Just picked up F1 2001 and having a lot of fun with it. I've applied all the latest patches and it runs great, even from the back of the pack in a quick race. I have a couple of questions. Does anyone know how to... 1) adjust the view distance of the AI cars so they don't disappear so soon 2) allow me to go into an AI cockpit view (currently can only go 3rd person, variety of wing cams or TV cam. I seem to remember a way of doing this with F1 2000. Thanks!

To get Get cockpit cam TV-Cam for AI cars open the default.cfg in the save dir and copy the cockpit sections and paste it to the bottom now rename whis sections to ONBOARD007 ONBOARD008 ONBOARD009 and there you have it you have 3 camera views more for the home key that you can use with other cars, you can add many more cams but I am not sure what the limit is. -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F12001 rank: +21.435
