- device, please make sure that it is configured and calibrated
- under your Windows 95 Control Panel.

-
- 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).
-
- 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 '97 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.
-
- 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 '97, but keep your game

- from the game install folder (usually C:\PROGRAM FILES\
- PSYGNOSIS\FORMULA 1 '97) 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 F197.SAV file that is already there.
