Comparing early F1 2001 lap times

Iain Mackenzie asked whether others could match the AI times in F1 2001, being 2-3 seconds off at the A1-Ring and Monza. Players posted times around 1:09-1:15 at the A1-Ring and 1:24-1:29 at Monza with various assists, and swapped setups. Some missed trackside marshals and flags.

Is anyone able to get anywhere close to a decent time i.e. the AI times in test day for instance on A1 ring or Monza? I'm still about 2-3 seconds off the pace despite trying hard for 2-3 days now! Iain
Iain I have been struggling with drivers for 3 days... Finally got it sorted tonight.. great game.. A few misses (no flags!) or stewards 1.29.XXX around Monza so far Ian D

I managed a 1:24.x in a Williams compared with Michael Schumacher's 1:19. I managed a 1:22.x with throttle assistance set to low. I'm still not sure if I should be using it or not. Looking at Autosport.com I found that Michael Schumacher's pole position time this year was 1:20.447 and JPM was 8th with a 1:22.219 so it looks like the AI run a bit fast. Looks like I'll have to turn down their ability slightly. Looking at Austria, Schumacher again set pole with a 1:09.562. How does this compare with the AI in your test session?

I seem to recall seeing a 1:08:9 at A1. I'm stuck at 1:11 so far though! Iain "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:rGnw7.41929$[email hidden]... > From: "Iain Mackenzie" > > Is anyone able to get anywhere close to a decent time i.e. the AI timesin

Me too 1:29:xxx but working on it. The flags thing doesn't bother me cos they are shown on the steering wheel. I can't see what all the fuss is about, just because there aren't guys at the side of the track! Iain "Ian Dickson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3bc20725$[email hidden]...

Iain Just me being fussy about the marshalls!! I like the feel of this game.. You have been coming to this group for a few years!! I always read (with interst) your views on the new F1 stuff.. I had the same problem with G3 drivers, but got there tonight I had to download a whole new set from ELSA's site plus a registry cleaner. I got in a pickle with half of one and some of another I had white replays, no mirrors, stuttering etc... I have seen some nice skins on the net already.. BAR, JORDAN and Ferarri with Tobacco sponsership etc.. Nice one Ian D

On the way I am not the best setup guy I just drive the car. Most of my setup are designed around oversteer. "Iain Mackenzie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aaqw7.41998$[email hidden]...

Sure. I think that I glide around to many corners. The AI zoom. BTW I have the AI set to 100%. -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Member: Screamers Racing League GPL Rank + 27.58 ---------------- Busch Motorsports: Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward ----------------- Busch Carpentry: Plans?

Arrows - 1.10.210 at A1 with no throttle assistanse Jordan - 1.09.780 at A1 with low throttle assistanse Williams - 1.24.935 at Monza with no throttle assistanse Williams - 1.24.287 at Monza with low throttle assistanse McLaren - 1.24.395 at Monza with low throttle assistanse Can't remember the times on the few other tracks I have tried. All times are set with only "Automatic Clutch" enabled. Karsten Borchers www.simracing.dk P.s.

That's a bit odd.. when I got the game I spent a couple of hours on Suzuka, mostly experimenting with different controller and car setups. After that I did 10-20 laps on Monza and did a 1:27 lap in a ferrari, default setup. The weird part is that this was done with bigtime controller problems which I still haven't solved, it's possible to go much faster than that with a good controller and good car setup. What car were you driving? Andre
I have the AI set at 100% and the aggression at 68%. The only aid I have turned on is the clutch. -- ---------- Jeff Murchison http://murchman.tripod.com [email hidden] "Richard "ZZ" Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LUsw7.178137$[email hidden]... > Sure.
