I just downloaded the F1RS demo and I'm having a few problems with it....... 1. How or Can you use a TM GP1 Wheel with it. 2. Does anybody have the readme files in English because I don't speak french. Thanks Greg Scharf

Define it as a T2 with adapter, or as a joystick, or create your own configuration in Game Controllers. Definition as a T2 gives the least free play and most linear steering; calling it a joystick gives a big dead zone but may work better for you. Next run F1RS and go to the Controls sheet of the Configuration. You can select which axis to use for brake, and which for throttle. For the GP1, it will be Joystick A, Y axle [sic]. If you click on the little round button near the bottom, you get sliders where you can set steering sensitivity, which seems to adjust the size of the null zone. BTW, if anyone knows what the "Steering Limit" button does, please let me know! Below is the readme file from the British full release. Pretty scanty. Note that the demo is 3Dfx only, and neither full nor demo versions work properly on Voodoo Rush cards. ------------------------------------------------------------ F1 Racing Simulation Readme.txt This file contains important information that is not in the F1 Racing Simulation manual. CONTENTS: 3D CARDS TECHNICAL PROBLEMS MISCELLANEOUS 3D CARDS F1Racing Simulation is configured for all cards supporting Direct 3D and native support for 3DFX. TECHNICAL PROBLEMS Voodoo Note: F1Racing Simulation requires at least the Glide 2.43 drive. If you haven't got this on your machine, it's possible to install the latest version by running the following program - grtvgr.exe which is located in the 3DFX folder on the F1Racing Simulation CD. Untimely disconnection while in multi-player mode: If you do not have the full installation on your PC, then it may be that your CD ROM drive or hard drive is too slow. MISCELLANEUOS If in the "Regulations" option you have chosen to limit the number of tyres to 28 per week-end, then each tyre is managed independently of one another. Therefore sometimes you may have to use a set of tyres which is made up of tyres that have been used already. As you remove the tyres from your car, the used tyre stock is automatically updated. New sets of tyres are made up depending on the worn state. The cracked or worn out tyres are put with those tyres that are the most used ones. During the race, if one tyre is worn out and needs changing, you have to change the whole set. You are able to adjust the car's handling by altering the sensitivity of the steering and pedals in the cars' configuration pages, once done click on the icon with the icon shape. You can then access the configuration page to change these sensitivities. By touching "0" on the keyboard returns you to the car. Certain applications, like the start bar for Windows may interfere with the menu ------------------------end of readme.txt-------------------- Eagle Woman Remove the spam blocker NOSPAM to email me. http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~alison

Even better: go to thrustmaster's website and download their propanel software. When you install it, it adds definitions for several thrustmaster products (including the GP1) to Win95. Then you just go to the joystick control panel and select the GP1. This works very nicely with the F1RS demo and all other Win95 driving games I've tried. -- The Scripps Research Institute http://www.scripps.edu/~jsmith
