Hello,
Thanks,
Thanks for the feeback! But as there are no XML file in the mods - only the .assetgroup and the ERP file - how do you then merge the mod with your mod? Or can you convert the assetgroup one to a xml?
Okay that seems fine, I think I need to learn to manage my tyres better

I would also like to know if these mods work together? Would love to play 25% races with realistic damage and realistic tire performance.Ist this mod compatible with the Damage mod from StrongestFish?
F1 2021 Extreme, Medium and Realistic Damage
This mod increases damage sensitivity in "Simulation" mode for AI and player. Unfortunately there is no way to affect damage for new parts such as sidepod, rear wing etc., so this is not changed. Mod affect only to front wings and suspension...
is there a way where i can make ai crash like spinning getting caught up in the dirty air and losing it basically have a lot more incidentsFor the dirty air, you have to manage the lift and drag effect for each cars.
So :
Through each XML files on ERP cars files :
XMLSection : <F1Aero>
<m_aeroSlipStreamAirDensityScaleLift value="0.85" />
<m_aeroSlipStreamAirDensityScaleDrag value="0.90" />
It's a %.
0.85 for Lift -> -15% of grip under slipstreams.
0.90 for drag -> +10% of speed underslipstreams.
You need to modify this value in 15 files.
common.erp (for mercedes)
and each cars files for each teams : ferrari, force_india ... included fom_car and the 4 myteam_xxxxx directories.
All of this files for F1 cars are in \2021_asset_groups\f1_2021_vehicle_package\teams\
Good luck

They will only take the corners like a train to a specific point.. lift value of 0.75 is a good decision, as especially 2021 AI are not dealing too well with excessive loss of grip in high speed corners like maggots-chapel but this will only show when they follow very closely so like within 0.2s. They will just completely lose the line and lose up to 1-2s depending on how bad it was and the traffic behind.. Or in Baku the 2 "corners" in the final straight they would just crash out if too close.. So good job haha tho i dont use your mod, i have my ownThe best way is :
1) play on tyres grip. Reducing the tyres grip will do the race more challenging, for you included. But it can be frustrating sometime and too harsh, and not realistic if you reduce it too much. I tried to find an equilibrium but perhaps there are better setting to find.
2) play on dirty air. Lift value below 0.75 is very difficult, especially for overtaking. Getting close to an opponent at less than second will be very, very difficult. It will be very difficult to stay close and especially when exiting the corner and with worn tyres.
3) by increasing damage parameters. To have more "crash" when the cars start to lose control and touch each other.
Unfortunately, we are not in Assetto Corsa Competizione. The bots mostly stay on the same trajectory and are still very good despite less grip. Honestly, F1 2020/21 is clearly unrealistic from this point of view.
You will still see cars with worn tires, cold ground and huge lift losing under the sliptream effects being able to take quick corners at very high speed like a train.
In which way did you updated it? only compatible with Modular Mods or also performance wise in-game since there still has to made some tweaks in my opinion?
Hey mate, forgot to say thanks for the brilliant feedback above! It worked a treat, and Actually kind of understand the process now. #hacker!Hello,
Forgot the assetgroup file, you don't need to manage it, open it if you want, there is just a simple command line, nothing more.
The XML is "extract" from the ERP file with EGO ERP Archiver.
The game just need the ERP file.
- You install EGO ERP Archiver (with the requirement)
- You open the ERP file with the tool (tips : you can link the tool with the .erp file extension to open ERP archives quickly each time, with a double-clic, and same thing for XML and Notepad++)
- You go on XML tab, you select the XML file in the window, you clic on export at the top.
- You open the XML file, you change, you do what you want inside the XML file. I use Notepad++, with a compare pluggin and XML pluggin (you can installed this pluggins directly inside notepad++, there is an option inside to add pluggins quickly, no need to search other pluggins on web).
- You save your new XML and you import this file inside the ERP file with EGO ERP Archiver : same operation as 3. but you select import.
- you save your new ERP Archive.
The AssetGroup file is just use to find the ERP file for the game, so many mods don't need to modify it.
The XML file is just a working file for modders, used with EGO ERP tool. You can let it with your mod after, or in the game directory, it's not an issue, because it's not used by the game.
If you understand this operation, you will be able to mod everythingthrough ERP in the game : cars, skins, helmet, driver suits, safety cars, tyres, logo, menu, pit skins, rain effect, flag of mazespin ....
For skins and textures, the idea is the same, you just have to import/export DDS texture inside the ERP file.
And you can combine : inside for example ferrari.erp or common.erp, you can change the parameters with the XML imput, and the textures part if you want. The idea is always the same.
