Just install and update the exe to v1.02, set compatibility and install gpx. It should work.

Use your native W8 resolution in game if the option is available.

Force other resolution via the f1graphics.cfg file. eg;

1 ; f1graphics.cfg controls all settings (default 0)
1920 ; [RELEASE] Game 3D Horizontal Resolution
1080 ; [RELEASE] Game 3D Vertical Resolution
1 ; [RELEASE] Enable 32bit mode if available NB. If Windowed then is forced to desktop format
1 ; [RELEASE] Enable hardware T&L if available
0 ; [RELEASE] Run in a window
0 ; [RELEASE] Number of multisamples if available (0-16 :: 0 => off, 1 unused)
0 ; [RELEASE] Force use of reference rasterizer
0 ; [RELEASE] Vsync (0=>off, or every nth frame) v2
73 ; [RELEASE] AutoPerformance (Automatic Performance Setting)
0 ; [RELEASE] TestedPerformanceLow (Tested Performance Setting)
0 ; [RELEASE] TestedPerformanceHigh (Tested Performance Setting)
1920 ; [DEBUG] Game 3D Horizontal Resolution
1080 ; [DEBUG] Game 3D Vertical Resolution
1 ; [DEBUG] Enable 32bit mode if available NB. If Windowed then is forced to desktop format
1 ; [DEBUG] Enable hardware T&L if available

My files has a cfg for download.

The key could be insert or page up or home. One of those might do it. There might be something in the GP4 menu on cockpit view, can't remember. Download the manual in pdf format from my files if you don't have one. Mark your topic [fixed]. :-)
