Psygosis Formula One /TOCA Questions

Stupid question time kids! Why when I run Psygosis' Formula One, my accelerator is either balls to the walls on or dead off? Something wrong with the program other than NOT being GP2 or what? Lend a hand PLEASE!!! ALSO, Where can I find a demo of TOCA? Never seen it and I'm really interested in it. Thanks in advance Cheers, Mike -- "You've never lived 'till you've almost died, and for those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know."

>Stupid question time kids! Why when I run Psygosis' Formula One, my >accelerator is either balls to the walls on or dead off? It really doesn't have analog support. It was designed for gamepads. Joe

I've only run the demo, but I had to change the default controller "digital joystick" to "analog joystick", so that might be your problem too. The demo was *terrible* I must say. I had to break a *little* for La Source and Busstop, but otherwise Spa was almost flat out! I suppose there are options to make it harder in the full game, otherwise it's a joke. --- Jon Petersson Support Sarah-K and the rasf1 car! http://user.tninet.se/~rdv654m/Jon.html user:rasf1 password:gogirl

Yup, that's the wonder of digital throttles. ON or OFF. The analogue throttle in TOCA is much nicer. www.codemasters.com Later, nick

excuse me for asking, what is balls to the walls ? What controller are you using with Psygosis F1? I use MS sidewinder joystick and it is very controllable, even overpower skidding when exiting a tight corner. I gently nudge it when coming out of tight corners and the skidding stops. ( tail side step out ). I had similar problems when I first started P/ F1, I was actually on the verge of throwing it away when I decided to give it one last try. Come to think of it , the same thing happened to me with GP2. The best thing for driving sims is wheel controller if you have the budget. Of course the cheapest alternative is for a modulated sensitive joystick programme. I wonder why no one has this type of programme? regards Leong p/s What is TOCA ?

Balls to the walls = pedal to the metal = flat out driving TOCA is the most fanstastic Touring Car game thus far. It stands for Touring Cars Constructor's Association or something like that. Anyway, its published by CodeMasters and is available at Sim Lim. Stanley > excuse me for asking, what is balls to the walls ? > regards > Leong > p/s What is TOCA ?

Do you know what TOCA is???? Do you have TOCA???? Then you need to visit TOCA : A Players Guide. URL is below -- Visit : http://ds.dial.pipex.com/town/street/sc32/toca/ For : "TOCA Touring Car Championship - A Players Guide" Inc. Cheats, Driving Tips, Circuit Notes + Fastest Laps. >What is TOCA ?

: Stupid question time kids! Why when I run Psygosis' Formula One, my : accelerator is either balls to the walls on or dead off? Something : wrong with the program other than NOT being GP2 or what? Lend a hand : PLEASE!!! There is a patch available (Adrenaline Vault, maybe?) that enables analog throttle as well as analog steering. Of course this doesn't solve the other numerous problems that exist in this game. Still the best track graphics, though. Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!
