Re: F1 Challenge '99-'02

Those changes are meant to be to represent the drastically reduced downforce that made the cars so dangerous in '94. The '95 cars were still suffering of it, and the teams could only fully solve the issue of the lost downforce by 1997. If you want to change that, you must edit every car HDV file in ...

Re: Rider of the Carpathians – Two new stories!

Don't worry, they are appealing ;) But FIA wanted to make end of constant walking in the "grey zone" which was so beloved by the teams in 1994.

Re: F1 Challenge '99-'02

Funny. I found this game being somewhat more realistic than rFactor, and way better than anything else ever released. Especially F1 2010 or 2013, because they are awful... All I can say is to enable the wheel's "jump back to center" option. You can't setup it in the game, you have to do it...

Re: F1 Challenge '99-'02

My guess would be that championship mode can't handle more than 22 cars. Or that you changed something in the setup, which may reset the driver count to the maximum of 21. I always play by races and self made cross tables to keep the score because I can follow driver switches during the season.
