There's a review here:
http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk/gdreview/zones/reviews/pc/nov00/f12000cs.html
Seems to be a GP3 beater (not that GP3 would be hard to beat ;) only
really disappointing thing to read is that the weather is not dynamic.

Wonder where we all send in our $5.00, to get an F12k update disk??

It sounds to me like the work on F1CS2K represents far more than a
simple update to F1 2000. As much as I hate to have to spend more
money on yet another F1 sim, I have already ordered F1CS2K just to get
the Driving School mode, which sounds like it's going to be a blast.
This alone obviously represents much more than a simple "upgrade."
Ditto the improved AI. Ditto the revised graphics engine. Ditto the
updated tracks (Monza and Spa). Ditto the weather effects. Do I need
to go on, or can we put this "F12K update" issue to rest?

Maybe, but it did not take 4 years, did not have inherent flaws
that went unfixed (like GP2's slomo, and one car sound). Plus
it has the current season. I certainly see no reason NOT to get
it. The review didn't mention if the FF was fixed or not, and it
would certainly be bad if it wasn't fixed.

Oh, come on, if you've played F1 2000, GP2 and GP3, from what can be
read in the preview of F1CS you honestly cannot say that. Have you
*tried* playing GP2 after GP3? When F1CS arrives, try switching back to
F1 2000. I might be wrong here (and I so much hope I am), but apart from
some fine tuning I doubt there would be much of a difference.
I'm still considering buying it, but only after I hear reports that some
handling stuff was/can be corrected. I mean, the tyres and springs in F1
2000 felt as flexible as those on a Renault 4 I once drove (if you have
a chance, try that, it's great fun, as so much body lean is hard to
believe or comprehend!), and the engine seemed to be connected to a
flywheel the size of a truck tire. What was even more sad was that these
things were tweakable by a simple text editor, but doing so made the
physics engine unstable, or the AI unable to drive the cars.
So unless I hear such changes are in place or are at least possible to
be corrected without consequences, I'm willing to consider it. A better
Eau Rouge, car reflections in the wet, or even the improved AI just
won't be enough for me to buy F1 2000 again.
