I don't claim to be an expert, but if anybody needs help with their .plr
file, ask me and maybe I've got the answer.

I've got most of it sorted (high physics, high tire physics, etc), but
are these worth enabling?

Engine Emitter Flow="0" // Whether engine smoke/flames flow over
emitting vehicle
Tire Emitter Flow="0" // Whether tire smoke/dust flow over emitting
vehicle
Smoke Flow="0" // Whether all smoke/flames/dust flow over non-emitting
vehicles
Raindrop Flow="0" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over
other vehicles
Rainspray Flow="0" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over
other vehicles
Spark Flow="0" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over other
vehicles

Is there a way to enable non-synchronous qualifying, for whenever the
Emac 2003 season is released?  You can set it to 2 laps now which
basically gives an out and a timed lap, but you still have all the
cars out at the same time.  BTW, I love the blue flags on the out laps
now and that the AI actually responds by letting you by or going
around you depending on the situation.

Finally, what the *** is this?

Fidelity Unilateral Neutralizer="0"

FUN=0?!?  I want to have FUN right?

Hi Jason,

Ah-hahahaha...I wondered abt. Fidelity Unilateral Neutralizer="0" too.  I
assumed it was like that gibberish that flashes by when The Sims is loading
("Reticulating Spline Intifada" or whatever).  Forgot to ask.  (Now I'm too
embarrassed to.)

No idea abt. all those "Flow" params, either.

The important ones (which should be set thus if you've got enuf CPU power)
are:

Half Rate="0" // 0 = super-high physics rate
Tire Sampling="1" // 1 = extra HAT samples (no matter what they say abt. a
"slight improvement" this makes a palpable diff).

And this one:

Mimic Steering="0" // Mimic AI or pitlane assistance with force feedback (if
this is "1" the wheel jerks around in yer hand when yer viewing from
somebody else's***pit - really annoying)

--Steve

Awesome, Steve, thanks!  That drove me bonkers in F1-2002.

Potty-mouth Jason!

I think it's a mutual fund.   ;o)

This just in!  A little bird tells me that "Fidelity Unilateral Neutralizer"
actually unlocks some Easter eggs.  ISI doesn't seem to be talking to me any
more (I think I slagged them off once too often), so they prolly won't tell
me, but try the number "711" and see what happens.

Awesome!  So many people were asking for the ability to do this and here it
is - in an easter egg!

Do what?  I don't have the game yet so I can't try it.

Not seeing anything.

Does it matter that I have the HUD/messages disabled?

Ahh, gotcha. =)

It's more obvious if you hand-edit the number of opponents in your PLR

I had the opponent size set to 87.  Full 4 years of F1. =)
