Re: F1 Challenge '99-'02

Another thing: Can someone tell me how to setup the textures in Zmodeler so they would reflect the environment? If I mod any car, the body texture loses its reflection ability, the car becomes matte. The shadows are still visible on it but there are no reflections.

It depends on what reliabilty rules you use I think. If oyu use time scaled cars tend to stop more often. At least that's how it seems.

By 2014, drivers are degraded into one of the many variables of the car. They can only determine which car of the team will finish ahead of the another but they can't make a real difference any more (like Alonso did many times in the past, with his mediocre Ferrari).

Re: F1 Challenge '99-'02

If you're suffering from oversteer you can
- Increase the rear wing
- Decrease the lower anti-roll bars
- Increase the differential lock.
You can regain some of the oversteer you lost with setting the front bump/rebound dampeners lower and the backs higher.
