Car mechanical problems in F1C

Is there any way to ramp up the likelihood of mechanical failures in the game on AI cars. I am finding that the races seem to only have 3-4 dropouts compared to the real races where often only 11-12 cars finish. I know this isnt all to do with mechanical failures often spins etc play a part but it still seems to be set unrealistically low. Anyone found out anything about how the tracks/weather affect mechincal failures in the game? Also are there any websites or documents out there describing exactly what all these car settings do. Its too basic in the manual. I mean surely there must be a tutorial or something to show how to set a car up from scratch on a website is there?

Set mechanical difficulties to x2 or x3 to get more failures. "Nats" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bekgo1$8bs$[email hidden]... > Is there any way to ramp up the likelihood of mechanical failures in the > game on AI cars. I am finding that the races seem to only have 3-4dropouts

Go here http://www.teamspeedsims.com/zero1ferrarifan/misc02.htm 3/4 of the way down is RacerAlex's car setup guide. It's for F1 2002, and I'm not sure how much is changed and won't apply for F1C.

I cant remember seeing this setting anywhere in the game. Where is it? -- Nigel 'Nats' Stutt [email hidden] "Its life, Jim, but not as we know it." Remove NOSPAM to respond please

Well in my game you can only change mechanical failures to either none, normal, timescaled or season so I dont know what game you have!! -- Nigel 'Nats' Stutt [email hidden] "Its life, Jim, but not as we know it."
