full on F1

Has anybody tried the demo version of Full on F1 at the gamesdomain site? I loaded the game and then decompressed the Zip file and tried to run it. It just seem to crash my PC. I read the "readme.txt" file and referenced a disk drive. What's the deal? Can anybody help Confused

I also tried it without success. The readme file makes it sound like it is supposed to run from a cd-rom, like one that comes with a magazine. It looks like it is booting up, and then it dumps to a bizarre hi-res monochrome dos video mode with the error message "can't find mouse pointer graphic". I tried it in its own directory, and on the root of a drive. Anybody have any solutions? -- "Feel Lucky, Scubaboy?" - Discovery Channel, Shark Week, 1995

I downloaded it and had some trouble with it to. But I changed the download to directory C:\F1demo and got it to work. Calibrating the joystick and/or keyboard is still funky, but at least I can get it to run. The opening screen says it's from PC Gamer. Is that the magazine or something else? Unzip to C:\F1Demo, than run F1.exe Bye RB

Here's my solution: Don't bother, its not a simulation its an arcade game and it sucks big time. Cheers Martin

I tried that with a fresh download, but it still didn't work. I got an error "can't find the sample sample\skidbend.snd". The file is there, but they are all in the directory I unzipped to, so I created a \sample subdirectory, put all the *.snd file there. Took care of that error message, but then I still get the error "can't find mousepointer graphic". I have a file "mouseptr.bbm", and it's probably the file, but supposed to be in some specific subdirectory the zip file didn't create. I checked the PC Gamer website, but they didn't have it for downloading. They may have had it on a CD. The Games Domain site I got the demo at has no instructions for running it.

Look guys, don't take offence but really, after reading of your problems i deceided to have a play and all that was required (at least in my situation) was to copy the file to c:\f1demo and type pkunzip -d f1demo.zip. If you are going to d/l files 99.99999% of the time you will need to add the -d option with pkunzip (this creates any directories in the zip file). No if only I could get the sound working:) Anthony.

Where can I download this demo? What is this game called? Full on F1? I tried to find it in gamesdomain but it is not there, i did a search for Full on F1 but it has no hits... Chris ==========================================================

Hi there, I did make the sound work, it seem the path is wrong, and the program did not find it. Go to subdirectory, TOF1DEMO and do the setup there, if not done already. What I did is to move 4 files to the main directory of the game, the 2 INI files and the 2 drivers, you choose for your sound card (.mdi and .dig) and you will have sound, next time you start the Demo. Can you tell me if you see the screen of the game in full SVGA details, for me the game doesn't look good. It look like VGA, or maybe it because , I have a 486DX2 66Mhz. So if the demo look to perfect to you, just tell me. Thanks Baz
