Formula 1 Notes

Please make sure that you have DirectX fully 
installed along with any additional drivers 
you may require (see note below).

When running the game it is recommended that 
no other windows programs or tasks are running.

If you have a joystick or a steering wheel please 
make sure that it is configured and calibrated 
under your Windows 95 Control Panel.

Installing DirectX 3

To install DirectX select Run from the start menu
and enter X:\redist\directx\dxsetup.exe.
Where X is the drive letter of your CD drive.
Please reinstall the graphics drivers for your 
3D card AFTER installing DirectX.
 
3Dfx Owners

If you have an Orchid Righteous 3D Or Diamond 
Monster3D 3D Accelerator then please ensure that 
along with Direct X, you also have the 
latest version of Glide (http://www.3dfx.com)

Rendition Verite Owners

If you have a Rendition Verite based card (such as
the Creative 3D Blaster PCI) then please install 
the display drivers found in the RRedline directory 
of this CD. 
n.b. This version will not work with the 3D Blaster
drivers.
Please note that in some cases the display sttings maybe
displayed too dark.  In this case you will need to adjust
your cards 'Gamma Correction' setting.
This can be altered in the Display Properties 
section of the Windows 95 Control Panel.

Please note that the RRedline version of F1 has a dynamic 
resolution setting (screen size setting) that can be 
found in the In-Game Options menu of the game. 
Simply press escape whilst playing to modify the 
setting.

640 x 480
512 x 384
320 x 240
Please note the RETURN key toggles between the various 
resolutions.

We have encountered stability problems with running
this version on some Novell networks. Typical problems
are the game not starting correctly.  To fix this 
problem do not log into your network whilst playing F1.


Permedia Owners

Please make sure that you have the latest D3D drivers
installed for your card. 
Please ensure the following settings in the display 
properties for the Permedia :-

Texture Compression 	- Never Patch
8Bit RGB Textures 	- Off
True Color Textures 	- Off
Don't Force CopyMode 	- On
No VBlank Wait 		- Off
Filter Stretching 	- Off
Disable Direct3D HAL 	- Off
Rectangular Allocator	- Off 
Off Screen Bitmaps	- Off 
DMA Buffers 		- 2
DMA Buffer Size		- 64K

n.b. If you experience any sound problems with this 
version of F1 and your soundcard, this is probably 
down to a DMA bus-mastering conflict, due to your PC's
motherboard and the current versions of your Permedia
card drivers.  Hopefully 3DLabs will fix this 
problem in the near future.

Matrox Mystique Owners

Please ensure that you have a 4mb card & the latest 
D3D drivers for your card before running the game.
