RE: F1 2000 brakes

Works for me. Don't remember the file exactly, but I think wasn't .veh, was a .cfg, search brake sensitivity in forums.simracingnews.com. (F12000 forum, of course).

With low wings, you'll want a higher number. Be certain you change the right file for your car, each constructor having two different cars. Tom

I saw a post a little while back explaining how to adjust brake sensitivity in F1 2000. But however I change to number in the .veh file, 'nothing happens. Can anybody in the knowing bother him/herself to explain why (or how)? Zen

hi ttoom is lowering the number means less locking ?? how low is lowest ? I did try to start at 3000 but felt little to no difference with the original I am using joystick TToommLL <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Zen wrote; > > >I saw a post a little while back explaining how to adjust brakesensitivity

hi I also did the same but still nothing happens tried to reduce to 300 from 9000 or something but the effect is still the same Zen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZPx65.3094$[email hidden]... > I saw a post a little while back explaining how to adjust brakesensitivity

Are you concerned that they lock up too easily? There's a little blurb about that in the 1.09 patch readme. They claim that it's actually quite realistic at lower speeds where as much downforce isn't being generated and hence there's less grip. I've almost gotten used to it, even with my short-travel Logitech pedals. You can also move brake bias towards the rear a few points and see a significant difference.

You need to change the default.vhs file in the Season00/vehicles folder. Under [CONTROLS] , there is "braking_ratio=9xxx.2" Change that to about 6500 and then make sure you save it when you close. David G Fisher "* Leong" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

hi david What i did was to edit the ACTUAL VEH file ie g18gpxa.veh file = arrows and then did the change to 6xxx.5 and went to track to try out ARROWS and compared immediately with a BAR ( which is at original ) *** impt to compare immediately *** there do not seems to be any difference. but I am using joystick , which might not be the same as wheel David G Fisher <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZS475.24469$A%[email hidden]...

I think you may still have to change the default.vhs file for it to work. If it still doesn't, I guess it must be because of the joystick. David G Fisher

hi David finally got it working Seems like only in default vhe does it work else where would simply produce the same effect Now I have it at 7500 just enough for lock up when I need to know my brakes are working :-)

I've always had to change the g18gpxa.veh style file, because I've chosen to not make all the cars equal in the game options menus. I guess the default.vhs one is for the all cars equal setting. What I do when expirmenting, is have cars not equal. Then change the files to a spread of values, like Arrows1 = 6000, Arrows2 = 7000, Williams1 = 8000. Then startup the game and test them, and try to figure out how it works. I like to have it around 7000 for high wings, currently using 7600 for medium wings, with 50% forward brake balance on the Ferrari. Leong wrote;
