Yes, I know, its not much of a simulation :) Nevertheless, it was bundled with my Diamond Monster 3d, and i would like to play it. Unfortunatley, the game won't let me choose joystick as an input device. In fact, "keyboard" seems to be the only option, although joystick is supposed to be available as an option too. My joystick (Wingman Light, 2 Button) is configured correctly under the Windows 95 control panel and works fine with other games (including the Formula 1 97 demo). Has anyone else encountered this problem and/or knows a solution ? Thanks !

It will work with a gamepad, but NOT a joystick/wheel. They released a patch or two that was supposed to address this problem, but did not. Joe

Psygnosis F1 was bundled with my wheel (Digital Edge F1 sim) and uses the wheel fine. There's no setup or calibration screen though - it just works. Pity about your version. I think Psygnosis think PC owners are about as discerning as Playstation owners when it comes to racing games. Paul M

Psygnosis' Technical Support in the UK sent me a patch that solved my joystick problem. Since it seems there have been previously released patches that did not work, maybe this is a new one (might be a beta ? don't know). It does not seem to be accessable via the Formula 1 Home Page at http://www.psygnosis.com/f1pc/index.html although there are some other patches for the game, so i suggested to them it would be a good idea to put it right there.
