Fantastic job by the mod team!! Just did a few laps around Donington and had an absolute blast.

Ran a few laps at the Nordschleife and it was a real eye opener. There’s a few minor problems that require tweaking, but there’s no doubt, this is a “MUST HAVE” mod.
If you want a F1 mod where you point and squirt the car, then this mod isn’t for you. But if you want to see and drive in a era where real men drove balls-out, then you’ll love it.

Can’t wait until the historical version is released.

Thank you guys for hosting the release… there is a bug for some people.
not sure why, this is a crash with the March 711 and the Williams 711 cars.
the mod team did not have this problem, and hope someone with this problem can help sort out this puzzle…

also… if you have problems with the helmet textures not showing proper..
here is the fix..
UserData/yourname folder/yourname.PLR file… open with notepad.
look in the driver section for Helmet..
make it look like this.. Helmet=”0″
not sure why when you have picked a custom ISI helmet from the Helmet list, it keeps this helmet..
it does not go back to default.

also.. these pics are from 1st gen alpha stage of the mod.. lol.. if you like we can send you newer pics…

This is one of the greatest open wheelers mod…really good job..thanx to
hole team

Don’t know why but I found a bug when driving the Ferrari. The Wheel pushes to the right all the time. Just a little but its annoying. Solutions?

Apart that its a great mod!

try to disable realfeel..if you use it..i had similar issue with another mod
and it works then

Flaux ………. you mean steering wheel, or wheel as in tire.?

some of the steering wheels are funny… i have set the pivot points on all the wheels… with and without arms…. the wheels without arms are perfect.. but on a few teams, when adding the arms, it caused the wheels to be off center a bit..
not sure why all cars didn’t do this… only a few…

We have had so many weird things happen while making this mod…and nobody knows why… maybe a ghost in the machine.. lol… if anyone can sort out the off center wheels with arms… please tell us your solution…

Thank you.

Slim..i think he mean when driving…steering wheel force try to turn itself all the time..and you have to hold it straight to keep car on the road

@Slim: Off Center is the right word. As RoNo said its off center speaking of forces when using realfeel. But the mod features realfeel, doesn’t it?

I had this issue when building some Endu-physics into the ilms f430. But never found out, what this was caused.

Maybe other link, because I have got a limits in a MU.

@Flaux
Could be reverse FFB effects in realfeel. Try the “right Ctrl” + “8″ (on num pad), when on track, to reverse the FFB effects.

Being a lone racer ,I often use swingman veiw. However this Mod the swingman view is not locked in position,so that going round a corner your view goes around to the side of the car,making it impossible to race using this view.

Really sad this is the only thing you are able to say about a great free mod.
Oh and btw – lapping solo in 3rd person view ain’t called “racing”. For that you usually need competition (and cockpit cam – if you’re into sim racing).

OH MY GOD THIS MOD SUCKS:

I was going to have a life today but because of this EXCELLENT mod I am stuck behind my PC

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL INVOLVED!!!

No its not the reversed Feedback-Effect I’m afraid.

Flaux: No its not the reversed Feedback-Effect I’m afraid.

did you try disable realfeel by hitting right ctrl+numpad 2

Not a completely bad mod but these old formulas just don’t feel well for me in rFactor. GPL is still the way to go. Moreover models could be just a bit better.

Ahem, there is something like not-free mod in rFactor? It would be illegal, wouldn’t it?

Edit your .cam file in every car folder. For example, open 71_tyrrell_cam.cam using notepad, under LocalCam=SWINGMAN edit your:

OrientationRate=(1.250000, 2.250000, 0.000000)

Using the above should give you a static (the usual) swingcam.

Yes, please send them to contact at virtualr.net

I´m currently on the road and my MBP isn’t powerful enough to make pretty screens

ok.. I think we have found what the problem may be… I need people that have the CTD post what OS..operating system they are using..
for some reason XP seems to be the problem..

Thank you for the help

Default setup and maximum springs and rollbars are to soft on my opinion, taking as base the 67 mode, which usually had harder springs. Had to check the FF feel weaker, probably is my RF setting or the upgrade used from the vehicle menu.

Is it OK to discuss the mod here or there is some official place for that ?

Regards
