Has anyone tried the new third party driver available at Force One. The URL is http://www.force-1.com/ should see a link to the driver about half way down the page. I downloaded the file and unzipped, but the readme tells you to put the glide file into the Formula1 folder. I don't have such a folder and I'm afraid to put it anywhere else. Any suggestions? Larry
Don't know what this is all about, as F1RS has been compatible with V2 since patch 1.08! Patch 1.09 is the one to use.

I've not had any problems with 1.09 patch either. That's why I'm hesitant to install it. Larry >Don't know what this is all about, as F1RS has been compatible with V2 since >patch 1.08! >Patch 1.09 is the one to use.

Doubtful, since it seems to be Glide related, it's either the old Glide files needed to get the game to "see" the Voodoo 2 under installation, OR it's the newer Glide in the beta drivers (which I think has Glide 2.53 and the beta of 3.0). Unless there's something we're not aware of, I can't see F1RS gaining much benefit from the new Glide, 2.53 didn't do anything major and 3.0 won't do anything unless the game is written for it. I'd check to see if there is a file with the same name already in the F1 folder, and back it up, then copy the mystery Glide file in there, or just do a small install of F1RS elsewhere on the harddrive and check it out, but I'd be real surprised if it does anything.

It looks like the website got their F1 games mixed up..I'm pretty sure its for Psygnosis Formula1.. not F1RS As someone else said v1.08 and later work with Voodoo 2
