Hmm.. what a strange comment. I have 'issues' with every program I have ever run. Don't you, Michael, or are you just plain lucky? >What's your point? My point is that the box says it doesn't support Win2K. Surely you don't dispute that.. do you, Michael?

HUH? This is a SIM.

Should have tested better in the first place - AI problems, braking over sensitive ( have you tried pumping the brakes? ) transparant tyres, invisible text when windows pop up, corrupt graphics if you change settings in race, flashing screen when using 1024x768, crap sound. Having said all that, I did enjoy running a few laps at Australia, but if I'm to use the in race menus ( pit board stuff ) , then I need to be able to read the text, not guess what is trying to be displayed. Looks to me as though it was rushed out to beat GP3 release. Well at least my shop has a no quibble return as it's going back tomorrow. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

It's all in the setups. Try Monza with defaults, and the AI cars shoot past on straights. then load up the 'speed' setting, and you'll match them easily at 95% - 212mph on the main straight! F1 2000 is getting better as more people are finding little tweaks. Iain

Your right Iain.... The AI uses the default setups for almost every track... Open the file \Season00\game.gdb in a tekst editor and you will see: F1_Circuit_AI_Race_Setup { Albert Park = default.svm Interlagos = default.svm Imola = default.svm Silverstone = default.svm Circuit de Catalunya = default.svm Nurburgring = default.svm Monaco = grip.svm Circuit Gilles Villeneuve = default.svm Magny-Cours = default.svm A1-Ring = default.svm Hockenheim = speed.svm Hungaroring = default.svm Spa-Francorchamps = speed.svm Monza = speed.svm Indianapolis = default.svm Suzuka = default.svm Sepang = default.svm } You can create setups for the AI so they behave better... Something which is very much needed :) -- Sjon Iain Mackenzie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:EVjD4.3211$[email hidden]...

Hmm.. what a strange comment. I have 'issues' with every program I have ever run. Don't you, Michael, or are you just plain lucky? My point is that the box says it doesn't support Win2K. Surely you don't dispute that.. do you, Michael? You seem ... ***y tonight, but you're cute when you're mad. -- * rrev at mindspring dot com *

Have you tried a suggestion sent to me recently? 'In your F12K directory go to season00\vehicles you will see a file named default.vhs. Open this with any text editor (notepad) and scroll down till you see Controls header then look for Braking_Ratio=(9220.2) or close to this and reduce to 6000 or so then save. go back into game and try it to see if its to your liking. Adjust as nessasary to suit.' > transparant tyres, invisible text when windows pop up, corrupt graphics ifyou change settings in race, flashing screen when using 1024x768, crap sound. I have no problems like these at all. As rrevved says check your video drivers. Iain

He wasn't refering to setups but to tweaking the AI, carphysics etc. What's up with you? You're acting like a yerk last few days accusing everybody of using win2k.. -- Sjon

I had 'given up' on it, Iain. Then I was accused of being a 'yerk' by some johnny-come-lately. More importantly, is F1-2000 fun, or what.. :)

This has been done to death revved why don't you give it up? It doesn't matter what 'it says on the box' F1 2000 (like most other racing sims) works as well under W2K as W98. No i'm not surprised ot works, most games do. W2K has DX7 support OOTB and sound and video drivers from the top manufacturers, why shouldn't games work? As I've said before, the reason F1 2000 says it doesn't support it is because the tech support guys won't know enough about it at the moment. My ISP 'doesn't support' MS IE, only Netscape, but I still use IE. Please give up on this W2K thing. try it yourself first.

Yep, it certainly is! Iain

The graphics problems you mentioned were cured on my system by getting the latest drivers for my card (TNT2). Also increased the framerate too. Peter Hooper Martyn <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8bkpki$rlr$[email hidden]...
