F1cs2000 question for John Bodin... or anyone else who might know...

I've been using your all-chassis patch for F1cs2000 for quite a while
and I really dig it... so much, in fact, that I'm too chicken-shit to
try to install any enhancements to the game in fear of losing your
patch's compatability with the game after an upgrade. I'd like to try to
install Bobi's 2001 season patch, but will that f-up your all-chassis
patch? If so, can I just re-patch with the all-chassis patch after using
Bobi's patch? Any help would be appreciated... I'm jonesin' for a 2001
race against Monty!

Warlock!

  When I first put Bobi's 2001 carset in, I also chose to use the .veh files
that Bobi included in a separate folder, these were John B's files and all
the cars then went to HE$$.  Multiple spins.  I put Bobi's files back in and
the guys figured out how to drive again.  If you figure it out, let me know

The *.veh files in Bobi's 2001 carset are actually the "Advanced" (not
"***") files from the ACP, with the proper driver names to
reflect the 2001 season grids.  

We used "Advanced" rather than "***" to better reflect the
enhanced grip that the teams are seeing this year versus the 2000
season.  FWIW, the ONLY difference between the ACP "***" and
"Advanced" files is the grip levels for the tires, with the "Advanced"
level offering slightly better grip.  

So, if you go with Bobi's files, you will be getting the Advanced ACP
physics, rather than the game's default values.

Hope this helps!
