The cars wheels are on the ground now.

Thank you mate!

I would really be pleased if I get some feedback and especially about the AI´s behavior as I´ve not been able to do enough testing of them on my own since my shifter broke down the other day.

Thank you!

I´ve got the same problem when I try to drive Tin Tops, but the other way around so to speak. Big, lumpy and unresponsive cars with "no" brakes and who doesn´t want to turn..

- Woohaa.. no brakes!? And straight of the circuit in T1.
...
You´ll get used to them pretty soon, but you´ll have to be a bit careful with the throttle on the first laps on cold tires. They are quite "civilized" on warm tires though and you can push really hard with these cars on warm tires once you´ve got used to them, Nabaza

From the Readme:

"The cars are very nice to drive now, but they are not meant to be easy to drive though (it´s Formula 1 cars ffs). This is not "full throttle racing" so to speak, and you´ll have to manipulate the throttle true the corners using fine tuned throttle application on the limit.

And as always in rF, you´ll have to be a bit careful on the first laps on cold tires too."

-Woohaa, those pictures really roxx, Tornado!
Thanks for adding them, most appreciated!
------
I´ve noticed that I had made a slight mistake when I made a new helmet for John Watson #18 Surtees when I was testing some of the updates that continues to be made.

The helmet was wrong positioned and on top of that. He got decapitated when I drove out of the garage, or rather his head blew right up in the air!

-Ouch, that must have hurt, I though while laughing so I almost fell out of my cheer.

Then I realized that I had to fix that as soon as possible. And I´ve got the helmet in it´s right position straight away, but he still got decapitated. -Wth..?!

But Black Magic came to my rescue once again and told me how to cure that.
I had missed to set the helmets pivot points right.

Thanks mate!

Some updates on the continuing developments of the two F1-75 mods




And a couple of pics that illustrates that too.
-----------
Graphics: (Historic & LE)

* New Gauges in the McLaren M23´s

* New gauges needles in all cars

* New dashboards with working gauges for the Tyrrell´s T006 and the P34

* All cars have been lowered a wee bit graphically

* Ronnie Peterson´s helmet position corrected

* 9 out of 15 teams have corrected mirrors now thanks to Black Magic
----------
Physics:

* New more "straight forward" gearing in all cars (Historic)

* The Ferrari has gotten 1-2 kph higher top speed by reducing it´s drag (Historic)

* Default Steering Lock has been set to 18 degrees (Historic & LE)

* Default Brake Bias has been adjusted to 57.5 per cent (%) on the front (Historic & LE)

* Brake Pressure adjustment has been set to 80 - 120 per cent (%) In-Game, (Historic & LE)

* Default fuel loads have been lowered to11.9 gallon. ex 20-23 laps @ Kya depending on car (Historic & LE)

* Default Tires pressures has been lowered a bit to let the tires contact patch to heat up more evenly. (Historic & LE)

* Slightly adjusted Start temperature on the Tires for better handling on the first laps (Historic & LE)
...
I´ve also added some stuff to the Upgrades, tire squeal volume options for instance.

We´re closing in on a proper V.1.0 release, but I´ve got a few things more to get in order before that can be made. But I will release a V.0.99 version (of both mods) before that if any of the F1-75 mods are to be used in a League here @ Calluster.

Edit: I changed the first sentence in this post to avoid further confusion.

Well mate, you´ll find it here @ Calluster, but not quite yet as I said in the previous post.

I was just giving you some information about the latest development as I said that I would continue to do. I could of course release every Update to the mod(s) as soon as they where finished, but that would mean that everyone that wanted to join a F1-75 race would have to find and install the latest Update every time to avoid mismatches.

Which wouldn´t be a problem if I could release them in conjunction with a race like Luka sometimes do for instance, and at the same time update the Download Section with that release, but I can´t do that right now as I don´t have those privileges.

So I sort of make a bunch of them and release them all together instead when I feel that they are good enough and that they will enhance the mod(s) enough too to justify a new release.
....
These Updates are all good enough to be released, but for the reasons I mention above and in my last post too where I said that there still some more stuff that needs to be attended too before I can do a proper V.1.0 release, it will take some time (and a lot of work too) before I can do that.

That said, I will release what I´ve done at this stage if any of the two F1-75 mods are going to be used in a League here @ Calluster, because that would justify a V.0.99 release. For sure, as Filippe Massa would have said.

Stupid me. I will my head and then I will read everything ten times before I ask a new question.
You are the man to think about people like me who is a noob in computers and should there be a lot of updates there should be a mess. At least for me. Thanks again and thanks for a really nice mod. I love it.
