Formula 1 Championship Edition for Windows 95
---------------------------------------------
Notes
=====
When running the game it is recommended that no other
Windows programs or tasks are running.
If you have a joystick, steering wheel or other controller
device, please make sure that it is configured and calibrated
under your Windows 95 Control Panel. Joysticks should have
at least four buttons for full compatibility.
The Formula 1 CE CD must be inserted in your CD drive in
order to play the game in Single Player mode. However, you
may play in Network mode as normal without a CD being present.
3D Accelerator Cards
====================
3Dfx Voodoo Owners
------------------
Please ensure that, along with DirectX, you also have the
latest version of Glide installed, which can be obtained from
the 3Dfx web site (http://www.3dfx.com).
Riva 128 Owners
---------------
To prevent graphical corruption in the game, please make sure that
automatic mip map generation is turned off. To do this, open Display
Properties from the Control Panel, and click on the Riva 128 tab.
Set automatic mip map level to 0 (off).
Other D3D Compatible Card Owners
--------------------------------
DirectX 5 will automatically be installed on your machine if
it is needed. Please make sure that you also have the latest
version of your card's D3D drivers installed.
NB. If you experience any problems with this version of
Formula 1 CE and your sound card, this is probably due to a DMA
bus-mastering conflict caused by some motherboard and driver
combinations.
Multiplayer Networking
======================
Set up your network game as detailed in the manual. In order to
run at the optimum speed you should use your fastest machine as
the host of the session, and limit the other traffic on your
network to a minimum. Up to 8 player sessions are possible
depending upon LAN speed and host server specification. It is
not possible to run a network game using a mixture of D3D and
Glide versions of the game.
Note for Voodoo 2 3DFx owners: you may also experience some
problems when running a network game which mixes Voodoo 1 and
Voodoo 2 cards.
As there is no pause menu in network mode, the selection of
controller device (keyboard / digital controller / analogue
controller) can be made from the options menu in the frontend
accessed by pressing the TAB key.
Tear off strips are not available in a Grand Prix network game.
Draw distance can be changed in-game for slower machines by
pressing the F5 key (See note below).
Saved Games
===========
If you want to uninstall Formula 1 CE, but keep your game
saves for future use, you must first copy the file F1_CE.SAV
from the game install folder (usually C:\PROGRAM FILES\
PSYGNOSIS\FORMULA 1 CE) to a different folder on your hard
disk, or to a floppy disk. When you re-install the game you
must then copy the same file back into the install folder,
overwriting the F1_CE.SAV file that is already there.
Digital Edge Steering Wheel
===========================
The buttons on your wheel correspond to the following actions:
Yellow button - Reverse (also removes Tear Off)
Red button - Rear View
Right paddle - Gear Shift Up
Left paddle - Gear Shift Down
Extra keys
==========
Extra game keys not documented in the manual:
F5 - Changes the draw distance.
(Choose a lower draw distance if you have a
slower machine)
F6 - Toggle player name display on/off in network game.
F11 - Game screen shot key (3Dfx version only)
(dumps a screenshot image named IMAGE000.TGA,
IMAGE001.TGA etc. into the game directory, up to
a maximum of 8 screenshots)
