Anyone else found the Controls Oversensitive? I am using the Standard PS2 Dualshock2 Controller Any Ideas as it would be a great game if this was sorted
Here's a paste of my earlier post on the exact subject. All: Well! After two days of test-driving and number-crunching, I seem to have "figured out" the setup system of F1 2001. Boy, do I know more now than I ever did about car setup...! Guys and gals, this *really* is the GPL of the PlayStation2. I mean it - GT3 doesn't hold a *candle* to the simulation driving model in this game. If you recall, in my previous review post (on f1gamers.com), I commented that if downforce is set up for understeer, there is a screeching sound along straights, hindering top speed. I am stupid. I WAS BOTTOMING OUT. It took two days for me to realize that (by trial and error)! Doofus! After *properly* setting up my Ferrari F2001, I seem to have solved the following quirks of EA's masterpiece: 1. Overly-sensitive driving controls. 2. Oversteer on all parts of all tracks. 3. Unrealistic high-speed cornering ability. Here are my findings. Soon (perhaps), I will create a section of my website (home.austin.rr.com/jpwilson) that will host this information permanently for all to see and contribute to. Note: these are extreme values. I encourage you to use these as a base, and tweak to suit your driving style. This setup works well at medium-speed curcuits like Silverstone (my testbed). Tires: Compound is Hard Front Pressure is 23.5 psi Rear Pressure is 25.5 psi Aerodynamics: Front Wing is 1 Rear Wing is 20 Suspension: Front Ride Height is 50mm Front High Bump Stop is 50mm Front Low Bump Stop is 50mm Front Springs are 120n/mm Front Sway Bars are 300n/mm Rear Ride Height is 75mm Rear High Bump Stop is 75mm Rear Low Bump Stop is 75mm Rear Springs are 135n/mm Rear Sway Bars are 120n/mm Brakes: Brake Balance is 20 (1=front, 100=rear) Brake Strength is 30 Go forth and multiply!
