Alright, here´s finally the F1-75 Historic Edition V.1.0 for you guy´s!

I´m sorry about the delay, but I´ve been very busy catching up on "real life" stuff lately and there´s has not been enough spare time to get everything in order until now.

I´m not going to describe all the new things that I have changed or added, just the most essential stuff as none of you do want to read a(nother) too long Release Thread post made by me. :P

Release Notes F1-75 Historic Edition V.1.0 by JC.Case in association with BlackMagic
************************************************************************************************************

New Content:

This Update contains 5 new cars who was "hidden" in the MAS files which means that there are 60 cars to use in the Championship now. The new cars are: the real Shadow´s #17 DN5, 2 new Williams cars and a C version of the Tyrrell 006 1973 cars. There´s actually a couple of more Williams cars in it´s MAS file too but as I have not been able to get their windscreen transparency in order, those cars are NOT included in this Update.

There´s also also a new Showroom originally made by Luka K. but heavily modified by me.

....
Car Physics:

I´m not gonna get too technical here, just the essentials bits in short.

I´ve changed the Aerodynamic values slightly which makes the cars a little less understeery and twitchy now and a bit more predictably too. That also means that you will be a little bit faster in High Downforce configuration, but a little slower in Low Downforce configuration then before. I would estimate that you´re going to be about 0.5-1.0s off your old lap times set at Oesterreich70 for instance.

These new physics are an evolution of the V.0.99 physics and NOT a revolution, so you WILL be able to use your old setups with this Update too.

The Tires:

The tires are the same as before but I´ve changed their Ideal Temperature to 90c for the Soft and 100c for the Hard option, which actually make quite a huge difference as you won´t overheat your front tires to the same extent as before.

Setup Window:

I´ve added 20 liter´s of Fuel Capacity (to 170 liter) to make it possible to drive a whole Grand Prix distance without pitstops if we/you would want to do that sometime.

You can also use whatever Tire combination you want too now, from ex, Hard A at both Front and Rear, too Soft A at the Front and Hard B at the Rear etc.

I´ve also added the possibility to use 15 wings at the front as well as the rear.

Image Image

The Upgrades:

I have removed the Brake Pressure Upgrade which means that you might have to adjust your Brake Pressure in the Garage, which you can do between 70 to 120 per cent so you will find a Brake Pressure settings that suit´s you.

I have raised the volume a little on the Tire Squeal Upgrades.

KNOWN ISSUES:

There aren´t any to my knowledge.

If the Historic is similar to the league version I cannot see why anyone would have a problem F1-75!

Papy GPL was much more difficult than F1-75 league.
GP2 GP3 GP4 (GP4 was stunning for it's day in other-ways as were all the GP series) were like an arcade game compared to F1-75 and GP79. I believe F1-75 is based on the GP79 mod. GP79 was considered the best ever rFactor mod (it also contained some bad hacks but we will not rake over them again)
GTR2 (or was that GTR1) contained an awful tyre slip angle formula that did not represent how slick tyres work.

Provided the Historic mod is not vastly different from the league version I do not think your criticisms are fair.

First of all RedhotITA, there´s nothing wrong in having opinion´s about things but the way you expressed them (in your 4th post at this Forum) are actually both rude and offensive, and that´s the reason why I edited your post.

These cars are not meant to be easy to drive and they are subsequently not as easy as the good ol´GPL cars to drive. So it take´s some practice to learn how too master them, but if you and your dad put some time into it you really ought to be able too as you say you´ve got 13 years of Simracing driving experience.

Most other drivers here both have the ability to do that and to enjoy these cars too.

There will be an Update, or rather an Addon to the F1-75 Historic Mod too as soon as the F1-75 LE V2 League is finished, I don´t have time too do that before that. But that will be done in the same fashion as with the F1-75 League Edition V.1.0 V2 Addon.

In other words, that Addon will make the cars a bit faster on the straights, but their tires will also have a bit less grip your lap times will be about the same as before.

I suggest that you and your dad try to practice a lot more then you probably have done, and I hope that you by doing so will be able too learn how to master and enjoy these cars too.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I´m glad that you like it. 8-)
...
As Kiro said, you really ought to try the F1-75 LE V2 Addon too, but to be able to do that you´ll need to Download and Install the F1-75 LE V.1.0 first.

Welcome to Varjanta Sim Racing guys, have fun!
