Misc F1 2012 Realism mod

[Richie Hill]

I am so confused by the database values for tyre wear. I upped the track_tyre_wear_level to 0.5 so my tyres wear a little harder, which they did, but then the ai stayed out and didn't need to pit

What value do I need to change so the player and AI do less stops, so a one stopper is possible on some tracks?

No problem. Results from Catalunya...

I drive 100% races/Intermediate difficulty. It should be noted that Kobayashi in the above race had mechanical problems but still managed to finish as he was near the back from about lap 10 onwards. There may also be a problem with Hamilton. I think that's the 3rd race in a row he failed to finish.

Nice results. how did maldonado and raikonnen retire? maldonado from a crash? And ill look into Hamilton's DNF's

hill Are my tyre wear values wrong?

hill[/USER] Are my tyre wear values wrong?

No the values seem very close, however I wanted to make my tyres wear a little more so I have to come in when the AI do and also make the races that were one stoppers in RL this year have less stops in the game.

Hmm ok, I've no idea how to do that. Haven't look into it very much.
Am working on a patch on the mod but its harder than i thought, to much random DNF's

The medium DNF is def best for me.

The tyre strategy does work well. When the AI pit my tyres aren't un driveable, so I can stay out, but the ai are much quicker on fresh tyres so you need to pit to cover them which is cool.

The number of stops is fine. To make this mod perfect, is there a way to make the players tyres wear more without effecting anything else.

I'm going to try changing the tyre wear of all the races to 3 in the track_model because at Silverstone the players tyres wear to a good level.

I think the problem is that when your stints are shorter because of less laps. You have the same tyre wear but just less laps to run on bad tires, that why you feel like they are better.

Hi All.
Firstly thanks Demy for taking your time to sort this mod.
Ok so i have read the thread and i am a little unclear as to which mod to install. are they what they say they are now.
I usuall run 50% distance so which one is for me?

Thanks

I dont think so actually, you can try but I don't believe tyre scaling works. The rest of the mod work though to you can do 100%

chris kemp you should install the 50% med DNF files, or if you like a lot of retirements you should install the 50% high DNF files. Check the readme file for further instrucions!

 

[cemz85]

does your mod include 50 flashbacks?
I want to use your database but dont want to lose my 50 flashback database

 

[chris kemp]

Thanks, the Readme says install loose parts file which i could not see anywhere in the dl

Thanks, the Readme says install loose parts file which i could not see anywhere in the dl

That's because for some reason the file has been made hidden. Unless you change your Windows folder settings you won't see it.

I just want to say thanks again Demy for another great mod. I instaled the 50% high DNF mod, and the tyre scaling and pit stop strategy is just about spot on now.

Just drove a race at Valencia and had my most exciting race on this game yet.

As you can see, 4 DNFs, including Schumacher on the final lap. Also, I saw a lot of wings on some corners every few laps, which made a few drivers pit 4 or 5 times. Was the best race I've had yest on F1 2012. I did a 3 stop strategy on Option,Option,Prime,Option and it worked so perfectly that I was able to overtake Hamilton on the 2nd last lap of the race. Hamilton was behind me all race, but was on a 2 stop strategy, so got in front of me after my final stop, but was continuing on his primes, but I was on options and this helped to overtake him and take the lead again. I also had some good battles with Vettel at the start and Alonso and Kimi in the middle of the race. It was exciting the whole race, and I was behind schumacher on my last lap about to lap him, when I see him go straight into the run off area and retire.

It's the best working mod yet for realistic gameplay! Thank you! Now I hope we can get a safety car mod soon, and this game should even more realistic.

I like to hear that driveroz, but its hard for me to fix the random retirements. When I do short races like 5 laps, I still get Ferrari and Lotus to retire sometimes but they shouldnt. So still a lot of work to do!

 

[cemz85]

does your mod include 50 flashbacks? i have a 50 flashback database which is very helpful for me, i dont want to overide it unless you have more flashbacks or can edit your database to have it

 

[Deleted member 137812]

Realism mod - 1.3

Version 1.3 contains realistic retirements. So an HRT will retire a lot more than a Ferrari. Also I fixed the tyre wear a bit so you can''t hold out any longer on your tires.
I made some other small adjustments that will make the game even better!

cemz85 , it also contains your 50 flashback mod.

Demy, great job so far!!

I installed your mod as your directions said, however when I attempt to open the game it gives me a CTD...it will not go past the load screen. any suggestions?

 

[cemz85]

just downloaded the mod, where is the 50% med DNF folder? i only see 50% 75% 100% distances in the download rar

 

[Deleted member 137812]

twon01 that looks like a misplacement of a file tbh . im not at home yet but il look into it.

thats right cemz everything is med now since that is what a realism mod is about
