Flame warWarez F1 Championship Season 2000 sparks hostility
Alex Cameron asked for help with poor framerates in a downloaded copy of F1 Championship Season 2000 and said he would buy it if he liked it. Regulars attacked him as a warez user and mocked his spelling; he said he was dyslexic and the exchange became personal. Some on-topic advice covered Detonator driver versions and wheel deadzone problems with Logitech wheels.
Automated summary.
Alex,
Warez is a VERY touchy topic around these parts, so you're ALWAYS going
to be opening a can of worms when you use that word in a post. I do
understand your approach, and I don't doubt your sincerity about
purchasing what you like, but please remember that since you are not a
regular poster her (I don't recognize your name as someone who posts
regularly, anyway), many of the regulars may tend to view you as a
slack-jawed, bottom-feeding "warez dood" who never spends a penny on
what they play, and they will treat you accordingly.
That said, I recommend that you browse the F1 2000 board on the High
Gear F1 2000 forum (http://www.simracingnews.com/). They're not very
friendly towards the usage of warez there, either, but you'll find a
LOT of info on F1 2000 and F1CS2K there, so if you read and post
carefully, you'll usually be able to find answers to your questions.
One thing you might try is to check what your "SystemRating" value is
in the config.ini file (located in your F1CS installation directory).
My Duron 750 is assigned a "SystemRating=3" value by the game during
initial setup and it runs VERY smoothly (20+ fps in nearly all
situations, around 18+ during a start). I tried setting the value
to "SystemRating=5" though, and my performance dropped down into the
mid-teens (17 fps or so max, down to 12 or so at the starts). This can
make a HUGE difference, as I believe the "SystemRating" value
determines how large the textures are; faster systems can handle larger
textures, whereas slower systems are only given smaller textures to
work with (I THINK this is how the "SystemRating" value works, anyway).
On my old AMD K6-2 500 system, for example, I was assigned
a "SystemRating=3" value in F1 2000, but I dropped that down
to "SystemRating=2" and then "SystemRating=1" and saw even better
performance, but the performance came with a price, as the trackside
details (billboards, signs, distance markers, etc.) became much less
crisp and almost blurry (kind of like I was driving without my
contacts!). It was a reasonable tradeoff fo me, though, so I accepted
less crisp graphics in exchange for better frame rates.
So, if you're experiencing poor performance, ALWAYS try taking
your "SystemRating" value down a notch to see if that improves things.
Hope this helps!

need protection from you!!! I've had my fingers burn too many times not to
try games befor I buy them, I've spent around �800 on games in the last year
and a half I even bought Le Mans 24h for god's sake (if only I'd tryed that
first)
I liked the demo of Nascar Heat but it isn't avalable in the uk so insted of
downloading it I orderd it form America.
I understand that if everyboy took advantage of warez no games would get
made and thats why if I like a game I've downloaded (and that's a whole 5
games and none of them apart from f1cs2k are still on my hard disk) I BUY
IT!!! if I don't like it I DELETE IT and save myself �25.
Sorry if I offended anyone but I wanted to know if it is the game or the
messed up warez that dosn't like my pc.

If you're using a warez version, why don't you ask your questions on
the warez boards then!? No one's gonna stop the warez scene, but
don't come bothering people in public boards and news groups. Is that
too much to ask for?
Jan
There MAY be some issues with the latest Detonator drivers (7.xx?).
I'm using a Duron 750 and a 16 MB TNT2 Ultra with the 6.34 Detonator
drivers, and I can run a full field of cars, details set to max, cars
set to medium, effects set to medium or low, mirrors on medium, and the
graphics look VERY good at a constant 20+ fps. I am NOT using a warez
version, so I cannot comment on that -- I have the retail copy, but all
my testing has been done on a late beta copy. I plan on installing the
final retail to see how it compares, but I would expect that it's
similar to what I am currently using.
My guess is you have a driver issue.

Why don't you create a web site with your thoughts on warez and
spelling? Then in future you could just post a link, thus ensuring that
anyone wanting to be bored shitless is only one click away!
Bobi,
Try this:
Setting the "dead zone" slider to zero in the menus, and
the "sensitivity" slider to 100%. Someone else reported that this
solved their problem.
Let me know what you find out.

Ed,
FPS of F1CS2000 is great on my PIII500 V3 3000, 1024 resolution, most
details set to max, and with 21 cars. F1 2000 was unplayable with
these settings on my system :)
There must be some sort of driver conflict on your system.
The deadzone and the ff however, are a problem.
FF is hardly there, and deadzone is way to high on my LWFF (and
ofcourse I set the deadzone to 0 in the game).
Hope there will be a fix for this.
Good thing: It immedialtely worked with my LWFF and CH pedals, so far
only GPL worked immediately with this combo.
To keep it short: F1CS2000 is imho a h-u-g-e improvement over F1 2000,
and (again imho) the best F1 sim so far.
I played GP3 after playing F1CS2000, and I had the same feeling when I
played N3 after playing N4. Yep, I think it's that good.

I'm using a TSW2 -- the deadzone is FINE, but I can't comment on the
Force Feedback. According to ISI, the FF is essentially the same as
it has been since SCGT. There are some available tweaks, but . . .

I have set my deadzone to 5 but I thing that your problem is
the deadzone In DX not in the game. Try to find the DXTweak
utilitie from teh Wingman team
Everyone that can't spell claims they're dyslexic -- maybe they are, but
it's funny that before the term "dyslexic" came into the general
vocabulary (quite recently), "bad upbringing" or "poor education" was
the excuse. Use a spell-checker.
I'm not going to ignite, promulgate, or even participate peripherally in
another useless flame war about warez. Whatever justification you use
(I've got a thousand-foot stack of games I've paid for, I'm just trying
this out, yadda yadda yadda), it's stealing someone else's
property...period.
Jan Loebzien had the best answer:
"If you're using a warez version, why don't you ask your questions on
the warez boards then?"
Since most warez users pride themselves (inordinately) on their
technical chops, there should certainly be someone in the warez
"community" who can help you out.
Since you're a customer of BT Internet Services, and when you signed up
with them you entered into a contract, enforceable under English law,
whereby you agreed to abide by BTI's Terms of Service, let me point out
some specific points from British Telecommunications' TOS dealing with
copyright law and intellectual property rights:
<< 6.3 You warrant that the Information will not include any material
which is (or the accessing of which) would be a criminal offence or
otherwise unlawful. In particular, you warrant that all necessary
licences and consents (including those from owners of copyrights or
performing rights) have been obtained.
6.5 The Service must not be used:
(a) fraudulently or in connection with a criminal offence;
(b) to send, receive, upload, download, use or re-use any material which
is offensive, abusive, indecent, defamatory, obscene or menacing, or in
breach of copyright, confidence, privacy or any other rights;
21. Law/Jurisdiction
This Contract is governed by English Law and you and we submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.>>
Thanks for the suggestion, but since I doubt you'd be able to figure out
how to navigate to it, I feel obligated to put it right in front of you
where you can't miss it. Here's a link you can practice on, though --
it's NTL's TOS statement:
http://www.ntli.net/legals/default.asp?serial=2
Oh, and anyone wanting to be bored shitless need not fiddle around with
links, all they need to do is simply open any one of your messages --
