:::::::::::1997 MOD:::::::::::
First of all, special thanks to people who helped with the mod. Would not have been possible wirhout their help.
Credits:
@needforspeedgamer for the steering wheels, and driver pictures
@Millsy24 for his Old Silverstone mod, which I used here
@Jarvis , for testing out the AI pace against player and the handling model
@remydeleeuw, for letting me know how to use the ryder bxml converter, and also for trying to help me with AI stalls at the start (which unlike F1 2012 didn't work)
@Geckarbor5LP, for the base textures of Sauber, McLaren, and Jordan.
@Steven Poirier for helmets, and later pitcrew, racecrew and driver suits once I convert them from F1 2012
@Matt Drummond, for letting me use his 7 tracks mod.
@Melphiz, for the NO DRS mod for F1 2013 that works on this game too.
What is included in the mod?
-All the cars, all the drivers (apart from Lola), with realistic performances
-17 race calendar in their order, including Jerez, Nurburgring (as Luxembourg GP and not as German GP) and Imola
-Includes different tracks to replace Argentina and France: Brands is Argentina and Delhi is France
-Revised handling (for those using the steering wheel)
-Helmets for every driver
-AI improved in dry pace, and made slower in wet.
-Bridgestone tyres
-Tyre wear reduced
-DRS disabled for all tracks
STILL LEFT TO DO:
-None
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-It is recommended to run lean fuel mixture in wet conditions
-going to RACE ONLY can produce a strange/random grid
It is recommended to NOT use the RACE ONLY option in the race weekend, but run some type of qualifying
Full qualifying is also not recommended, as there was only one qualifying session in this era.
-The modern points scoring system is used as I can't change it.
-In case you can't complete the evaluation test without a game crash, use CTRL to skip it!
-I saw some amazing track updates over here, definetly worth a check to enhance the experience of the mod

INSTALATION:
I could not fit this within the 300MB regulation, so I have to split it to two parts
1) Download the 1997 mod part 1 by Milos (me)
2) Extract the .7z file you downloaded
3) Drag the extracted files into your game folder, overwrite
4) Download the 1997 mod part 2 by Milos (me)
(http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/.5762/)
5) Extract the .7z you downloaded
6) Drag the extracted files into your game folder, overwrite
7) START A NEW SAVE GAME (as it will likely corrupt your old one), and enjoy!
There is a crash fix included, you should not install it unless your game is crashing on Imola, Jerez and the tracks imported from F1 2013. Full instructions on how to install are in the part 2 mod overview section.
It is important to extract first part 1 and then part 2!
If anyone makes a youtube video featuring the mod, I'd appreciate it if you linked the mod in the video description. Thanks!
