Cheats in f1challenge 99-02
I have been playing this game for years and I think I am qyuite fast at some
tracks. How can people cheat in this game? If I am in a Ferrari with miniumum wing and another Ferrari can be 4 seconds behind me and then suddenly go by like I am stopped when in actual fact I am doing 200mph. The same cars SHOULD have similar performance. How do people hack the game to increase their performance? |

The fact that F1C is easily moddable (i.e. it's quite easy for users to create additional/different cars and tracks), also means it's quite easy to change the performance values of the original cars. Unfortunately, servers only indicate there's a difference to the server configuration instead of locking out drivers whose installations differ (which, on an other level, is good as different language versions, the no-CD patch and custom paintjobs have also been known to generate this error). The long and short of it, for any online racing game, is: don't race against people you can't trust to voluntarily keep a level playing field with you. Jan. =--- |

But that, I think, is limited to making sure everyone has the same car type...i.e. F1 cars or Touring cars. There are usually lots of error messages online when you get people using hacked cars. But also you get these messages when you have two different versions of the no-cd file. There was an online service that had extensive cheat protection, I forget the name, but it went offline a couple of years ago. As far as speed goes...just subtracting some weight from your car through text file editing can drastically affect straight line speed. Finally, speaking as somebody who has been passed alot, your speed on the straight all depends on how you exited the corner. If the blazingingly fast guy just really did well on a corner, he really could fly by. dave henrie > > |
