I wasn't too impressed with F1 2002 when I first played it (a long
time ago). I've come back to it recently, and have been tweaking away
at the feedback, etc to make it feel better.
The one thing that always irritated me was the fact that the handling
just didn't feel "***y" enough. You can't really (or I can't
really) feel the tires squirming under load, especially that little
"squidy effect" as the car snaps back into line from mild oversteer.
Your tire settings were the last piece of the puzzle and now I have
the perfect modern racing sim... well, except for the weak track
modelling, but I can live with that for now...
I passed these settings on to all my friends who also tried F12002
only to go back to GPL. They've all decided to go back to it because
your tires allow you to really feel the physics engine at work.
Cheers mate.
