I just tried F1 2001 and was quite dissapointed. Everytime I went to a track selection, the game crashed and the sound repeated. Anyway, I downloaded the latest drivers for my SB Live! & V5 5500. Now I read on the EA website that there is no ForceFeedback in F1 2001 at all. Is this right? In F1 2000 and F1 2000 CS, you could at least feel the bumps in the road, curbing and when hitting other cars. -- Thanks, [email hidden]
Greg, There is no FF, but there is meant to be a patch (Mid-November IIRC) to implement this *properly* rather than the pseudo-FF that was in CS. It is not an ideal situation, but I think that including proper FF will really make this the best modern F1 ever. I have also been amazed about just how stable it is, I played for about 3-4 hours when I first got it with no crashes whatsoever (I had heeded warnings about Geforce driver versions). Hopefully the isnt the problem here :/ Hope you get it working, I *DO* think it is worth the hassle to get it working properly, although I am deeply disappointed that Multiplayer AI isnt included, rendering it useless for our FULL GP LAN league :(. I would hope they would add this, but it seems like I am the only person who really wants this :(. All the best, Ash "Greg Cisko" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You are definitely NOT the only person that wants that feature. On the rare occasion that I can persuade people to play racing games with me on a LAN, there are never more than a half dozen players. It would be really nice to be able to fill out the field with some AI opponents.
