no, the texture edits will work as long as you are using that career head and helmet in the existing career

Thanks. Watched your video again and discovered that I forgot to change: asset_groups\ui_package\flow_persistant. Thank you again.

Does anyone know how to mod the performance of cars and tyres? (grip, horsepower, downforce, weight etc.)

In the team .vtf files

To mod housepower edit the y= value in:
<RevsPowerSpline numVertices

Actually just add one of the tier upgrade:
radUpgradeTier1Engine (Tier1 upgrade example)

To mod weight lower this value:
<Mass value=

To mod downforce increase these values:
<m_aero_front_cl_maxf_maxr value=
<m_aero_front_cl_maxf_minr value=
<m_aero_front_cl_minf_maxr value=
<m_aero_front_cl_minf_minr value=

<m_aero_rear_cl_maxf_maxr value=
<m_aero_rear_cl_maxf_minr value=
<m_aero_rear_cl_minf_maxr value=
<m_aero_rear_cl_minf_minr value=

Should I change It for example in ferrari.vtf only for ferrari.vtf or too for mercedes.vtf?

So i change 31 for something higher and it gets more horsepower?

Yes just change the ferrari.vtf

I actually don’t know why the mercedes.vtf is in with every other team file. Someone else might know maybe.

No don't touch the 31 that tells the program how many Spline Elements to expect. Change the x and ys
Just look at the values from a faster engine and youll see what to increase it to

So to boost the red bull engine add the “radUpgradeTier1Engine” y= values

Which are these values:
y="167.1405" op="+" />
y="761.417" op="+" />
y="2654.336" op="+" />

Add these to the y= values of the <RevsPowerSpline numVertices="31">

So a lower value is more power? and what if I already have some of the upgrades installed in career mode?
Original intention was to improve performance of all teams

Larger value is more powerful. If you mod an engine upgrade and use it in career mode and then have an engine upgrade in career mode it should be another engine boost. So one engine upgrade for the mod and one for career upgrade.

Hello guys, i don't want to be repetitive because im sure there is already a question about this, but don't have time to go through 52 pages, so I have a question about the car performance, and is there a way to make every car pretty similar on the grid and would the rnd progress effect the performance's to those in later stages of the career mode. Thanks in advance

Team upgrades would affect the progress later in career mode.

But if want the teams performance to be the same give every team the values as Mercedes.

These values:

When I edit the Haas decal and paint files the car appears white in the game. I saved the files as before with other teams and they work with the same settings. I tried to save the .dds files with paint.net, gimp and Photoshop CS2 (with Nvidia dds plugin)

It looks like my haas is now completely broken. This skin worked one week ago. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Where are the team select car image assets? I've created a team and want to update the car image in the team select menu, is this even possible? Thanks for any help.

go here :\STEAM\steamapps\common\F1 2017\asset_groups\ui_package then open "flow_frontend.erp" with erp archiver. then look for the " overrides.teams.team_select_bg.texarray" on the texture list

Yes, ty! I've found that but all I see is the Ferrari. I don't see any other teams.
