Yes and this is what makes PC gaming so much better than console gaming. being able to modify your games to suit and make them better is what it's all about and for free too. Tell this to the makers of PCars and their big share holders and they just don't get it.

Hello.
Thanks for kind words, everyone
I could finish editing all teams visors and would like to post it here.

Once again, thanks to kenken for this great "Visor View" Mod.
And thanks to Rini Braat, T46D, Thimoty Decransand, Bruce Leeroy and Carl Hughes for their kind permission and sharing their brilliant textures and templates.

And thanks to everyone here at RaceDepartment Modding Community.
To drive Codemasters F1 series with Visor View has been my long-awaited dream since Grand Prix 4.
I sincerely appreciate everybody's kind help and support to make this dream come true !

Thank you very much Tommi-TAG! Excellent work

 

[TranceFM]

Thank you Tommi-TAG.

 

[Nicolas Vial]

Awesome guys ! Thank you very much !

7zip says "cannot be opened as an archive" -.-

 

[iammx]

Awesome mod, thanks to all involved!

Not to be picky but I think it could be slightly improved by some air bubbles trapped in the tear-offs and to make it look like you're actually looking through a visor. The visibility when the visor down is almost identical/not noticeable to when it's up. You can see what I mean in this post.

The W.I.P Thread

 

[Andy_J]

Superb. Well done. If only codemasters could employ you all and get rid of some the guys who just don't try to come up with beter things then F1 2013 would be the best yet. The replay system is what needs working on now in my opinion. I know some of the tracks have been done to have a more TV race view but we need them all.

It's only getting better folks. Thanks god we have PC's and not restrictive consoles. My son has the game on his xbox and when he see's this on my PC he just feels like throwing his xbox into the trash.

 

[kenken]

This is test version for advanced users and visor texture creators.
It's added multi texture feature. Please read README.

Edit:
The visor auto selection can be implemented for quick race and career at this point, but this plan is postponed until I found better solution for all game mode.

Edit 2:
I added figure of each mode file structure, please download from new link. Sorry.


Edit 3: Download link removed. Version 1.2 has been released.

Nice!! Are you going to update for new verison of visor mod so that we can switch between different teams visors

 

[wildchildlevi]

thanks guys this are awsome visors nice work mates

 

[vlasovas]

As Carl said, which video card you use? And when does game stop? before intro movie?

sorry for the delay in replying, my vga GTX 460 is Nvidia latest driver released
it just opens the logo f1 2012 and closes immediately, and not enters the introduction, not, giving the message that there was a problem

 

[vlasovas]

Hi Vlas, I'm guessing you have a DX11 card? Otherwise it seems strange that a man of your talents can't get this working

the mod does not work in DX 11? mine is dx 11

 

[Andy_J]

the mod does not work in DX 11? mine is dx 11

Works perfect for me. Are you doing something blatantly wrong?

 

[WillsB3]

Tommi-TAG Awesome work! These look great. I will try them soon. Thanks again to kenken for the new version with team specific textures !

 

[vlasovas]

Vlasovas,
Are you using the FXAA injector?
If your card is a DX11 capable card, try using it without the FXAA injector, i guess that FXAA injector forces it to run DX10 instead of 11. Use sweetfx instead, there a good mod with a nice profile keith dixon made.

I'm not using it, your mod is very good, is the best of the released, but it increases slightly the use of vga, and have heat problems here at home, is a furnace, but I no longer use, and even so the visor does not work, I'll try reducing the graphics options and then I say

edit : did not work, only if the problem is windows 8, tomorrow I see in windows 7

edit : did not work, only if the problem is windows 8, tomorrow I see in windows 7

Then the problem "maybe" its the Windows 8.
Anyway, you can look into your documents folder, on the F1 2012 folder inside the documents folder you can see the hardware config file, take a look at it, there's an option forceDX10="?" Its its enable, turn it to false and see if it works.
Lets say i share your problems of temperature. My VGA max temp was 83ºC yesterday

You can try the SweetFX effects, it uses DX 11, and i haven't noticed any drop in FPS.

Does OSD also shake under high longitudinal acceleration? I never seen before probably because of I use default cam.

It's just an idea, so you don't need to prove my theory. But if you have free time, finding out condition of shake will be big help for this.

Hi Kenken,
I really don't remember the conditions for shaking, but i know there's values on the car cameras.xml regarding the camera shaking.
I looked at the OSD config and found this:
<create name="animationeffectsinterface">
<parameter name="rumble settings">
<parameter name="minimum speed" value="1.0f" />
<parameter name="smooth surfaces">
<parameter name="TARMAC" />
</parameter>
</parameter>
Problem is that i haven't found this "interfaces" on the xml files i opened.
I think the shake effects for the camera shares the same input that send the information to the force feedback. Looking at the surface_materials file theres some values like:
bumpswavelength="0.00200" bumpsmagnitude="0.00200" and they change the car "shake" on the surface, i haven't really noticed, but i believe the osd is based on the same data.
When you have some time to look for this, take a look on the persistentdatarender.xml on the frontend folder. I really believe its the file with the data you are looking for. See it:

<in_game_cameras>
<spring_tweaks>
<centering_tension scale="1.0" />
<centering_damping scale="2.0" />
<user_tension scale="5.0" />
<user_damping scale="1.0" />
<spring_threshold_x normal="0.1" />
<spring_threshold_y normal="0.1" />

<spring_tweaks>
<centering_tension scale="1.0" />
<!-- Auto retract force value after user control is withdrawn -->
<centering_damping scale="2.0" />
<!-- Cushioning when auto retract hits it's center target -->
<user_tension scale="5.0" />

And many more. Hope that can help


EDIT: On the same file "persistentdatarender.xml:
<!--- CAMERA NOISE -->
<noise>
<default>
<Screen>
<min_distance value="0.5" />
<min_distance_scale value="1.0" />
<max_distance value="1.0" />
<max_distance_scale value="1.0" />
<rotation_freq value="0.35" />
<rotation_forceXY value="0.5" />
<rotation_forceZ value="3.0" />
<rotation_roughness value="0.15" />
<rotation_disp_freq value="0.05" />
<rotation_disp_force value="1.0" />

Must be this file
