Hi All, I noticed the following in the IGN review of F1 2002 (http://pc.ign.com/articles/364/364207p1.html): "For this version, we've gotten ridiculously detailed telemetry, several more setup options, a _hidden high fidelity physics model_ which can be enabled with a tweak to a configuration file..." I was wondering if anyone knew what that tweak was? The review doesn't say anthing further about it. Thanks! John Francis
If you look in the save folder then the folder with your playername, you should see a file with a plr extension. eg joebloggs.plr open this file in notepad and look for the line below Half Rate="1" // 0 = super-high physics rate, 1 = normal change it to this Half Rate="1" // 0 = super-high physics rate, 1 = normal thats all there is to the physics option

Does this 'hifi-mode' cause your processor 'hic up'? How power hungry it is? .mikko
Hi All, I set it even though Trevor said it was incorrect. I noticed no difference, but then I'm completely ham fisted. F1 2002 is completely smooth on my Athlon 1900 + Geforce4 ti4600, no matter what the resolution or color depth (FSAA brings it to its knees though).

The correct setting is below, i said it was 1 in my earlier post, I tend to agree with you that I cant reall see a great deal of difference apart from the car seems a bit livlier when contacting the kerbs. Half Rate="0" // 0 = super-high physics rate, 1 = normal > > I set it even though Trevor said it was incorrect. I noticed nodifference, >
