GPL site setups/replays and F12002 mod potential?

Hey all, Just brainstormed some ideas about the mod potential of F1 2002 and my purist feelings on it to my site, also you can get my GPL setups and replays here also... http://home.clara.net/david.powell4/ Enjoy.. David...

Very nice looking page, but a few things... 1. File checking is all that's needed for a level playing field - I'm sure Simon Philips can tell you more about this than I can... 2. The car setup option screens can be customized in a mod to allow only certain parameters to be changed...again file checking can enforce this...The FIAGTV3 mod should prove that wildly different cars can be accurately modelled in the game engine. The question is, how good is the file checking in F12002. I don't seem to recall seeing any cheats on F12001 rank, so I would guess that Simon has implemented something similar in the new telemetry. -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F12001 rank: -11.512

The exe itself checks for modified physics. If its modified you wont be able to submit your laptimes, or race online. If someone with modified physics enters a host, he will be verified. If he fails the verify, he will be kicked out automaticly. This is checked before each even too, so you cant alt-tab in practice, to enter qualify with modifed physics nor the race. I think its worse in GPL where there are no checking at all for cheaters, and only the few who knows how, can do it.

Forgot one thing " Here lies another problem with 3rd party add-ons, you still have all set-ups options available for a recreated lotus 49 in a simulation designed for use with modern F1, how do these options like 3rd spring, spring packers and brake duct size effect a car that never had these options." Just edit out the 3rd spring and it wont be used in the physics. and btw, you will need todo a new suspension for the car, and this is only possible in F1 2001 / 2002. (susp.pm) which defines how the suspension parts is joined togheter etc. No other sim has that from what ive seen. brakeduct size can be set to fully open, and just edit out too so it cant be changed.

When somebody sells an ALMS sim that feels right and has the proper tracks...I'll dump that mod. When somebody produces a CART sim, I'll erase another. When somebody figures out the proper LMP 900 physics and tracks and such, I'll dump that beta. I know the mods are not right, are not even close in some respects...but they are a damn sight better than the alternative.... dave henrie
