hey i have redownloaded this game after previously uninstalling and for some reason my controller does not detect at all, but it worked before so no idea what the issue is
F1 Challenge 99 - 02

Hello all,
I am trying to run the 1961 standalone mod for this game, but it doesn't seem to be working in any capacity. I can do test days by myself around most of these tracks, but when I go into a race the game crashes before loading up the track. I tried using dgVoodo but all that does is mess with the menus and still crashes the game when I go to race. I have compatibility modes on, as well as admin mode, but still can't get it to work. Any tips?

I just reinstalled F1 Ch 99-02 and am using this EXE file to make it work with Windows 10, 2560x1440, etc. etc.
Does anyone have a list of changes to make to text files to improve the game? I know lots of improvements can be made from editing various text files such as PLR, SCN, CAM, RCD, TBC, damage.ini, HDV, engine.ini, etc.
How do I stop all the graphics LOD pop-in? On replay mode when the car is not too far away, I can see the LOD changing as the car comes closer to me. I have an i9-11900K, an RTX 2080 Ti, and 32GB of fast RAM, I don't need different LODs. I want all objects to be full quality LOD at all times no matter how far away they are from me. Do I have to change the ClipPlanes or LODMultiplier in each circuit's CAM file?
Can I improve mirror graphics from simply editing a text file (like mirror resolution) or do I have do download a file?
Where can I find a list of mods that improve the regular game? I want to keep the gameplay "experience" fairly close to default/vanilla but I want to improve it where I can (like textures, lighting, trackside objects, sounds, AI, etc.).

Hello! I will try to answer all your questions as best as I can.
I use SublimeText to edit text files
PLR -> Can be edited with notepad. CMT 2020 has the PLR files optimized. You can download that mod here: https://kcarloscampos-cmt.crearforo.net/t12-f-1-challenge-2020-season-by-constrictor-modding-team
SCN -> Can be edited with NotePad. Here is a full tutorial for it (most of its points works for F1C) https://www.endless-resources.org/index.php?topic=3.0
CAM files -> These are edited with Guitarmen's rFactor AIW Cam Editor. You can download it here: https://easyupload.io/0vay2k (link expires in 30 days)
I know how to make CAM files but I cannot explain how
RCD files -> Can be edited with Notepad. The group I shared before (CMT) is working on all F1 1950-2021 using statistics and math formulas. You can have an idea of their final result playing races in CMT 2020 prefinal.
Physics file -> To make them with precision and know-how, you need an engineering background, knowledge about Tom's Engine Shop, Formula One books, and advanced knowledge in Excel, as well as an application called SuspEdit2. Nevertheless, if you want to try... http://yoss.free.fr/rfactornfr/Modding_Tutorial_Website/PhysicsGlossary.shtml
You can always try the basic stuff, such as fuel capacity, the weight of the car, gears of the car, etc.
How do I stop all the graphics LOD pop-in?
Search for all the GEN files.
Every word you see ending in -FWB.mts, -FWC.mts, -FWD.mts, -FWS.mts, change it to -FWA.mts (except shadow)
Example with CMT 2020:
Front wing:
Original:
Changed to have max quality:
Every word you see ending in -RWB.mts, -RWC.mts, -RWD.mts, -RWS.mts, change it to -RWA.mts (except shadow)
Rear wing:

You just need a mirror.bmp file with higher quality on Vehicles folder. That's all.

