If you haven't been following things over at the High Gear forums, I've
finally been able to put together an "All Chassis" patch that gives a
different "feel" for each chassis while allowing for AI performance
that matches the out-of-the-box phyics settings (thanks go out to
Clanker and Turner for their help). Now the player can select any
chassis and enjoy subtly different physics performance for each chassis
without compromising AI performance.
This patch includes new DEFAULT.SVM, GRIP.SVM, and SPEED.SVM files
which are used by the AI.
Special thanks to David Mocnay for coming up with this idea in the
first place. Based on David's original proposal here on RAS, the "All
Chassis" patch dials in the following inertia values for roll, pitch,
and yaw for the various chassis, in order to give each team its own
distinct physics characteristics:
- Arrows - (2000,2500,1000) - Nicest car to drive.
- BAR - (1300,1700,600) - Snappy car, but probably the hardest car to
drive.
- Benetton - (1500,1950,650) - Average to drive and average directness.
Also, snappy.
- Ferrari - (1200,1600,650) - Snappy car that is awesome to drive a but
nasty at the limit.
- Jaguar - (1900,2300,800) - Average to drive and average directness,
though not as direct as Jordan.
- Jordan - (1500,1950,800) - Average to drive and average directness.
- McLaren - (1250,1650,700) - Nice car to drive (not as nice as
Williams though).
- Minardi - (1700,2100,900) - Nice car to drive.
- Prost - (1800,2200,950) - Nice car to drive.
- Sauber - (1300,1700,700) - Excellent response but snappy.
- Williams - (1400,1800, 800) - A really nice car to drive that is
still pretty responsive.

FYI, if you want to switch easily back-and-forth between the "All
Chassis" values and the original values, you can use the F1CS2K
Original Chassis patch:
http://irlinsider.adnetweb.com/sims/F1CS2KOriginalChassis.zip
It would be nice to see the All Chassis values become an
accepted "standard," for use in online and offline leagues, as well as
hotlap competitions. We've now got an advanced options baseline, and I
believe that Redline is going to use these values as one of the default
settings in his physics utility, so all that remains is for
the "standard" to be adopted and accepted by the community.
Both of these work with F12K, but you will have to point the self-
extractor to your F12K directory.
Enjoy!

Sounds great.. Must get the sim... :)
Seriously, is it similar to the SCGT AOE?

Superb piece of work thankyou

Yes, the effect is VERY similar to SCGT's Advanced Options Editor --
that was my goal, in fact, and I think it really transforms F1CS2K.
Hopefully the rest of you will agree; I'd be interested in hearing
others' opinions on this.

You're MORE than welcome -- thanks for the feedback!
Anybody else using this utility? I'd like to see some more feedback
before finalizing the patch, so let me know what you think now, or
forever hold your peace! <G>

I can only agree with what the others said - a great piece of work.
Somehow, the Ferrari that I usually drive in F1CS seems more responsive and
generally 'feels' better.
