Beautiful work, Enzoli! Looking forward to the release. I was wondering if something could be done about the number of generated females - it is too high and unreal for the Formula series as you have all noticed. 50-60% of the drivers, designers and engineers are women as in reality this percentage is between 5-10%. I'm not sexist, I know it is a delicate topic in recent times and I'm aware of the fact that more and more women are getting involved in this sport.

Thanks again for the great modding!

 

[enzoli]

Will you also increase the practice and qualy times with this mod? Looks awesome btw, when will you be planning on releasing it?

Thanks for your comment. I don't have a release date although I'm putting as much as I can in it so that we all can play with it ASAP.

Thanks for the feedback. The teams I chose for the 3 tiers are the real one and include only 2 females.
Just like you it's nothing sexist, it's just the reality.
There will be enough women in the non-attached drivers and staff too so that anyone willing to set up a 100% female team can still do it.

Just finished my Red Bull livery. It actually takes a lot of time. More than I thought
Not too happy with the front but unfortunately the textures are put together in a very strange way that it's not possible to joint them perfectly without having ugly graphic stretched and overlapping other textures. Sad but oh well. This one will do for now :

Looks pretty good to me! Even if it's not an exact replica livery, each team having a livery identity that closely resembles real life is nice.

The livery is fantastic! It's possibile see this in the race?

 

[enzoli]

Why not. Can you tell me of any good program to take ingame video?
I've never tried it before

I agree. You can't see this sort of detail in the actual race, anyway. So as long as it comes close to the real one, it should be fine. And this one definitely does come close. Good work

Hopefully they come true with this..
"In visual terms, 3d modellers out there will be able to change the car models, as well as individual parts (front wings, tyres, etc). On the 2d side, you’ll also be able to tweak team logos, as well as championship, media and sponsor logos."
Then I should be able to make a new uv layout for each part moddeled. As well as I can model lets say a car from the 60, 70, 80, or 90's era if people are interested in suck kind of mods.

 

[Windhook]

Enzoli, could you possibly link/send me the texture file of the Red Bull car you've been working on in the last few days. I think I'm on to something...

 

[grahamw]

Mr.Sandee have already said the one I was going to say as well



It's better if you make one version, and one that you like, if you feel it's better with the real names, go for that, and I'll happily use the mod regardless (as long as the mod is well made)



Brilliant!

The head of Mercedes Motor Sport is Toto Wolff according to the AMG Mercedes Website.

[enzoli]

My Toro livery so far. (Still needs the lines on the side)
The textures have been coded so weirdly in this game that it's impossible to get a good result.
There's some dead zones on liveries where any gfx would be stretched and destroyed.
Also, as there's only 3 colors available, any team with details, such as the white parts on the hood bull here, have to be one of the three colors.
Tried to put it in white but it get converted automatically. Sad but oh well, still looks better than the stock livery.

 

[enzoli]

And my final Red Bull version

 

[iammx]

Looks great enzoli! One thing I was wondering was about how sponsors only last 12 races maximum I think, so hopefully it's possible to mod sponsor lengths to have multi-year deals. That way you won't see Ferrari sponsored by RedBull or something after the initial contracts wear down, but other major sponsors could be on other teams after a few seasons or something, like Vodafone was a big sponsor for Ferrari and McLaren a few years back or how Petronas used to be on Sauber.

 

[jame]

is this mod works with newest patch 1.1 ?

 

[sjaak]

Really really really great wurk enzoli....this looks verry good...i am looking forward to your mod..

I was thinking about that too. It's possible to make the deal as long as you want in the file.
It would be more realistic but on the other hand, it would shorten your possibilities in term of sponsor choice then. I don't know yet which way I'll go. Would be a good debate though.

Yes it works with the patch 1.1.

Really really really great wurk enzoli....this looks verry good...i am looking forward to your mod..

Thanks for your feedback. I'm would really really like to release it next week tbh. Not sure it will be easy as it depends on many things, personal life being one, but it looks possible to me.

 

[Joethe147]

This looks absolutely incredible. Thanks so much for all your dedication.

One request, right bfore a session begins in real F1, there's that brief clip, it's like an intro to sessions, it's a bit colourful and has swooshes and all that. I can't find it but hopefully you know what I mean. In the 90s and I think early 2000s, there was a different one with mainly black and white colours with a bit of guitar as music. If there was a way to replace the WMC videos with that, it would be brilliant.

 

[enzoli]

I didn't play a race yet so I don't see what you're talking about
But if it's video it should be a .b2k file in the streamingassets folder.
And b2k are possible to edit or replace. It's just a file format.
I saw someone editing b2k on another thread.

 

[Jerr]

Looks really awesome... can wait to take this for a test run! Happy to interrupt my current season to use this. Hope you will release soon (maybe beta version?)!
