the only sim which I can't configure
correctly. GP3 took me a couple of hours to get it right, I even
needed a usermade util to get it working right, but at least I got it
working. This is frustrating :-/

Btw, any f1 2001 and momo owners reading this, what version of the
Momo drivers are you using?
