Hi. Just tried a copy of F1 2000 to see if I would buy the game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are there no raning days in F1 2000?? And how about a hot/cold day and tirewear? Same temp all over the world every day? Sounds really realistic, almost as realistic as my Fiat 1200 with 6000 HP's. I hope it is the copy that are missing the rain and temp. and that it is in the "real" game. Correct? -- -- Santos Q3

Correct?

Tirewear is very, very much in the game. Rain is in the game. However, you have to manually hack the config file in a text editor and restart the game each time you wish to switch back and forth between wet and dry racing. You also have to download some rainy weather graphics from a third party site- they might only work at the Silverstone track. Basically, they released the game a little before they had managed to finish it. Rain is in it to some degree but it is quite a pain in the neck. I haven't had time to test if the wet driving model is really complete or not. I don't think that you can vary the temp.
