Shifter not recognized.
Just downloaded the VB version updated to 21.
Have G27 wheel, Simforge Pedals and VLN Shifter.
Only 2 are recognized. In the control assignment box I can see
the provisions for each gear, butt when assigning them there is no recognition of the shifter.
VLN Shifter works fine in GPL, GTR2 and AC.Anybody had similar issue, and found fix ?
Help appreciated

Let me attach a rare video of the 1999 Japanese Grand Prix race here, with excellent camera views on board. Great and natural look. To all Formula1 and F1 Challenge fans
I did all that and the game still has terrible pop-in. Many parts of the car are still changing as the car gets closer and far away. Parts of the car such as sidepods, suspension arms, brake cooling ducts (completely appearing & disappearing), and the driver's helmet are changing. Do I have to go to other parts of the .gen file and do the same thing (change the last letter to "a" like we did for the front wing, rear wing, etc.)?
UPDATE:
Almost all fixed. Other sections' lines have to be changed to the letter "a" as well. Also, both, the Unique_Logo_Suspension.gen and the Generic_F1.gen must edited. The 1999 Minardi responds to the Unique_Logo_Suspension.gen file but some other cars I tested seemed to respond to the Generic_F1.gen file.
I did all the sections: SLOT<ID> ("va"), SUSPENSION, HELMET, LFTIRE, LFSPINDLE, RFTIRE, RFSPINDLE, LRTIRE, LRSPINDLE, RRTIRE, RRSPINDLE, FWING, RWING. Change all the last letters like in the instructions quoted above to the letter "a" except for the "ShadowObject" lines, I didn't change those as per the instructions. There are two exceptions! If you don't do the following you will crash to desktop when the track finishes loading:
A) don't change the last line (second last line if you include ShadowObject line) in each of the four TIRE sections (LFTIRE, etc.). You must keep it at default letter "d". Eg. tlfd.MTS, trfd.MTS, etc.
B) don't change the very last line of the SUSPENSION section. You must keep it at default letter "b" (suspb.MTS). You can change all the other lines in the tire sections and the suspension sections and don't forget to do all this in both .gen files.
With all of these changes, the entire car (including suspension-arms, sidepods, driver's helmet, tyres) stays at full quality LOD except brake ducks. Brake ducks still completely disappear and reappear depending on distance. How can we fix that?
(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?View attachment 513543
Go to Microsoft Paint, resize the image so it's exactly either one of the following sizes: 512 x 256, 1024 x 512, or 2048 x 1024, colour the entire image solid black, save it as a bmp file (16 bit or 24 bit, it seems both work). Then paste that file into the season date -> vehicles folder. Then go to every SCN file for every track (SeasonData -> Circuits -> xxx). In each SCN file, you'll see the following line: Size=(128.0, 64.0) Center=(64.0, 32.0). Change the first two numbers (128.0, 64.0) to the exact same resolution of the bmp picture you're using. Eg. Size=(1024.0, 512.0) Center=(64.0, 32.0)
While you're in the SCN file, I advise to also change the top clipplanes (under View=mainview) to 50000 (default is around 1000 or 2000). For example, change ClipPlanes=(1.00, 1800.00) to ClipPlanes=(1.00, 50000.00). Do the same with the bottom clipplanes (under View=rearview) but you don't need 50000 because it's for your rearview mirror only so 1000 or 2000 is probably good enough. For example: change ClipPlanes=(1.00, 150.00) to ClipPlanes=(1.00, 2000.00).
@Spinelli have you managed to run f1c in triple screen?
In the past, i had success using a weird low 3000x400 something 3ple screen resolution in the 3dconfig and then, using dgvodoo, forcing the game to output in 7680x1440. The menus were a little buggy, but overall it worked fine.
Also, you have to edit the fov and seating position via cam files, fov is easy, but seating position is a big hassle as you have to figure it out for each car individually without being able to make live changes.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure it out still. The seating and view changes is no problem as I'm used to editing text files (been playing ISI sims for 20 years). I really wish I could figure it out. None of the custom EXE files have fixed it.
You can force the resolution via dgvoodoo; choose the higher available triple resolution in the 3dconfig (something super low but that you can multiply it to your current resolution), and in the directx tab in dgvoodoo force your desired resolution. It will work.
Hello today i downloaded the f-1 seven mod (the wole package with all seasons from 1970 to 1981) but the Game starts and crashes after the intro video. Even when i run it in compatibility mode. The vanilla game works perfect without compatibility mode.
There schould be something like a fixed exe made by poochihead but did not find that anywhere

F1C is far from dead. What's more, F1 Challenge in these times is as great as in the last year of RaceSimulations.
Poochihead and his guys created an exe that can be run automatically with 4GB patch using all cores. I was the guy who fixed the compatibility problems at the beginning through batched, but the fixes of these guys left my work obsolete.
To get rid of ALL the compatibilities, just use the EXE of these guys in any complete mod.

There is also a project for 8th gear. Hence, their 2020 mod will be a pre-final version. This version will include Quote from them:
"DRS will give more acceleration. I have designed my physics to make it very difficult to accelerate on the last gear in high revs. AI is not affected by this so is like they have DRS. With DRS the player accelerates faster so they can overtake. AI has optimized setup and higher speed in slow corners so it won't be too easy."
Some extra stuff with the menu: the difficulty is now configurable in track racing, expanded game options (tips for racing against AI, setup advice in-game, data about your car selected), and driving school guides (this is not in-game).
CMT 1990s and 2000s mods sucks indeed, as they are in alpha stage. Those mods are available for future development rather than for play. Give them time. A lot. Because the amount of work to do is downright brutal.
Or be part and help with the project. They are more than 40 people, modifying everything they can.
The guys from Wookey and CMT are both impeccable in ethics.
Can someone please help through how to properly install mods to this game? I have been exploring mods and many are huge mod compilations with multiple seasons included with a modified base game. I am initially right now though attempting to add a few tracks and cars to my base game but don't know how to get them to show in game. In the season data I see tracks and cars but I am apparently missing something to get them to show. I have a 1970 F1 car and wanted to have it race on a new track I added but in it's own season if possible to show up. If not I could just add it to a current base game season if need be.
My end game is to combine multiple mods like the all seasons mod (1950-2014) with the 2021 season release and any other season mods I can find. So I figured I might as well ask if it's possible to do this without the game crashing if these mods are all coming with modified base games?
WIP as far as I know. They will take a lot of time. The more help they receive, the sooner will release. Currently I'm helping them with 2021 F1 cars and AI refinement.

Hi folks,
Does anybody still have the ETCC 2003 Evolution mod for F1 Challenge? I cannot find any working links on the web, only for older versions. The original installer was a 255 MB executable. If any of you still have it, could you upload it? Thank you!
