.plr file in F1 2002, deadzone and Gt3 mod for F1 2001

Hello Following trev's post for the super hyper duper physics in F1 2002 I have seen in the .plr file that there is the axis deadzone set to 5% which happens to be the smallest possible setting in the game. I was just wondering if anybody had set this to 0% which would make great sense to me (who the f...k invented this crappy deadzone anyway ?) and if the game runs better. I didn't want to try by fear of braking something, I just lost my GT3 mod yesterday after the game crashed, now it just does the graphics setting game and boots always to F1 2001, even if I run the gt3 mod shortcut, I guess I'll have to remove the Gt3 mod and reinstall it....or is there a known fix for this problem ?

Yes absolutely set all deadzones to zero if you are using a wheel and pedals. The deadzones are only useful to people trying to play with joysticks.

In your LemansConfig2001.ini, make your RUNBENCHMARKS=0. Worked for me. -- Fester A lotta people poke fun, and that's alright But when I start pokin' back they get all uptight You can't cap with the master, son So sit your ass down before I blast you one -- Kid Rock

You don't need to edit the deadzone in the plr file. Just change it in the controller options for that specific controller. I just double checked my plr, which I only edited in order to to enable the high-fidelity physics and the deadzones for my wheel are all set to 0%, the same as the in-game menus. Jason

errr, thanks but i don't have such a file. I have a lemans folder in a ALMS2001gtseason folder which contains no .ini file, i have a lemans folder in the seaon01/tracks same, without any ini file and that's it, i have searched all the files in the F12001 direcotry for one that would contain the word runbenchmark and nope turned up...

Hmmm... different structure than mine, so I don't know whats up. You must have other mods installed that I don't. -- Fester A lotta people poke fun, and that's alright But when I start pokin' back they get all uptight You can't cap with the master, son So sit your ass down before I blast you one -- Kid Rock

Have you tried copying the video config lines from your CONGFIG.INI to your CONFIGFIAGTV3.INI? Both files are found in your F1 2001 game folder. In CONGFIG.INI copy the lines from the line CPURATING=... down to (and including) VSYNC=... and paste over the same lines in CONFIGFIAGTV3.INI. You have to do this with each INI for each MOD you are running each time you upgrade your video drivers and after any time you've re-run the video config program. Might help in this situation too.
