F1RS

Anyone know how much Hard Drive space F1RS takes up ? Thanks Andrew

>Anyone know how much Hard Drive space F1RS takes up ? >Thanks >Andrew A full 3Dfx install is somewhere between 160-190MB. There are smaller options (I think the least (minimum) is ~70MB) But, you wouldn't want anything less than full-install anyway to facilitate quick menu-switch times. Regards, John Wehman

Full install is about 197Mb. -- Bruce. (At home)

Thats nothing. Try Blade Runner full install "1.5 gig" need a new hard drive already:) > >> Full install ( of F1RS ) is about 197Mb. << > 'Clunk' ( Sound of me falling backwards off chair ) > Phillip McNelley

Look at the disk requirements for Longbow 2 next time your in a store, if I'm not mistaken it's around 270 mb.

I works the other way also. HardDrive manufacturers must jump with joy, when they see games that require so much drive space. :) Marc. -------- To replay via e-mail, remove ".spam" from the end my e-mail address (Tyring to avoid junk mail)

Haha. anyway, I can get it down to around 150Mb , full 3Dfx install. > >> Full install ( of F1RS ) is about 197Mb. << > 'Clunk' ( Sound of me falling backwards off chair ) > Phillip McNelley

YEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWW! My copy of F1RS just arrived! Sorry, but I had to let that out. Off to do some test driving . . . -- Rob

>are they selling F1RS in the US? It's not in the stores yet, but you can call 1-800-UBI-SOFT if you want a copy. I received mine the next day. -- Kevin (Remove the "x-" prefix from my address in order to reply via email)

are they selling F1RS in the US?

I was told last week by Electronics Boutique, that it would be a few more weeks before F1RS hites the shelves. I understand it can be ordered from Ubisoft but do not know if it is the North America version. Don

F1RS is the worst game in history because one of the 16 included tracks is 1.218274323240926523452341234 inches lower in one corner than it is is real life!!!! There, glad I got that off my chest. </sarcasm off> -- Rob

If they call it a SIM why are the tracks not perfect ??? They had better put "A simulated simulation" on the box! Bart :-)

says... It is the English version. Ordered mine a week ago last Thrusday and got it last Monday. Been absolutely gluded to the monitor racing or trying to ever since. Russ

WRONG! It's 1.3 inches lower--and that's quite more than my tolerance allows. It goes back to the store tomorrow. Dave

Actually that is wrong! The last digit should be a 3 not a 4. See, it's not so bad afterall :)

what is the difference between the 3dfx version and the D3D, that is should i buy a 3dfx card or a nvidia card?

>what is the difference between the 3dfx version and the D3D, that is should >i buy a 3dfx card or a nvidia card? Since I have not run F1RS in D3D mode, I only know about the 3dfx mode. The only advantage of the Riva card would be that it is also a 2D card. The 3dfx card is not, and needs a 2D card also. However, if you have a 2D card and want the best performance possible, 3dfx is the only choice. It does all the Riva does plus Glide. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

> what is the difference between the 3dfx version and the D3D, that is should > i buy a 3dfx card or a nvidia card? I've tried the D3D version, it looks just the same as the 3DFX, but is slower (do you need frame rates over 50?), but a pretty fast D3D card gets you going. I have a pretty slow D3D card (Screamin' Verite 1000), but the game is still playable... -- ---Asgeir--- Any information herein must be used with utter discretion and respect

What card did you try the D3D version on ? There is no way the D3D version looks the same as the 3Dfx version, unless maybe you ran the d3D version on a 3Dfx card. Regards Andrew

Just downloaded the English version demo (11x3mb files). Game installed and runs OK, but I'm a bit disappointed with the acceleration and braking. Even with 100% sensitivity, if I jump right on the accelerator of brake, I don't seem to wheel spin, or lock up. The only time I hear screeching of the tires is going around corners. In GP2, the art of applying the right amount of brake into corners without locking up was a key element. Given the positive response to this game, I wonder if it is something to do with the demo, or something I have set-up wrong. Interested to know if owners of the game do experience lock-ups and ability to wheel spin at the start.

The demo has all the easy options set for driving. Its a "little" harder in the full version. Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Infamous Pink Flamingo Pilot...<G>

I don't know if the demo has these options, but in the full version, you can turn off anti-lock brakes and traction control. -- Coln Punter Fife/Scotland >Just downloaded the English version demo (11x3mb files). >Game installed and runs OK, but I'm a bit disappointed with the acceleration >and braking.

Julian, I have get F1RS and assure you that in final game lock-ups and wheel spin at the start and corners is more easy than in GP2 . Gas pedal needed very attention !!! Bye Mario from Italy
