F1 2001 and V5/5500?

I've heard lots of good and bad about this. Sometimes it's like people are talking about different sims. Lots of problems seem to do with the G-Force drivers. What's the word on running F1 2001 with Voodoos? Thanks Larry

I have it at 970/xxx resolution with 16 bit colors and 2x AA. Almost all graphic settings at medium. Working great except for the ai cars disappearing 100 meters ahead. Little slowdown starting from the end of the pack, but that�s it. Haven't tried every track though. - Samu

Works great once you get the right drivers. You can stop the cars disappearing if you change one of the settings in one of config files, can't remember which one, I'm at work at the moment, but it's mentioned a couple of times here recently. -- Sean Black

Working fine here. Settings are 1024x768 - 16 bit 75 mhz. System is a Celeron 566@850 with 384 Megs Ram. Just make sure to select a 16 bit color depth. Larry Lindstrom wrote:

What framerate do you get, and do you use FSAA ? Got exactly the same system, except the 384 Megs of ram. I don't know if more memory helps or not, but I'm really curious on your results. -- Olav K.

What's your cpu & ram?

As i said, i run it at that 960/xxx resolution, because i don�t like slowdowns at all :-) It�s completely smooth except start from the end of the field. I don�t know how to check fps at that game, but i think it�s over 40 fps. - Samu

In \F12001\Save\default.cfg change LODMultiplier=(1.000000) to 3.000000 or 4.000000. It's under the LocalCam=COCKPIT heading.

I've tried every Win98 driver for my Voodoo4, and I get the same problem: mouse pointer flickers in the menu, and disappears when I stop moving it, making it really difficult to make changes to the options on the screen. EA is apparently aware of this, but has no plans to fix it. Otherwise, everything else seems to run fine, so far.

There's a free utility called FRAPS that will run in the background and display fps in the corner of the screen. Get it at www.fraps.com. If you do, please post frame rates. I cannot run a race with my V5, PIII 672 and 256 MB ram without a slide show. Hot lapping is great, 25-40 fps with all graphics on high, 800x600 res, 16-bit textures. Time for a 1+Gb processor, damn! -- Joe Marques "Samu" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9qevs5$rv7$[email hidden]... > > "Joe Marques" <Joe [email hidden]> kirjoitti viestiss� > news:BoCy7.20725$[email hidden]... > > What's your cpu & ram? > > > > Thanks, > > I have P3 1080 mhz and 384 mb.

I'm using 4.13.01.0028 (10/13/2000). The file package is vs-w9x-1.04.01-beta. How are the omega drivers? I have them but hesitate to install them since I don't want to introduce problems. -- Joe Marques "Samu" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9qh6c5$a6i$[email hidden]... > > "Joe Marques" <Joe [email hidden]> kirjoitti viestiss� > news:zPLy7.23323$[email hidden]... > .

No problems on any game that i have tried so far :-) Except in Gpl - Brands hatch, the grass texture is looking weird 100 meters back and forth??? Don�t know if that has anything do with the driver version though.... These drivers are not really "new". They are just a compilation of files from different sets. No actual coding has been done by 3:rd party. Hope you get the game working. - Samu
