See if there's a new folder in your Save directory. I downloaded some setup files from god-knows-where, and I got a "G03g" folder added automatically. If I don't put my setups there, nothing shows up in the game... P.s.: If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know ;-) -- s i m a g e r y @ h o t m a i l . c o m

I had some setups for F12K that either came with the game or were downloaded by me awhile ago, and now they're not on the setup list. In fact, the entire setup list is blank. A look into the folders under Windows 95 indicates that they're still in the "Settings" sub-folder under my name in the "Save" folder, but they don't show up on the list in the game. Anybody have any idea what might be wrong? Thanks.

That's exactly what it was. Who knows why..... Thanks! BriGuy wrote:

F1 2000 creates a subfolder to your namefolder for each team you join, so if you change team you must copy the files from the old folder to the new one. By the way : It seems that you can change your player name, simply be renaming the folder and the 'playername'.PLR file in it - (make a backup copy first just in case ...) This way you can always use the correct drivername when you join a new team. Otto. BRH <[email hidden]> skrev i en nyhedsmeddelelse:[email hidden]...

I think, if you create a profile using a certain car and listing whatever setups, and then change to a different car this new folder will be created. This folder is blank and is your new profile but it has none of your setups. You can copy the setups needed into the new folder or delete that profile and start from scratch. I have not confirmed this, but I have seen this twice. I do not think it has to do with faulty setups that have been downloaded. On Mon, 17 Jul 2000 22:05:02 -0400, BRH <[email hidden]> wrote:

It allows you to have different setups for each car when you add the patch 1.06 or 1.09. Let me guess, G03, you drive the Schumacher Ferrari ? ;) All the numbers correspond to the car number, eg. J05 is the HHF Jordan folder etc. just copy your setups into whichever car you're driving's folder. -- Ian Parker "Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy." <email invalid due to spam> Otto Nadolny <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5xXc5.2183$[email hidden]... > F1 2000 creates a subfolder to your namefolder for each team you join, > so if you change team you must copy the files from the old folder to the new > one. > > By the way : It seems that you can change your player name, simply be > renaming the folder > and the 'playername'.PLR file in it - (make a backup copy first just in case > ...) > This way you can always use the correct drivername when you join a new team. > > Otto. > > BRH <[email hidden]> skrev i en > nyhedsmeddelelse:[email hidden]... > > That's exactly what it was.
