F1 Challenge Folder Size

Alex Hodgkinson · 10 Jan 2005, 18:04 (Ref:1197443)

My F1C install is now up to 8.90GB due to various mods etc. Im wondering how big yours are (

) and wther with my folder being so big it's having an effect on basically the FPS.

pirenzo · 10 Jan 2005, 18:46 (Ref:1197484)

LOL. My entire GPL install is only about 1.5Gb.

Kidzer · 10 Jan 2005, 18:54 (Ref:1197496)

I wouldnt think it would have an effect on FPS unless there was some serious fragmentation, defrag yer hard drive if you seem to be getting a performance hit and then try it and it should have helped

Down F0rce · 10 Jan 2005, 19:06 (Ref:1197503)

Mine is just over 9gig.

Kidzer · 10 Jan 2005, 19:36 (Ref:1197531)

woah prety huge, my first computer only had a 1.5Gb HD.lol

pirenzo · 10 Jan 2005, 20:10 (Ref:1197558)

Hehe, my first PC had 7...

How big is each mod then for F1C?

They must be massive...

Alex Hodgkinson · 10 Jan 2005, 20:53 (Ref:1197585)

Mods are about 600Mb each, virtually new games in their own right!
I'll defrag, good idea thanks Kidzer. I've got my F1C installed all on it's own partition

I'll defrag the lot soon.

My 1st computer was 1 gig hd and my speedy 486 laptop is 500mb..

Alex Hodgkinson · 10 Jan 2005, 20:54 (Ref:1197586)

lol just realised that one mod wouldn't even fit on my laptop!

Silk Cut Jaguar · 10 Jan 2005, 20:58 (Ref:1197591)

I did a fresh install the other week so it's only at 3.8gb at the minute, it was up around the 9 mark before that though.

Es Nes · 10 Jan 2005, 21:16 (Ref:1197609)

f1c - 8.79 GB (9,447,560,338 bytes)

ea sports folder (f1 2k2 and fc1) - 14.1 GB (15,158,458,280 bytes)

pirenzo · 10 Jan 2005, 21:24 (Ref:1197615)

I think when I get F1C I'll have to pass on the mods...

Down F0rce · 10 Jan 2005, 21:53 (Ref:1197644)

But they're the best bit

ASCII Man · 10 Jan 2005, 23:25 (Ref:1197708)

F1C = 7,18 GB (7.718.834.176 bytes)

Containing:

F1C (duh..)
ETCC 2003
DTM 2002
Proto-C
SCC
RH 2003
RH 2004
F1 1995
So 1976 (yuk..)

Jordi · 10 Jan 2005, 23:45 (Ref:1197725)

Mine is just 2,90 Gb... I deleted all and installed only RH03 and 04 because it was a bloody mess before and I did something and half the mods wouldn't work.

No.

They're the only bit........

I'm not at home so I can't check mine, but I also recently did a fresh install. ATM I only have:-

ETCC Revolution
SO76 (but disappointed with that)
GTR 2002
Nissan Micras (terrific fun - much better than the minis)
F1 74/75
Porsche Carrera Cup (considering my well-known dislike of racing 911 derivatives - this one really rocks!)
FIA GT97 (unfortunately just dull old Porsches ATM)

I think that's it, but I've got virtually all of the available mods stored, except the 356s and any of the other F1 mods.......

**Aysedasi** · 11 Jan 2005, 13:30 (Ref:1198088)

My onw big bugbear with some of these mods is the pain in the neck way you have to install tracks in some of them. If only they all had the comprehensive launchers that ETCC Rev and the PCC have. A press of a button and minor amendment to the GDB and you're away. I'm still trying to get the bloody Le Mans track back into a couple of these mods - I did it once, but I just can't seem to get it right now!

spanner · 11 Jan 2005, 13:37 (Ref:1198098)

Its a pity a central track folder couldnt have been planned early on for the mod teams. I'm sure most are duplicated for all mods.

So what the GTR2002 conversion like to drive compared to say SCC? I'm missing driving the turbo porsches. ALMS GT versions arent quite the same!

**Aysedasi** · 11 Jan 2005, 13:43 (Ref:1198110)

I think the GTR mod is quite good actually - although I don't get into the Porsches very often.........

Hobson · 13 Jan 2005, 14:12 (Ref:1199864)

About 3 gig at the moment, just got the ETCC, BTCC and F1C on it.

Might dump ETCC and BTCC for RH2004 though.

**Aysedasi** · 13 Jan 2005, 19:56 (Ref:1200166)

3.27 gig.

But my download storage folder for the mods is another 4 gig. I'll be burning those to DVD soon to free up the space.

Alex Hodgkinson · 15 Jan 2005, 13:10 (Ref:1201539)

aaah just exceeded 10Gb!! Not really sure how though.. I only installed 2004RH updates :S

My downloads folder is 5gb - of which one part contains every single track available for f1c...

My gpl install is 1.4gb

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2005, 13:46 (Ref:1201553)

I don't bother with any modern-day F1 mods....... Nearest I get is the TurboMod.

Alex Hodgkinson · 15 Jan 2005, 17:31 (Ref:1201619)

Downloading and installing is one thing, playing is another, so it's rather quite pointless me having them, however at least I've got them.

I hate the narrow track/grooved tyre cars eugh they make me cringe how you can't throw them around AT ALL. I'm totally pathetic at driving and really struggle against anyone online.
I really enjoy the 1994, 1995 and 1997 cars though, they're very good fun in my opinion and much more like real racing machines.

The turbo mod is good but just bit too grippy (doing 1:45's at spa, hmmm...)

Just brought RD2 in town today, £5, we'll see...

pirenzo · 14 May 2005, 18:07 (Ref:1300901)

It looks like my F1C install will be permanently 0 bytes for a long while. I just looked on Amazon for a copy of it, and they were only selling used, from £43

marcel82 · 14 May 2005, 18:22 (Ref:1300912)

Mine is now 6.2 gigs, but I'm gonna get WGTS this week, and if I don't like it, it will drop down to 0 bytes too. I'm now pre-occupied with GTR, and need the HD-space
