I tried pressing enter and it does not fix the lack of acceleration problem. I don't think it's a problem with my pit indicator because the pit light in the***pit is not on. From what I can remember I didn't have this problem until I started using the setups I downloaded from www.f1racingsim.com. How could the setups be causing this problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated. TIA! And that's the bottom line. Why? Cause 'Stone Cold' said so!!!!

Almost certainly its the NO CD. remove this and everything should be OK.

remove the no cd rom patch and it may fix it. -- 12:08 on 08/22/98 From sunny Herne Bay, Kent.UK. mailable also at remove NO-SPAM to mail me.

>> I tried pressing enter and it does not fix the lack of acceleration >> problem. >remove the no cd rom patch and it may fix it. I deleted the no cd patch from my directory but that did not help. How else would you remove the no cd rom patch? I even re-installed the game but that did not help either. TIA. And that's the bottom line. Why? Cause 'Stone Cold' said so!!!!

How do you remove the no cd patch. I did not see it in the Add/Remove list so I removed it from my game directory but that did not help. I even re-installed the game...that did not help either. Help! TIA. And that's the bottom line. Why? Cause 'Stone Cold' said so!!!!

installing F1rs, uses a directory written under the windows directory, for a reinstall, you should also delete this directory, AFTER you uninstall the F1rs
