F1 2000: HHF always qualify last

Hi, I have a small problem with F1 2000. When I do a quick race, I get a close to real grid, except for HH Frentzen who is always last. Is there a way to adjust the setting in order to put poor Heinz-Harald higher on the grid? Thank you Pierre Bribosia Racing from Mascouche Quebec

You mean they misspelled his name in that file and that causes him to qualify poorly? Bizarre. Thanks for the tip. How on Earth did you figure that one out?

You have to open the file ..\Season00\Drivers\HFrentzen.rcd an change the first row in 'Heinz-Harald Frentzen' (instead of 'Harold'). Now HHF is one of the best! Greetings, Axel ----------------------------------------------------- FAX (02361) 374058

Little known bug in many sim programs. Cyber drivers HATE it when the name is mispelled or they get the Helmet color wrong. Just look at GP2 for example. When the car builders updated the carsets, Schumi was moved from Bennetton to Ferrari. Since he's been there, no more world championships...it's either a cyber typo or the wrong color red(orange) that Marlboro forced them to use on the cars. dave henrie David Ewing wrote:

Maybe he's doing it out of spite?

Excuse me - I don't figure that out by myself. I read this somewhere in another newsgroup. Greetings, Axel ----------------------------------------------------- FAX (02361) 374058
