PO of 17!!!!! at monaco
Posted by 97kirkc
I am not totally sure how but I have managed to get a PO of 17 round the streets of monaco.
Obviously this is not true all the way round the circuit but that is the lowest it has got and doesnt get any high than around 70-85.
I was beta testing some stuff with the 95 mod and couldnt get a the PO low enough without straiiiinnnnning. So I decided to return to 2003 year and restored all the files.
When I went back into the game I noticed that not only everything was back to normal obviously but there was no advanced lighting or enviromental mapping of any kind.
On the orginal cars I remembered this looked crap but with all the new cars from the great designers, it didnt look so bad. So I exited went into the graphics option made sure the Frame rate was 26 and exited the game to check some settings in the F1 graphics.cfg file. I decided to set the games resolution to 800 by 600 to avoid the straining effect with all the buildings around monte carlo and went straight into practice.
Before I set off I decided to press the O button to see what the PO was like and to my astonishment it was 17!!!
I couldn't believe it. When I went round the circuit even with all the buildings it didnt go above 85!!!
This was fantastic but I am not sure if it is my PC I have done something by accident or something like that. Could someone please copy the f1graphics.cfg file below and test it to see what they get round monaco in the same situation.
Thanks : )

This was fantastic but I am not sure if it is my PC I have done something by accident or something like that. Could someone please copy the f1graphics.cfg file below and test it to see what they get round monaco in the same situation.
Thanks : )

17% because it was paused so it didnt have to calculate gfx (it didnt need to make a new scene) or sound. also, the ai didnt need doing or physics, or lights, or .....
i didnt pause the game when checking the PO and it was still low goign round the track at full speed
press the P button to see what the PO was like and to my astonishment it was 17!!!
17% because it was paused
i guess you mean O. the po doesnt show while its paused does it?
i tried it and got about 50po whcih is pretty good for me, but the speed of the game was amazing. took about 4 attempts to get round turn 1. not used to getting there so quickly
but in cockpit view it was very dark, and one car had a green tint.
what does the 1 mean in this line?
1 ; f1graphics.cfg controls all settings (default 0)
i guess setting it to 0 means the f1graphics.cfg has no bearing on the game.

one satisfied customer. Yes I did mean the 'O' button sorry Jon i will correct the post ASAP
kk 
its prob coz everything is low detail then
its prob coz everything is low detail then
Try it and see

apart from not being used to the speed, no mirrors, 800x600 - maybe i can work on it.
but that must've been the "sensation of speed" everyone talks about!??!

Yep, especially going round the blind swimming poll section at monaco. With the speed you get you have to concetrate so hard not to go into the barrier
hehe, im getting 3fps in games atm i need to get some drivers (windows default = bad )
