First version will have to be a beta version since I won't have the time to test it around.
It will be a good opportunity to get feedback and improve it.

 

[David Danser]

I would love to test the beta and give feedback!

 

[Block]

I would love it if you could release a Beta soon. I know a lot of things that you would like to include in your mod are not finished. However it would be nice just to have the correct driver and team names for now.
Your work so far looks mightly impressive!

 

[Greki]

When we can download the beta version? Can we use the current savegame with the mod? Thanks for your work

 

[Fraggon]

you won't be able to use an existing save with any mods, at least not if you want all the changes (names for example)

Thanks for the answer. I hope to release the beta soon to try the mod.

 

[Scoots]

Oh this looks very inetresting not going to start a game until i get this thanks for the effort enzoli and ppl invloved

 

[enzoli]

Guys, thank you all for your patience.
Still need few more days before release but I've been working on it for a week now and I'm getting closer to completion.
Final version will wait a bit more but seeing the interest you guys have in this, I'll publish a beta version during the week so you can come back to me with your suggestions.

 

[Maurits Vernel]

Will it have all the teams? That means, 11 teams?

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Will it have all the teams? That means, 11 teams?

Nope, top 10 in the championship is in F1. That means no Manor in F1

This was asked before but I don't think you answered (or I overlooked it): Are you planning to increase session length for practice/qualifying? This would be really good, it's why I currently use the Legends mod (even though that feature is broken atm).

I can make session length as long as people want. But I have no idea what's best because I didn't play a single race yet . Too busy working on this mod.
Tell you what : make your suggestions about the best length for each and I'll set up a poll so that people can all have their say.
It's possible to increase or decrease Tyre Wear in the same file too so if you guys want, that can be discussed too.

 

[enzoli]

Will it have all the teams? That means, 11 teams?

Nope, Manor is in GP2 since there's only 10 teams possible in each Tier at the moment.
I chose Manor as they are the lowest team in 2016 standings. Sauber has only 1 more point but they're in F1 for ages.

 

[The Last V8]

Thanks for your reply. Tyre wear can be the same. The Legends mod worked with the following sessions: Practice: 30/40/60, Qualification 25/40/60 (short, average, long sessions). I really liked that setting because it makes it possible to do a proper qualification where not everyone and his mother is out on the tracks.

And it shouldn't bother people who would prefer shorter sessions: you can always "skip session" in the menu once you are satisfied with your settings/qualify time.

 

[enzoli]

Ok. Thanks for that.
Also can anyone tell me if suppliers appear at some point? Engin, Fuel, others?
I can't seem to find where they show up in game...

 

[Mercedes93]

You can choose between the spuppliers only after the season when you build the new chassis.

 

[Fraggon]

They appear when you have to design your new car before the new season. You can always choose between 3 different suppliers

 

[enzoli]

Gosh, I won't have time to play a full season.
If anyone could provide a screenshot of that screen at the end of the season where the suppliers names, logos and infos appears, that would help me so much.

 

[The Last V8]

Will do if I get there...
