I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Thanks, I always like how you compile mods.

I really need to finish off this Tyrrell of mine

Do I have to download the whole mod again?

If you want to fix the rimbolt, yes.
But know that only that changes.

Thanks

thank you for updating steering wheel!

Hi,

I've discovered a weird problem and hopefully someone can help me.
I play this mod in combination with the 1993 trackpack. I'm using GPxPatch 1.52.
I'm playing at semi pro difficulty. In Monaco I was pretty competitive. I won the race with McLaren.
Then I startet a GP of Canada. Now I'm almost 3 seconds off the pace. I changed setup but no real performance rise.
First I had a bad topseed about 20 km/h slower with "old behavior" selected at GPxPatch. Then I changed to "power and grip". Now I'm "only" 10 km/h slower that a Williams.
"Power and grip" seems to be the best setting to have a "good" topspeed.
But I'm still 3 seconds off the pace. Now it seems AI is much faster in corners.
Is this a problem with the GPxPatch? Can't believe that this is a problem caused by the mod or the trackpack.
MagicData of 1993 Montreal seems also OK. Same values for Player and AI.

Hello,
so, I did a quick test. It seems to me that you are right.
I tried a quick race on Pro difficulty and in fact there is no grip and not even top speed.
In the performance file it seems all right. The most likely thing is that there is something strange in MagicData, or in the .dat file of the track.
I can only advise you to try another Montreal track, or even the original one. Just remember to always try it as Track7.
I don't think I can do more, I'm sorry.

First, thanks for the mod Schumi24. Always nicely done and your efforts are very much appreciated.

@ Locke123

For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents.

Looks to me like the 93 trackpack MD for Montreal is actually ported straight over from 2001 more or less and it would definitely benefit from some adjustment.

If laptime value in the MD is set to the 2001 value (75780) - mine was - it should be set to 78987 for 1993.

That's >3.2s difference straight away. It won't resolve your problem, but it's the first thing you should do.

Next, lack of top speed can be rectified by lowering the cc power values in the MD. For 10kph player increase I'd decrease all CC power values by 5 and see how it goes. Repeat this process until you get it right.

Note: Assuming you are driving Senna's car, bear in mind that he probably has a fairly high variance value in the PF. (I use my own PFs so I can't check, but the source data suggests that his variance would be higher than average if it's calculated properly). Also, looking at the 93 real world data, 3rd on the grid Senna SHOULD be about 2s slower than Hill and 3s slower than Prost in qualifying, which is also quite a lot really, so bear that in mind.

I'd say the CC cars are too fast in corners because the CC grip value looks too high (about 20-30 too high as a guess, although I'd probably adjust the track grip a bit first) - but worry about the grip after the other stuff. For now, if you want, do what I said above and let me know how it goes.

Great mod! However, I have a problem with сars. They are all white with no texture. How can this be fixed?

Try checking f1graphics.cfg. You can do this with any text editor.
Check above all that the items "Increase texture quality" and "Full 32 bit textures" are set to 1.

Thanks to MShumi24 it helped! I noticed one more thing, when one of the bots flies off the track to the side of the road, without any damage, then he cannot go back to the track. Stands still and turns the gas. What could it be and how to fix it so that the bot would return to the track?

Glad to have been of help!

Regarding the bots, I think it depends on the CPU of the game doing this.

Tell me what the numbers in the "Performance" folder mean?
For example:

Name=williams,renault
Performance=714,744,935
First Driver=0,damon hill,16281,512,15642,512
Second Driver=2,david coulthard,15625,512,14885,512

I don't know much about performance files, sorry.
Maybe there is someone else around here who can help you.

Thank you so much. It helped.