Before continuing on answering your last question, I will tell you about the nature of the lods in this game. Lods are applied for multiple reasons:
1. Game quality. You probably perceive this as a contradiction, but all games apply LODs so reduce polygons the farther it the distance from a certain position of view. When developing a video game, forcing everything to maximum quality is an unforgivable mistake. I can speak for it because I work at a video game company. In the case of F1 Challenge, this is even more pressing, because in the F1 Challenge, the fewer the number of polygons, the higher the performance. And the FFB ratio is directly proportional to the amount of FPS the game is at. So, fewer polygons = a higher sensation of realism thanks to a higher FFB ratio. Image Space Incorporated (the people behind F1C) regarded F1 Challenge as a physics simulator. Also, VAs in F1C has about 2000 polygons (FWA and RWA about 500), which means that having 3d models of chassis and wings on par with the original is considered standard quality in this title. If you low a 400.000 polygon car to 2000 in F1C, that quality reduction is not low quality in F1 Challenge in objective terms.
2. Leeching. Reducing polygons and quality standardization of textures and models deters people from leeching in F1C, as the quality will be bad for simulators such as rFactor2, Assetto Corsa, Race07, among others. Luckily, lowering the quality to its standard s not equal to low quality. When it comes to textures, 1024x1024 resolution textures should be applied only to the chassis. Textures below 1024x1024 are acceptable in F1 Challenge '99-'02, but in today's sims, it's another story. The original game uses 1024x1024 textures very sparingly, only on vehicle models, other areas of the chassis, and specific terrain areas of a circuit.
3. FPS. There are many people from South America that play this game. So, many of them focus on making the mod playable for them, which is difficult to achieve for some of them due to their PC equipment. Not my case (I have an expensive laptop). I play only F1C for the reasons I wrote time ago in this post.

Do you know how to use higher resolutions? The most I can use (thanks to the download I linked to above) is 2560x1440 but I'm looking for triple-screen: 7680x1440 or 7780x1440.

Use CMT's config.ini file.
It allows triple screen.
I copy and pasted CMT's config.ini file and also tried that along with the 3DConfig.exe but there's still nothing above 2560x1440...
Hum, perhaps this one?
I need to ask Evilclip to add all his functionalities to these EXE files. The resolution you want is possible to do but since CMT's config doesn't work, the SG needs updates and I don't have triple screen, I don't know how to get it
Maybe there is an app that forces a resolution.

Another potential solution could be something like this: http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=13318

Great, thanks. I tried the EXE and 3DConfig file from that Matrox site but it still doesn't give me anything beyond 2560x1440. I'll keep trying, thanks!Hum, perhaps this one?

I was testing the 1999 Minardi in F1 Challenge 99-02 and hitting 285 km/h on the main straight at Barcelona with the engine rev limit at the lowest (15,600 RPM). I then raised the engine rev-limit to the maximum (16,600 RPM) and the car barely hits 278 km/h. What is happening? Is this a bug?
Hi Christian!Привет! Я постараюсь ответить на все ваши вопросы как можно лучше.
Я использую SublimeText для редактирования текстовых файлов
PLR -> Можно редактировать с помощью блокнота. CMT 2020 оптимизировал файлы PLR. Вы можете скачать этот мод здесь: https://kcarloscampos-cmt.crearforo.net/t12-f-1-challenge-2020-season-by-constrictor-modding-team
SCN -> Можно редактировать с помощью Блокнота. Вот полное руководство для него (большинство его пунктов работает для F1C) https://www.endless-resources.org/index.php?topic=3.0
Файлы CAM -> Они редактируются с помощью Guitarmen's rFactor AIW Cam Editor. Вы можете скачать его здесь: https://easyupload.io/0vay2k (срок действия ссылки истекает через 30 дней)
Я знаю, как создавать файлы CAM, но не могу объяснить, как
Файлы RCD -> Можно редактировать с помощью Блокнота. Группа, с которой я работал раньше (CMT), работает над всеми F1 1950-2021, используя статистику и математические формулы. Вы можете иметь представление об их окончательном результате, играя в гонках на предфинале CMT 2020.
Файл физики -> Чтобы сделать их с точностью и ноу-хау, вам потребуется инженерное образование, знания о Tom's Engine Shop, книгах о Формуле-1 и продвинутые знания в Excel, а также приложение SuspEdit2. Тем не менее, если вы хотите попробовать ... http://yoss.free.fr/rfactornfr/Modding_Tutorial_Website/PhysicsGlossary.shtml
Вы всегда можете попробовать основные параметры, такие как запас топлива, вес автомобиля, передачи автомобиля и т. Д.
Как мне остановить все всплывающие окна LOD графики?
Найдите все файлы GEN.
Каждое слово, которое вы видите, оканчивающееся на -FWB.mts, -FWC.mts, -FWD.mts, -FWS.mts, измените его на -FWA.mts (кроме shadow)
Пример с CMT 2020:
Переднее крыло:
Оригинал:
Изменено на максимальное качество:
Каждое слово, которое вы видите, оканчивающееся на -RWB.mts, -RWC.mts, -RWD.mts, -RWS.mts, измените его на -RWA.mts (кроме shadow)
Заднее крыло:
Оригинал:
Изменено на максимальное качество:
Каждое слово, которое вы видите, оканчивающееся на -VB.mts, -VC.mts, VD.mts, -VS.mts, измените его на -VA.mts (кроме тени)
Шасси
Оригинал:
Изменено на максимальное качество:
Могу ли я улучшить зеркальную графику простым редактированием текстового файла?
Вам просто нужен файл mirror.bmp более высокого качества в папке «Транспорт». Это все.

