F1 2001 info - very interesting

Hi all, Dunno if anyone else is getting this but with the FF strength on 80% I'm getting 30 fps at race starts and 40-50 fps for the rest of the race, which is fantastic. However, put the force-feedback strength up to 90% and suddenly the frame rate halves! The game becomes very jerky when there's other cars about. That's not a problem for me because the FF feels right on 80%, but it might help anyone having frame rate problems. My system is- P4 1.7 GF2 PRO - 21.83 nvidia drivers 256 MB PC 133 ram WinME Guillemot Ferrari FF wheel Simon. p.s. what a fantastic game

Yep my frame rate drops the more I up the FF. Act Labs FF wheel. I still get 40-50 fps though so it's not too bad.

Makes absolutely no difference at all with me - all strengths have the same excellent frame rate. Athlon 1.4 GF3 Ti500 @1280.
