F1 2012 F1 2012 The Game: HD Modifications

F1 2012 The Game (Codemasters)
Whilst F1 2012 in itself is indeed looking and feeling great right out of the box there's always an improvement down the road. We are in the lucky position to have all these incredibly talented people posting their modifications on RD. This, however, can lead to either missing out on awesome mods because of the quick succession of postings or getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of different modifcations.

This article will guide you through the jungle that is the F1 2012 Mods board and not only list the best graphical modifications to date but also list possible alternatives.



Neither of these mods will give you an advantage in-game but merely replace the standard textures with higher resolution textures and / or updated skins. This list reflects my own choice of modifications and doesn't necessarily list all modifications currently available and is in no way exhaustive.
Cars



Steering Wheels



Tracks



Garages



Tyres



Suggested



You can further improve the quality of all car skins if you copy the high quality texture into the low quality folder and rename the texture appropriately. Bear in mind that this means that the car skins alone might need several GB of space on your hard drive.

Please keep in mind that most of these mods will add graphical quality and can thus lead to losing performance. If you're already hardly being able to play the game smoothly you might want to be cautious.

" Rotax

"great out of the box"?

Sorry guys, this is not true.

It looks a little bit bad for a 2012 game, its extremly limited because of the old, slow video-consoles.

rFactor with a good ENB setting looks much better and has real HD-texture with good (F1)-mods and of course much much better physics and options."
Rotax - sorry but I disagree.Rfactor is very modifiable, but when it comes to graphics and all the other things like weather... safety car... pit crew... tyre wear & strategy... nothing comes close to f1 2012. I don't even think there is a proper F1 mod for Rfactor where the Kers & DRS works properly. Tried them all.
I recon the only real way to improve on F1 2012 is to allow us to modify the Database for championship purposes.
We'd like to increase Tyre wear to be more realistic... as well as car handling and performance. Obviously one should only be allowed to change it and play against others with exact same changes. PLEASE Race Department F1 fans... let's give Codemasters a shout because if we convince them to change this... we could have international F1 league championships like DGL.... just imagine... Trophies and everything.
 
You should be fine as long as your database hasn't been modified, neither of these mods requires changing the database. :)
Does anyone have any idea which file contains the check to see IF database have been changed and then prevent lan / multiplayer connection? We would like to use the realistic AI mod which is a modified database for our championship league... but even though everyone has the same files... lan keeps disconnecting as does multyplayer. PLEASE HELP>

I don't see how this is relevant in this thread at all. Especially since there's a thread available for such questions.
