F1 1990 1.0 – Released

Team SRM has released their F1 1990 mod for rFactor, bringing the cars and tracks of the 1990 Formula One season to the simulation.

The release includes 18 teams from the 1990 season, from highly popular teams like Mclaren & Ferrari to smaller and quirkier efforts such as Coloni and Life. Also included is a track pack with 16 tracks from the 1990 season, including matching adboards and TV cameras as well as a new menu style.

You can find the cars and the trackpack available for download below, a user guide with recommended rule and controller settings is also available.

Important: Both the carpack and the user guide are only available in Italian right now. An English version is coming up later and links will be included once available.

1990 was a rather exciting year in F1 as Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost went head to head for the title. The championship bid was decided at Suzuka, following a controversial incident on the very first lap.

    thanks

    will test this gem as soon as possible

  • intelpower

    just tested the mod

    it’s very good but ther eis one major issue IMO.  AI is way TOO fast

  • Vignutee

    >>intelpower
    thats not probably mods issue :D

    i am still downloading…but i read that there is some problems with mod working? so is it? :)

  • intelpower

    no it’s a mod issue

    if you leave the same AI streng as other mods such as F1 1985, F1 1991 , F1 1988  , you see that the AI is way too fast in this one

  • Vignutee

    well it is a great mod, i loved it

  • kalle

    Most of the tracks look like conversions, especially Adelaide. Are the permissions in order or is this another “illegal” trackpack?

  • Matt

    Big big issue for me. My tracklist is complete empty. when i try load a track rf is going down with a gmotor error. bad luck for me.

  • svizzy

    same here with both versions italian and english

  • intelpower

    you must add a  ” * ” in the rfm file

  • Xero

    Very good mod, they did a great job! Just a little bit disappointed because it missed a lot of 90′s teams like Minardi, Ligier, Onyx, Eurobrun….

  • svizzy

    installed the track pack now it works but only 1990 tracks

  • Ciufi

    HI, :-D
    Missing cars (Dallara, Minardi, Osella, Ligier, Larrousse, Onyx) will be released after September !!!
    The mod only works with the original trackpack…
    @KALLE: Read the credits at the end of the game.. ;)

    Hello,
    if I choose “SRM 1990 MOD 1.0″ in the game, I get an CTD…what`s wrong/the problem!?

  • intelpower

    can you guys upgrade the looks off the car to make them look more like F1 1988 by carerra ?

  • Ciufi

    Read what I wrote under …. >:o

  • Matt

    have found it. thanks

  • F1Racer

    Just downloading now…  
    I’m kinda put off by some of the comments that have been made here.  Firstly I dunno why you would provide a (hopefully authorised) track pack and then limit the mod so it can only use those tracks.  It’s very obvious to me that these kind of limitations don’t sit too well with sim-racers who want the freedom to race anywhere they want.
    I will be adjusting my rfm file to defeat this.  
     
    Waiting until the end of Sept for the complete field isn’t ideal either, but while there are six missing teams, I guess we at least get to play this mod until then,  
     
    Are the AI only overly fast on the 1990 tracks or everywhere ?   If it’s only the 1990 tracks then maybe the AIW have been optimised.  
     
    One of my favourite F1 seasons to drive, so regardless of the above points, I am looking fwd to enjoying this mod.  
     
    Thanks SRM.

  • Alp

    I had a test session with some AIs at 1990 Paul Ricard and was 2-3 seconds faster than the AI…

    But my AI strength value was set at 93%, so at 100% I think I would have a fairly fast AI.

    Thanks to team SRM, the mod feels brilliant so far

  • rich1701

    “The mod only works with the original trackpack…” Ludicrous just Ludicrous  

  • rich1701

    Brilliant mod, Really disappointed with the sounds though 

  • JGoenR

    Nice mod. Too bad you couldn’t release all teams at once. Oh well, looks like I’ll have to wait until September. Thanks for the track pack, but shame I can’t drive cars on other tracks. :( Also some tracks have incorrect layout, but it’s better than nothing.

  • RichardC

    Hopefully they will update the sounds and allow to race the cars on other tracks. I am a little disappointed in the mod, I’ve been watching this closely but the sounds ruin it for me. I will be improving them as much as I can.

    The car files need editing as well, so you actually have to lift the throttle when changing gear in those cars with manual gearboxes (which is most of them)

  • Novum

    Changein the rfm file

    Track Filter = F1_1990
    to
    Track Filter = *

    And you can drive on your favorite tracks also ;)

  • rich1701

    I’ve been playing it for a bit now and the cars definitely have too much grip for their time. I can take the peraltada at Mexico flat when in reality it was a daunting corner which caused Senna to roll his car in the gravel because he tried to take it in 6th gear, and that was in 1991! Please fix the physics, the cars need much less downforce and mechanical grip. 

  • nandesz

    in the RM_1990.rfm

    Track Filter =*

    problem solved

  • Ciufi

    The SRM team decided that the 16 circuits of Trackpack were the same in which have raced really these cars in ’90 year (game on-line) …and not in other circuits (example: MiniVille Forest :-P ).
    In the off-line game, you can do what you want … :)

  • Chris Karsten

    Is this a league mod with the same physics for al cars or do al thee cars have individual physics?

  • Ciufi

    All cars have different physics as in reality

  • Hendrix27x

    Only real issue I’m having is that the brakes dont feel right.  At 100% brake pressure I cant lock up the front wheels.

  • Ryan Marc Joseph Callan

    Yet this is a ‘Historic’ version more suited to offline play than online – it just doesn’t make sense sorry.

    The models are superb, the handling is mediocre and the sounds need a lot of improvement.

    The trackpack, however, is brilliant – the guys who worked on that need a medal – this is the real stand-out from the mod IMO.

  • David Watson

    Just wondering if SRM are going to add the Subaru Flat 12 engine in the upgrade options of the Coloni

  • F1Racer

    oh come on, you just wanted to show us how knowledgable you are :)    

  • David Watson

    Damn i’ve been found out :-D I own a copy of the official FIA Formula One 1990 season review book thats how i know about the subaru flat 12 lol

  • Vince Klortho

    I am VERY glad to hear that !  I am so sick of “league” physics they make we want to throw up.  If I wanted an IROC mod I would either download one or make one.  Otherwise, so-called “league” physics in a racing simulation are an oxymoron.

  • F1Racer

    Sounds like a cool book, I`ll bet it’s a good read.

  • F1lover

    Hey F1Racer see me on msn mate!

  • Ciufi

    If you can do… In addition to the engine “Subaru” it takes even the Coloni first version…

  • angelixx

    sound no perfect

  • David Watson

    It’s a great book, i’ve got all the information from the season from drivers to teams to laptimes. I found out that Gary Brabham drove for life before Bruno Giacomelli and that the life was only 2 to 3 seconds a lap faster than a formula 3000 car.

  • Mattias

    Very nice mod this. Sounds are a but flat but with some setup tweaks it´s really nice to drive I´d say. Just change the track filter value to * to get all your normal tracks.

  • Ciufi

    Unfortunately if you use the mod with the rfm edited gives you mismatch in the online game …

  • mario

    why don’t you introduce the gated shift?

  • Dale

    Just continue tweaking the physics and sound and perhaps a few graphical tweaks and this will be a top notch mod.
