Under the 'unsupported' features button <from v1.06>, what does the 'player models equal' mean? Is this a performance thing? A visual thing? Thanks

I believe it means the performance of your car will be the same, no matter if you decide to use a Ferrari or a Minardi. This was the default setting when the game was released. The unsupported feature allows you to disable this and struggle at the back of the pack if you want an extra challenge. ...Klinn "JackyO" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bcQ55.121$[email hidden]... > Under the 'unsupported' features button <from v1.06>, what does the'player > models equal' mean?

Perchance, what is your car's performance set to? Is there a way to change it?

I believe your default player vehicle specs are in the default.vhs file in the vehicles subfolder (above all the subfolders with the teams' vehicles). When compared to McLaren, I was suprised to see that it is slightly inferior. Normally I expect these games to give you a car at least as good as the best of the opposition and usually better. But note it is better than most other teams. So... Edit it to your heart's content, or select the "unsupported" option of your choice to either have the default vehicle, or race the vehicle of that team.

As to how to reasonably select settings, look at the .veh files for each team car right below in the team folders to get an idea of what is what.
