F1 Setup files / where do they go?

Header kinda says it all. I read in the manual to put your setup files that you have d/l in the F1datab/saved path. After d/l, unzipping then placing that file in that path, I still cant get to the car setup from within the garage/load setups tab with in the game. Am I missing something here? Thanks for your imput, Tony Gaylord - Portland, OR

Hey, Tony - howya doin'? Did you get F1RS from UbiSoft? I read somewhere that the US version, as opposed to the UK version from Interact, had the latest patches and things already implemented. Also, did you get a CD cover if you got it from Ubi? Also, did they fix the menu problem where it defaults to auto transmission from manual every time you go from testing to racing? How are the replays - if you use them? Are they still really short without sound? Someone else posted a reply re your above-mentioned problem so I won't repeat it.;-) If you didn't get F1RS from Ubi, then never mind. Great game, huh? Later, Buddha

Hello Mike, Thanks for the input. That manual is a little goofed. Anyway got it working so all is good. Thanks again! Take Care - Tony Gaylord Portland, OR

Hello Richard, I did get my copy from Ubisoft, played it safe rather than getting it from Interact.As far as patches go, I really cant tell if there are the new patches in my version but I did read a message from Ubisoft claiming that there was a little more attention payed to the US version than the UK version. Assuming patches etc...... I don't have a problem with the auto/manual part of the transmission with my version. As far as replays go, they are really jerky and have no sound. The next patch from Ubisoft will correct this. The game flys along on my P200/Monster3D/32megs system. If anyone need some info on fixing the 1st lap jerkyness than leave a message hear or e me. I've gathered some great tips that fix this impossible situation ;) Check your shorts! Tony Gaylord - Portland, OR USA Member of : The 3DFX Brotherhood

I could really do with a fix for that!!!! I can never get anywhere in a race as I always crash on the first corner, leaving me so far behind I can never catch up. If

There are 4 different scenerios that make the game much faster, they are : 1. Goto your f1rs/cpa/dll/Snd cna.ini file and look for SXD DIST SATUR=5 and SXD DIST FADE=75 2. Change the SATUR=5 to =1 then change the FADE=75 to =15 (This will lower the distance and number of competitors you can hear, hence increasing framerate) 3. Goto your Control Panel/System/Performance(TAB). Now click Virtual Memory box. Now choose the "let me specify my own virtual memory" option. Then change the Minimum setting to 126 and the Maximum to 128 4. Turn replays "off" 5. Turn sky "off" (The clouds go by so fast, it's notious!) I think that covers it. If I've left something out folks, let it be heard. With these changes the game "FLYS" on my P200/Monster3d/32meg system BTW- if you pick the view in the game, where you see just your nosecone and wheels instead of the***pit, the framerate goes up considerably also.
