I set the fuel usage to x4 and ran a 25% race in a champoionship, but it didn;'t appear to make any difference. I was expecting to have to make pitstops for fuel - trying to simulate a full length race. Does anyone know if this is a general fault or have I got somjething set wrong ?
This is from the readme at www.simmods.com: Fueluse: -------- Unfortunately, F1-2002 guesses fuel use off throttle position and RPM's when the AIW (AI line) is constructed. Since the NGT's run a higher RPM range than most of the GTs, the Laps the game calculates that you will make in a GT car is off by 30% or so. It will under estimate the laps, so it's safe you won't run out of fuel. The NGT's are accurate. ISI is working to make this more flexible in future releases. -- Joe M.

There's a thread and a possible fix at the simmod forum, I haven't tried it myself yet: http://tinyurl.com/46jj Ice D
