- Formula One Challenge disk operation instructions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Formula One Challenge uses the standard AMOS file requester for disk
- operations so if you are used to AMOS or AMOS programs then you should have
- no problems with the rather quirky AMOS file requester.
-
- Clicking the right mouse button while the disk is not being accessed will
- display a number of device names (ie C: , Formula-One-Challenge: , L: etc.)
- clicking on one of these device names with the left button will give you a
- directory of that device.
-
- Saving
- ~~~~~~
-
- All F1C (Abbreviation for `Formula One Challenge`) saved games are saved with
- a .FO extension after the file name , this is so you can easily find your
- F1C saved games on any disk. If you forget to add this youself then it will
- automatically be added.
-
- Do not save on the original F1C disk , but on any formatted disk that does
- not contain important data. It would be a good idea if before you start
- playing F1C you format a blank disk and then save all of your F1C games onto
- this disk.
- (For instructions on how to format a disk see your Introduction to the Amiga
- manual supplied with your computer.)
-
- ** After saving a F1C game , replace the original F1C disk in DF0: otherwise
- you may encounter problems at a later stage.
-
- Here is a detailed list of how to save your postion in F1C.
-
-
- 1) Format a disk for your saved games using Cli/Shell , Workbench or
- a formatting utility (See your AmigaDos manual for more details).
-
- 2) Play F1C until you wish to save , click on Load/Save off menu , click
- on save and wait for a full list of the original F1C disk to be
- displayed and for the disk drive to stop.
-
- 3) Swap disks if necessary and insert your blank (newly formatted) disk.
- Wait a couple of seconds while the disk is checked by the computer.
-
- 4) Click the RIGHT mouse button to display a list of devices (ie. C: , DEVS:
- , Libs: , Formula-One-Challenge:. One of the things in the list should
- be the name of your blank disk ie. (Empty: , Blank: or whatever you
- called the disk when you formatted it.)
-
- 5) Click the LEFT mouse button on the name of your blank disk and wait
- a couple of seconds for a list of the files on the disk to be displayed
- (will probably be empty , but may contain something called TRASHCAN).
-
- 6) Click on Game1.FO at the bottom of the requester with the left mouse
- button and enter a name for your saved game. Then click left button
- on O.K and your game will be saved to the blank disk.
-
- 7) You will be returned to the main menu when the game has saved.
-
- 8) When the disk drive light goes out , swap disks if necessary and
- replace the Original F1C disk.
-
-
-
- Loading
- ~~~~~~~
-
- You should load all saved games from a disk other than your original F1C disk
- and remember that all F1C games have a `.FO` extension to the name so they
- are easily indentifable.
-
- ** Loading is similar to Saving , so please read the detailed saving
- instructions above.
-
- ** After loading a F1C game , replace the original F1C disk in DF0: otherwise
- you may encounter problems at a later stage.
