GRAND PRIX 2020: The F1 2020 mod
Posted by Carl_gpgames
New update at P1 (v0.95)
Installation:
Delete your exisiting F1 2020 mod and install both F1 2020.cuh and F1 2020_part2.cmu. The new file F1 2020_part3.cmu is optional. It contains all cars in std resolution.
Changes:
- Updated performance files up to Yas Marina
- Some minor fixes
- Added the option to change the number of mipmaps in the mod:
I'm not an expert, but in my case (probably due to a high-res screen) setting mipmaps to 0 improved my image quality and also solved the issue where some textures were flickering from time to time. I'm not sure it helps for you, but i think it's worth giving it a try.
i set that to 0 on purpose because in combination with some ReShade effects, the loading bar is very annoying. But as you said, you can either enable it in gpxset.ini or in the GpxPatch Menu:
and to those who have some free time over the holidays, there are still things open to contribute to the mod:
☐ F1 2020 engine sounds: open
☐ F1 2020 external steering wheels: open
☐ F1 2020 internal steering wheels: open
☐ Fittipaldi helmet texture: open
☐ Aitken helmet texture: open

What is mipmapping?
Mipmaps are smaller, pre-filtered versions of a texture image, representing different levels of detail (LOD) of the texture. They are often stored in sequences of progressively smaller textures called mipmap chains with each level half as small as the previous one.
They are used for situations where the distance between an object and the camera can change. As the object gets further from the camera, the object’s texture will eventually appear smaller on-screen than its actual resolution, in other words, there will be more than one texel (pixels of a texture map) per screen pixel. The texture will have to be scaled down in a process called minification filtering, which often requires the application to sample multiple texels to decide on the colour of a pixel. This becomes a problem when you need to sample the entire texture at runtime for an object that could only be a single pixel wide.
This is where mipmaps come in. Instead of sampling a single texture, the application can be set up to switch between any of the lower resolution mipmaps in the chain depending on the distance from the camera.
I'm not an expert, but in my case (probably due to a high-res screen) setting mipmaps to 0 improved my image quality and also solved the issue where some textures were flickering from time to time. I'm not sure it helps for you, but i think it's worth giving it a try.

One thing puzzled me again (as with v0.93):
While loading a track the progress bar is not displayed.
Then I remembered how I had fixed this the last time.
In file Data\GPxPatch\gpxset.ini a specification has to be changed:
DisableProgressBar =0
(instead of =1).
This may also be done using the CSM-GPxPatch-GPxSet dialog by deactivating [Disable progress bar].
i set that to 0 on purpose because in combination with some ReShade effects, the loading bar is very annoying. But as you said, you can either enable it in gpxset.ini or in the GpxPatch Menu:

Thank you for the new update Carl 
I only point out the presence of Vettel helmet by an unknown author.
I suggest replacing it with the one from jvinu2000, which I think is of higher quality.
Anyway I still wish you the best for the final version of your gorgeous 2020 Mod
