I had some setups for F12K that either came with the game or were
downloaded by me awhile ago, and now they're not on the setup list.

In fact, the entire setup list is blank.

A look into the folders under Windows 95 indicates that they're still in
the "Settings" sub-folder under my name in the "Save" folder, but they
don't show up on the list in the game.

Anybody have any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks.

See if there's a new folder in your Save directory. I downloaded some
setup files from god-knows-where, and I got a "G03g" folder added
automatically. If I don't put my setups there, nothing shows up in the
game...

P.s.: If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know ;-)

That's exactly what it was. Who knows why.....

Thanks!

F1 2000 creates a subfolder to your namefolder for each team you join,
so if you change team you must copy the files from the old folder to the new
one.

By the way : It seems that you can change your player name, simply be
renaming the folder
and the 'playername'.PLR file in it - (make a backup copy first just in case
...)
This way you can always use the correct drivername when you join a new team.

I think, if you create a profile using a certain car and listing
whatever setups, and then change to a different car this new folder
will be created. This folder is blank and is your new profile but it
has none of your setups. You can copy the setups needed into the new
folder or delete that profile and start from scratch. I have not
confirmed this, but I have seen this twice. I do not think it has to
do with faulty setups that have been downloaded.

It allows you to have different setups for each car when you add the patch
1.06 or 1.09. Let me guess, G03, you drive the Schumacher Ferrari ? ;)
All the numbers correspond to the car number, eg. J05 is the HHF Jordan
folder etc. just copy your setups into whichever car you're driving's
folder.

says...
In retrospect, that makes a hell of a lot of sense. I didn't notice
that behavior before v1.09 - must have been the new feature after all.
