What does the F12k 1.09 patch do???
I have the 1.06 patch
What the F1 2000 1.09 patch changed
Posters linked to the changelog for F1 2000's 1.09 patch and discovered that it 'fixed' force-feedback crashes by removing the collision effect altogether. Greg Cisko and Iain Mackenzie called this a sloppy fix, and some said they would stay on 1.06. The thread digressed into Greg's Achilles injury and Falcon 4's bubble-size hack.
Automated summary.
At Blackhole Motorsports they have the patch and also a description of what
it does www.bhmotorsports.com

I liked "Removed crash effect from force feedback."
What the hell kind of way is that to fix the FF crashes
that some people were having?

Maybe they mean crash in a program sense. Seems the most likely scenario!

The way I read it is they took out the FF crash effect. Which obviously
would solve the problem of the program crashing after you hit something.
Has anyone tried the patch yet to see what the deal is? I won't be able
to drive (on the computer or in real life) for probably another month or
two :-(

Greg,
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Do everything your doctor and physio
recommend, as the Achilles is a nasty one if it doesn't heal properly. The
forces which go through many of the tendons of the leg are astounding...

seems like 109 did not do much more than
what 106 did
I sure did not note any difference in the game
did you ??

Well I was playing volley ball. After we were done, I was sitting
down thinking boy this kind of hurts over here. 10 days later
everything seemed fine and I was in my garage chasing after
a run away garage door. The first hard pushoff I did on my right
foot did it. Right where it was hurting 10 days earlier. No snap
or anything like that. But I knew what happened because I was
sort of worried about it :-)

Thanks for the kind words... I have been doing Freespace2 and
F4 when my leg doesn't bother me so much :-)

Thanks for the kind words. The Dr said I should be able to start
putting some pressure on it in 2 weeks. So we will see I guess :-)

No, of course not. I lose function of my left leg a number of months
every year due to venous stasis so know what it is like and have for
about four years now. Get's these nasty ulcers in my ankle which make
doing anything painful. Damn things take about 3-4 months to heal too.
In the meantime get a copy of Combat Mission so you can play a game
with just the mouse. Very good wargame.

Just tried it and yep, the FF effect on collision has been removed.
Obviously a sloppy way to 'fix' the problem that some people were having.

This is almost worse than what the falcon4 programers did
to "optomize" framerate. They reduced the bubble size to
1. This has been reversed as of late, that the F4 team kind
of sucked to come up with that "optomization".
Sheesh no wonder the PC game hobby is crapping out.

yeah but
106 also did not create the pile up
anycase F1 2000 now as it is
things are looking good

Well that may not be realistic :-) Many races have tangles at the
first turn...
Do you have a FF wheel??? If so what about the crash FF effect
with the new patch?

Was (is) it not possible to adjust the bubble size in F4? I thought it was.

I still got pile ups with 1.06. Need to test some more to see if there
is a dif in this area between .06 and .09.

With 1.08us it makes no dif adjusting the slider. There is a 3rd party
hack now that fixes it though and does allow for adjustment.

You can change it manually. Go to your ....falcon4\campaign\save
directory and edit the file falcon4.aii. Look for simbubbledata, the
default value is 350000 IIRC. Lowering this value will decrease the
bubble size (mine's set to 150000 at the moment).

It was not possible until the legendary assembly hex hacker
Sylvan found it and fixed it. This was way before the code for
the game was illegally leaked to the net. Until then you could
certainly slide the bubble slider, but it changed nothing at
all. That is why your wingies missed their bomb attempts
most times. Then there is a secondary bubble stuff :-)
