Honest opinions... F1 2001?

by Jason Mond » Tue, 16 Oct 2001 08:46:02

I bought it.  Fiddled with the controller setup for the longest time (to
get the feel right) until I decided to copy my F1-2000 settings!  LOL.
Something like 50%, 35% sensitivity and 0% dead zone.

I run it in 1024x768x32 with all AI, full track, medium AI car details and
get 25-40ish FPS.  With 25ish on the grid.  

The only bug I can see, is the mirrors don't work for me on my KyroII even
in 16-bit color mode.

I love the physics, graphics and sound.  I wish it had telemetry.  I'm
working on testing multiplayer -- at least it has online practice, qualify
and warm-up sessions! :)

It is better than F1-2000 --  Yes.  I don't have F1-2000-CS so I can't
comment on that, but for $45 CAD it was pretty cheap! :)

Don't run it in 32bit mode. You will get no benefit by doing so, but
will slow the game down by doing so.
