Anything that changes the database will not work online, as the game will detect a mis-match of files. Anything that changes only the appearance of the game should be fine. So your camera and led mod should be fine. And possibly the draw distance (depending on what files it changes im not sure) put the realistic damage and true to life AI wont.

Best way to check though is to uninstall all the mods, then re add them one at a time, testing in between to see if online still works. That way you can narrow it down.

Hope that helps

Also, if you use the Ryder mod manager to install your mods, you can swap them in and out quicker.

When I saw this post before going to bed, I would have said that you should have no problems with any of the mods you mentioned.

But ..... you've added to the list now.

So I would say it's probably the realistic damage mod. This mod changes the damage for yourself or the AI or both. However you are not allowed to modify the damage of other multiplayer drivers, or you cannot be expected to have a different damage model than them, it wouldn't be fair. After all you could adjust the mod for no damage for yourself, and that would be a no no in online play.

Cheers

Here's a good tip if you have enough free disk space:

See that f12013 - MODDED folder there? That's how you rename (F2) your modded game, when you want to go online. When you want to play your modded game, select the vanilla f12013 folder, and rename it f12013 - ORIGINAL, then select the modded one, press F2, and rename it f12013. Easy.

These two wont work online.
Online mod-visuals work online like tires, car skins et cetera.
Changing the database, car handling or car damage (or even the ai) will get you disconnected from online gaming. Keep two different F1 2013 folders in steam, and switch between them by changing folder name.
