F1RS Funny Stuff Happening....

What causes my steering wheel and pedals to suddenly reverse assignment? I qualified one day, went to the garage, and started to head back out for the rest of the session and my brake pedal was the accelerator, and when I turned right, the car went left !!!! What's up? Also, it seems that EVERY time I try to do a replay, I get a F1VOO.EXE exception crash and dumps out of the game. I've got the 1.07 patch on. Craig Marcho

Pirated? I was one of the first in the USA to buy mine from InteractCD on the internet........I got it way back in November.....It's the imported UK version. I highly doubt it's a pirated copy......I've got all documentation and registration has been filled out. It seems I've heard someone mention these but I didn't hear anything about a "pirated" version. Craig M.

I've heard it's a known bug in the pirated version of this game. If that's the case I suggest you go out and buy it, it's a real good sim and the authors deserve to be rewarded for their efforts. A. Renault On Thu, 26 Feb 1998 17:09:50 -0600, "Craig Marcho"

The F1RS demo on this month's copy of BOOT magazine CD-ROM has the same problem and that certainly isn't pirated. regards, D

Pirated , thats bullshit, i've had the game since it came out here in the UK and over the last 2 weeks or so i too have experianced the same problem with all the controls reversing themselves.

I've got the same problem: steering wheel being reversed after visiting garage, and I have the original game too. Its the only software I actually pay for: racing sims!!!! However I use the NO CDrom patch. Why? Because the game really sucks without this patch: the menu's take a lifetime to load, and the game crashes sometimes. (its called: bad programming...) It seems that the no-cd patch might cause this problem..... But they're working on a new version. Karl

I'm sorry, I wasn't accusing you, I was merely reporting what I had heard... If that info is incorrect (as it seems to be the case) please ignore my previous post and I hope you'll soon get a fix for your problem. A. Renault On Thu, 26 Feb 1998 20:10:42 -0600, "Craig Marcho"

I have the original, and the same happens. also has major bugs in the network game. can't load settings for example, collission detection is about a car length out if one is going 100mph more than the other. you only notice this with 2 screens side by side. but apparently UBISOFT won't do anything about it because of the FIA Licence aggreement. they don't want the network play to be too good for some strange reason.

If I understand you correctly, then I have the same problem also. I have a Thrustmaster GP2 racing wheel, and the accelerate and brake "pedals" get reversed after 1 race (either finishing the race or abondoning it). I have to exit the game in order to get it set again. Changing the assignments in the configure/control area doesn't do anything. I am running F1RS with patch 1.05 (never installed 1.07). The problem occured right after installing the "nocd" patch. I've had the game for over 2 months and never had the problem until the "nocd" patch was applied. I haven't tried the replay, so I dont know if I get the exact same problem as you - will check it out though. Maybe someone can confirm that this patch does indeed create the problem?

It seems to me that you've solved your own problem. Jerry Morelock

With the full 197MB installation the menus are a lot faster than in the medium installation. Will the menus be even faster with the nocd patch? Doesnt seem likely to me. >I've got the same problem: steering wheel being reversed after visiting >garage, and I have the original game too.

What's this stupid FIA agreement. What do these arseholes think their doing? I hear similar things about Nascar having exclusive privalige for multiplayer with Papy too.
