Question only for rich guys - GT mod for F1 2001

I have now tried every car in this mod. I just love it. I hope they will put the real rules in the mod when finished. I.e. the 100 kg to the winner, the pointsystem aso. Really a great job, guys. And I mean both EA and the mod.makers :o) Now to the question. As I don't have severel Ferraris nor Vipers nor Porches, I don't know if they act like in real life (her it comes for the rich) as in this game. If you try your different, let's say Ferraris, is the Modena then WAY easier than the 550 to find a right setup for? And when found the Modena is WAY easier (and more fun) to drive than the 550? And how about compared to the Viper? I found the Modena to be a winner in this field. Easier to setup, easier to handle, more fun driving, but is it real? Is a real Modeno really that much better than the other cars? -- Mvh Sven

Well, who knows? But the GT-R(ex-GT2) cars are somewhat peculiar in this mod. The Viper and the Ferrari 550 brakes extremely badly compared to the N-GT(ex-GT3). They also understeer immensely on turn-in, and the front tyres heat up like crazy. I got 160deg. C on the fronts and 90 deg. C on the rears at Suzuka! It wasn't quite as bad on another track(A1-ring). One would guess that it has to do with that those particular cars are front engined and something isn't quite right in the chassis because the forward CoG. But the Porsche996 GT3, Ferrari 360 and the Lister Storm(although it also has bad brakes) is really, really nice. :) All in all I think it's amazing work.

Thanks Atom! Could you please help me with another issue, too? The driver in the Ferrari 55GT sits so low that I can't see anything. Is there a way of raising the position slightly? In some positions I really don't see anything except the intrument panel!? :-) Achim "Atom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a1ndsg$2ne$[email hidden]...

Hi Biker, thanks for the hint. Do you happen to also know how to raise the driver seat a bit in the Ferrari 550? It's so low that I really hardly see the track, and while I've never driven a Ferrari, this is probably realistic only for drivers in the 5 foot range ;-) Achim "na_biker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi guys, please forget my question regarding the driver seat height. I've found the settings. Thanks! Achim

Hmm... Actually in the touring cars I've seen you pretty much sit right on the floor of the car. You also sit almost a meter further back in the car. Maybe the same deal with these? :) However, you can adjust the camera to whatever position you want. The F1 2001\SaveGT\ folder contains a default.cfg file where you can redefine all cameras.

Hi Biker, thanks for the info. I've meanwhile solved the prob by editing the driver's head position directly in the car files. That was the quickest solution. I agree you should sit deep and far back, but if you sit so deep you don't see the road anymore, your race engineer has been too hard on you ;-) Achim "na_biker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