Прежде чем продолжить ответ на ваш последний вопрос, я расскажу вам о природе лодов в этой игре. Лод применяется по нескольким причинам:
1. Качество игры. Вы, вероятно, воспринимаете это как противоречие, но все игры применяют LOD, поэтому уменьшайте полигоны по мере удаления от определенного положения обзора. При разработке видеоигры принудительное доведение всего до максимального качества - непростительная ошибка. Я могу говорить за это, потому что я работаю в компании, занимающейся видеоиграми. В случае F1 Challenge это еще более актуально, потому что в F1 Challenge чем меньше количество полигонов, тем выше производительность. А коэффициент FFB прямо пропорционален количеству FPS в игре. Таким образом, меньшее количество полигонов = более высокое ощущение реализма благодаря более высокому коэффициенту FFB. Image Space Incorporated (люди, стоящие за F1C) рассматривали F1 Challenge как симулятор физики. Также VA в F1C имеет около 2000 полигонов (FWA и RWA около 500), Это означает, что наличие 3d моделей шасси и крыльев на одном уровне с оригиналом считается стандартным качеством в этом названии. Если вы понизите 400 000 полигональных автомобилей до 2000 в F1C, такое снижение качества объективно не является низким качеством в F1 Challenge.
2. Leech. Reducing the number of polygons and standardizing the quality of textures and models keeps people from leeching in F1C, as the quality will be poor for simulators such as rFactor2, Assetto Corsa, Race07 and others. Fortunately, lowering quality to standard does not mean poor quality. For textures, textures with a resolution of 1024x1024 should only be applied to the body. Textures below 1024x1024 are acceptable in F1 Challenge '99 -'02, but in modern simulators it's a different story. In the original game, 1024x1024 textures are used very sparingly, only on car models, other parts of the chassis and certain terrain on the track.
3. FPS. This game is played by many people from South America. Thus, many of them focus on making the mod playable for them, which is difficult for some of them to achieve due to their computer hardware. Not my case (I have an expensive laptop). I only play F1C for the reasons I wrote about recently in this post .
Where can I find a list of mods that enhance the regular game?

