F1 2002 Demo

I just learned today that this was out, so I downloaded it. First, I agree with the person that posted about the graphics. They have done a great job as far as performance is concerned. I ran it at 1600X1024 32 bit with every option maxed out and it was running at full speed ! That was in testing mode. I haven't tested with a field of cars yet. Question. Where's the Force Feedback? I see no option for this, and there is no mention of it in the readme. They can't _possibly_ be thinking about repeating the same mistake that brought them many of a complaint with F1 2001, are they ? No FF, no sale. It may be because there is no FF, but the tire-to-track adhesion feels all wrong, and it feels a little like the car is rotating on it's center axis. I'm also detecting a bit of 'canning' in the spin responses. Again, FF, if it's present in the release, may overcome most of this. For EA, it's not a bad effort. Certainly the best they've done to date. -Larry

Ff is in there. Just hit options/controls and then the joystick icon farthest to the right. There you set up your ff. It's the best ff of any sim I've ever tried.

Don't remember... Go to google and search for F1 2002. Just pick one from there. Google can find _anything_. -Larry "staffy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3cfb0b14$0$[email hidden]...

WHEN it is topped in ALL departments in the same sim, I'll be over the moon! AND as soon as a sim with better FF comes along I be the first to rave about it. Meanwhile, to say the FF in F12002 is better than GPL is just what I would expect the GPL haters in this community to say!

Geez Gerry you echo'd a statement I made several years ago. Yes it really will be something when GPL is toppled completely. To date there are sims that equal or better it in many areas, but none have the whole package. As for the FF effects in F1 2001, I won't defend the process, but have you tried the dx2 tweeks? Haqsau found that combined with the dx2 tweek if you limit the axis sensitivity to 50% AND run a wheel steering ratio at 12 to 13 degrees, the entire car performs wonderfully. dave henrie

It's a shame that many here will tout any_old_pile_of_crap in their pathetic quest to see papyrus sims knocked off the number one spot. > As for the FF effects in F1 2001, I won't defend the process, but have you > tried the dx2 tweeks?
