F1 2000 Add-on Recommendations?

So after receiving a Dell P3-800 with a GeForce, I can run F1 2000 pretty well - it doesn't compare to the sheer beauty of GPL but Suzuka is a great track and I can tone down the AIs to have a decent race. Can anyone suggest the best add-ons beyond the 1.09 patch? Thanks in advance. -AN

In addition to the 1.09 patch, you'll want to go to the Blackhole Motorsports site (http://www.bhmotorsports.com/) and grab the modified cockpit view (makes it more like GP3 and less like you're looking over the nose), and all their car setups. There are some AI tweaks you might want to try, too. That's probably a good start on the "must-haves," at least. The modified cockpit file is on their "F1 2000 Utilities - Car & Driver Updates" link: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/f12k_uti_car.htm You'll want to download the "Realistic Cockpits Pack (Clay)" -- this is what the new view looks like: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/f12k_utilities/cockpit_pack.jpg Hope this helps! -- JB In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote:

Thanks for the tips, folks. I'm looking forward to the changes - perhaps it will defer my purchsase of GP3 for a while ;) -Amit

I would go with the 4 addon tracks that were ported from SCGT, being Road Atlanta, Sebring, Laguna Seca, and Morsport. You can get the first 3 at bhmotors, Morsport is at simracing.com. Other then that you might want to try some new carsets or some track updates. Take care. - Loren

Hey! Thanks for the pointer to the converted Mosport track. I've been hoping that one would appear - I even started work on the menu loading screens for it, I'll have to finish them up tomorrow.

Lots of "splash" in the face too..<g>. Small file, and runs on its own. You can set Wet or Dry for any circuit, and start F12k right from the util. Easy to switch back to default (dry). (after testing, I found if you want clouds, Skybox must be set to max-detail, and "pretty sure" tire-smoke must be ON, maybe Max-tire-smoke adds more spray. It seem higher the detail settings, the more (longer) tire-spray you will see. Of course, higher detail may mean slower frame-rate too). It definitely =does= change any race! Very nice job for such a small add-on. Can get it direct at: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/f12k_utilities/weather_manager11.zip Or at Blackhole, in Utilities. http://www.bhmotorsports.com/ Name/author: WEATHER MANAGER V. 1.1 [Simon Phillips] Matt ----------------------------------------------------------