(I apologize for the early, because I use Google translation)
Thanks a lot for the explanations and links to the files. I am using the original game alongside dgVoodoo. I have several questions for you:
1. You write "Search all GEN files". The question is, how many are there in the original game? I found 2 files with this extension: 1-Generic_F1.gen and 2-Unique_Logo_Suspension.gen in the C: \ F1 Challenge 99-02 \ SeasonData \ Vehicles folder
2. You write "Every word you see ending in .......... ( except shadow )" But in the max quality FWing and RWing screenshots the SnadowObject strings are also changed, and in the SlotID screenshot the SnadowObject strings are not changed. It's right? I made changes in these 2 * .gen files as indicated in the "max quality" screenshots. FPS dropped a little, the response also decreased a little, but the quality of the cars does not change, this is very beautiful: thumbsup:
3. I copied the file mirror.bmp to the C: \ F1 Challenge 99-02 \ SeasonData \ Vehicles folder, but now only in the upper corner I see this very small mirror. How to fix it?
I made those same changes but I also did it to all the shadowobjects and now my game crashes to desktop everytime I try to load a track
Hi!
1. You only need to modify GenericF1.gen, because that's the gen file referenced by all the VEH files.
2. Hum, change RWD to RWA; VD, VC, and VB to VA; and change FWD to FWA. Don't change FWS and RWS.
FPS and response drop a little because you are using the A models only, which makes the game more "heavier". Since you have changed the VX, FWX and RWX in such a way that you only see the max quality models, you should see only them regardless of the distance. If you apply the change to the shadow, it will cause CTD probably. Shadow eats a lot of FPS so modders create a shadow as light as possible.
3. Sorry if it doesn't work for you. Delete it then! In F1C Multiplayer Discord someone made another mirror that has greater quality than the original F1C. Ask just in case, maybe they will help you.
You can do it that way too, but you have to modify 17 CAM files instead of just 1 GEN file.

There's something wrong with the engine files in F1 Ch 99-02. Most cars loose power at higher revs. For example, I'm fastest with the 1999 Minardi with the rev limit set to the minimum. Increasing the rev limiter only makes you slower which doesn't make sense. I checked the engine.ini files for many cars and it's like this for every car I checked.
In F1 of those years, cars would be faster with more power the higher they revved their engines but it would increase the chances of engine failure so they would rev their engines the highest during qualifying or if desperately needing extra power in the race. In F1 Ch 99-02 it's the opposite, the engines loose lots of power at max revs and it's better to keep the rev limiter and the lowest
How can I correct this? I have the engine.ini file open in the rFactor physics editor. Increasing the power numbers isn't that difficult but I have no idea what numbers to use for compression and torque...

Does anybody still have the "shadow fix"?1. Yes, there it is.
You can see what to do here: https://wookey.forumotion.com/t632-new-rules-of-the-forum-new-members-please-read
And here: https://wookey.forumotion.com/t1203...ow-us-why-we-should-add-you-as-a-member#60095
I recommend you to be part of the forum ONLY if you are an active modder, otherwise, the forum will throw you out eventually. The forum only allows active members compromised with something (mostly with uploading F1 pictures actively, being an active modder in F1C or rFactor). Some people wanted to help the modders just giving money, but most of the time they reject and prefer to have more modders.
Another major reason to restrict registration was this: https://wookey.forumotion.com/t510-about-assettocorsamods-org-sim-dream-development
A member called Luigi70 suffered leeching. Along with the inactive members that only registered but do not mod or collaborate uploading pictures, the idea of disallowing registration come to fruition and became a reality later.
2. I can do one for you (with all race by race variants) but my time is very limited (oppositions). Fixing and reupdating AIWs takes time (hours, even days for circuits such as Monaco). I will consider to do an effort if I see activity from you.
You can start downloading the vanilla game and proceed to install this to begin with:
File on MEGA
mega.nz
1. Yes, installing the EXE which patches the whole mod.

To both:
I was a moderator of Wookey's forum but I am not currently retired due to job reasons. I cannot open the door. Alfredo can. If you are not active as modders in F1C or don't want to be modders, don't bother to ask for registration since the forum is dedicated to content creators. It just better not be registered and download all their stuff for play. The forum only benefits modders and from a player perspective, you can download all their work equally (except private links like 1959 mod), registered or not.
Ask OLarrauri (Alfredino OLarrauri in FB) if you are interested to enter.
Alternatives:
Go to F1 Challenge VB or Constrictor Modding Team (both on Facebook). VB is oriented to VB players and CMT is oriented for modders who want to mod CMT.
