F1 2001 - Force Feedback?

by Greg Cis » Sun, 18 Nov 2001 01:54:33

I just tried F1 2001 and was quite dissapointed. Everytime I
went to a track selection, the game crashed and the sound
repeated.

Anyway, I downloaded the latest drivers for my SB Live! &
V5 5500. Now I read on the EA website that there is no
ForceFeedback in F1 2001 at all. Is this right? In F1 2000
and F1 2000 CS, you could at least feel the bumps in the
road, curbing and when hitting other cars.

Greg,

There is no FF, but there is meant to be a patch (Mid-November IIRC) to
implement this *properly* rather than the pseudo-FF that was in CS.  It is
not an ideal situation, but I think that including proper FF will really
make this the best modern F1 ever.

I have also been amazed about just how stable it is, I played for about 3-4
hours when I first got it with no crashes whatsoever (I had heeded warnings
about Geforce driver versions).  Hopefully the isnt the problem here :/

Hope you get it working, I *DO* think it is worth the hassle to get it
working properly, although I am deeply disappointed that Multiplayer AI isnt
included, rendering it useless for our FULL GP LAN league :(.  I would hope
they would add this, but it seems like I am the only person who really wants
this :(.

All the best,
Ash

You are definitely NOT the only person that wants that feature.  On the
rare occasion that I can persuade people to play racing games with me on
a LAN, there are never more than a half dozen players.  It would be
really nice to be able to fill out the field with some AI opponents.
