yup!




Formula One is not dead... It's just a bit tired =D But don't worry, 2005 will be great

Ok, my cars are ready, Arexons. Is just that my test driver is trying them out to see if there's something missing.

Hello,

Here's the description of the perf pack (found in the gp3form.txt)

It will be uploaded separatedly too, so you won't need to download the mod to get this perf pack.

I understand Arexon's choices for drivers and performances and I agree with any modifications, since they are clearly noticied to me

Today I had a extra free time and ran other 100% race, at Hockenheim.
1 - M Schumacher, the big chin
2 - Me, + 10 s
3 - Barricas, + 12s
4 - Ice Kiwi, + 27 s
5 - Ralf, the homo, + 34 s
6 - Montoya, the spin man, + 55 s
7 - Jenson "I just need Michelin tyres" Button, + 1 lap
8 - Cristiano "foi bala!" da Matta, 1 + lap

After my second pit stop I was very close to the big chin, less than 1 second, but it was very hard to overtake him. So in the final laps I just gave up 'cos I was afraid to make a mistake...

Now I'm gonna work in Hungaroring 2003.

See ya

So, how long until finished?

I finished Hungaroring today (md, setups, tests, etc)
3 tracks remaining: Indianapolis, Suzuka and Spa.

What are you going to modify, exactly?

See ya

What do you mean with that?

As you read above, the perf pack doesn't iclude just md files. Icludes also a performance file, physics and setups.

I just would like to know what exactly are you going to modify. Driver names? Performance values?

See ya

Well, i think i'd use th Sato values and move Pizzonia and JV to the 11th team

Did you say that you was including all of the '03 tracks, too?

Anyway, I'm looking farward to this. Keep up the good work.

Problably no new monaco and france, but many other things :D

So we have a problem here.
You can't simply "move" a driver and his performance because there's the BHP difference.
Also, how to calculate Sato's performance and range if he only raced once?

If you are really gonna make these modifications, I believe it's better if you use only the md's, physics and setups.
It'll be better if you use your own performance file with your ideas, don't you agree?

See ya

I think, that it would be great to see Villeneuve and Sato fighting on race, but, isn't it too unrealistic?

I mean, a BAR fighting with a "similar" to Minardi?

Although it could be possible...

Well, Supersonic, you're editing the performances for each race, right? so, when you edit the Suzuka values, i use them . Also, when you finish it send to the_arexons@hotmail.com instead of arexonsf1@bol.com.br. Today i'll post more screenies guys!

That's Pizzonia driving the new Formula1.com car! More screenies soon....

Nice car!

What's the team name?



-----------------------------------------------------

Does it answer your question? :P




Formula One is not dead... It's just a bit tired =D But don't worry, 2005 will be great

And this is new pit-jack dude.

No, Arexons. There's only a generic performance file to be used in all races. That's why I choose the most regular drivers.
I do hate specific performance files I can easily make them, but that's very boring to play a 100% race when you already know the final results

Anyway, the work is finished and I uploaded it exactly 16 hours ago.
I'm gonna sent it to you right now (to the e-mail of your profile).

See ya

I agree with Supersonic about perf files!!!!



Thanks GP3Hotlaps
