[RDDev] Season 1999 Total Conversion

Season 1999 Total Conversion

version 1.1.2012.0820
This modpack completely converts the game to the 1999 season. Unfortunately, while we did start this mod back in October of 2011, we could not finish it due to the RaceDepartment upgrades, and certain members being busy. So while the graphics changes are limited, you can be sure it's still a great experience during the race, as all the teams and drivers (data files) are there.

Features:

• Helmets -- Four new helmets are included for the Jordan and McLaren teams.
• Liveries -- New liveries have been made for Jordan, Mclaren, Sauber, and Williams. Benetton and Arrows are using placeholder liveries, not from the 1999 season.
• New Drivers -- Race amongst the ranks of 21 new drivers!
• New Teams -- Compete for 8 new teams like Benetton, Prost, Stewart, and much more! (Includes Toyota from the 2002 season as a bonus)
• Driver/Team Strengths -- All drivers and teams are edited to match their skills and positions as close as possible to the 1999 season.
• Retirements -- Retirements have been fine tuned for maximum realism, based specifically to each driver, and track.
• Car Performance -- Each car has been modified in Power and Weight to match the real life performance.

NOTES:

• Toyota, Arrows, and Minardi are meant to be a challenge so your car will be slower than your teammate.
• BAR team will be harder in Qualifying, but much less so than the tier 5 teams, and race will be way easier.
• GP does not reflect the proper Car/Driver/Team tuning, play career for the real experience.
• We're not sure how much it is worth it to continue working on this so there may or may not be more updates.
• Almost forgot, use this fix and put it in your system folder to be able to save your game: DL

I will download this, thank you guys for all the work.

I shelved F1 2011 in hopes of 2012 being a better product, but this seems like it can make me dust off that copy.

Awesome! Definitely worth the try!

Hope it breathes some new life to your game!

Also want to say how much I appreciate @ML2166, @SK Racing, and @warok . Thanks for making these beautiful liveries and helping me put this out there!

Oh, btw. Do we have KERS and DRS on our Minardi?

I just left the low teams without KERS to try and make it a bigger challenge for the hardcore racers. But some people around here are just way too good for the AI even with its handicaps.

Well.. AI is AI. It can't be as fast as a real player.

We can only try to make it as competitive as possible.

Update:

I realized I made a little mistake with the retirement calculations so I've provided a dl link to the fixed database under the main download mirror.

You can see here the extreme that I take all these calculations to :

Thanks man, ive been tring to get into this game, but just couldnt bring myself to torture my eyes and sences by doing so.
Hopefully, this will make the £25 worth something!

Wow this is a great contribution from all involved. Well done

thanks. brilliant work

Great work guys

thanks for this wonderful mod, but I have a question. Where do I put the file flow.bin .. Thank's in advance

Is it realy TOTAL conversion?

not really many cars are not in this mod >___<



Ferrari,Stewart,BAR,Minardi,Prost and Toyota are missing

yeah!
cool thank you for this one!

I think that was kind of explained in Ryders opening post.

"So while the graphics changes are limited, you can be sure it's still a great experience during the race, as all the teams and drivers (data files) are there".

And the reasons as to why this is the case.

Yeah guys, in a perfect world this would have been released fully back in December, but things got in the way. We gave you as much as we could for now.

Update 2:
Again with the retirements, I realized I uploaded the wrong file, please re-download the db fix, sorry!

This is AWESOME!!!!

This is must be Considered as Best Mod of this Series
Great job guys great job
@Ryder25 How did you get the Table where we have reliability and other things??
