What F1 2002 'aids' and setting should I be running?

Another question regarding F1 2002 - what settings should I be running in-game for the game to 'feel' right (ie. like the cars responds to my commands)? I was originally driving with everything OFF (ie. traction control, steering-help, etc), but I think it feels much better with traction-control on LOW and stability on HIGH. What settings are you guys running? -- Regards, David Mocnay

You about have it I think. Some have limited traction control to low and don't use stabilty but I would guess that would be individual choice or league enforced. Have fun. dave henrie (ps..when the new Viper and those other cars in the GTR 2002 mod come out, TC and Stability may be mandatory...) :) "David Mocnay" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Well I've been playing racing-sims for the last 10 years at least and GPL since the demo came out ... so I would not think of myself as a 'begginer'. I gennerally frown at ani 'aids' as they I don;t like anything which takes the 'control' away from me. Though, I do want the kind of set-up that feels 'realistic' and where I feel that my inputs are making all the difference - this is what GPL gives me. I did not have that feeling when I had everything OFF in F1 2002 ... but then maybe I did not have something else set right. Still, any suggestions on what to have ON/OFF are apreciated as I'll give them a go. -- Regards, David Mocnay In article <ans90j$flci4$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says... > > Another question regarding F1 2002 - what settings should I be running > > in-game for the game to 'feel' right (ie. like the cars responds to my > > commands)?

Be a man and run with no aids! Once you get the feel down, its 10 times more fun than with any aids on..

Remember what is 'real' this year in F1: They have Traction Control, they have TWO-way telemetry(the engineers can lower or raise engine performance while racing) and They have Launch Control, so turning on some of the aids is not cheating, it's the nature of the sim. this year at least. dave henrie

They also have autoshifting -- but since the real systems are much more sophisticated, whether the EA version should count as an aid or not is open for debate... :)
