Does disabling kers for all teams make the racing better in your opinion?

Yeah, for me it's more fun without KERS. I love the old way to drive and to concentrate completely on driving without any boosts. But I think everybody has to test it on their own, it's just my opinion!

EDIT: You can also disable KERS and change all engines from 750 PS to 832 PS. It's like you have KERS all time ;-) I did it for some test races.

Where do you edit the HP? In the database.bin? Which field?

Yeah, you need to edit multiple fields. f1_teams (engine_power), engine_manufacturer (Power), ai_engine_power_per_tier (all tiers). These were the fields I updated and it worked for me!

Every Version Effects AI but i was Managing to Balance their Performance.
So they will be a Bit slow.

Really nice to know. I'll be likely using this mod if AI is also... let's say 'conservative' to reach the end of the race just as you are.

Kartik Sri Harsha · Feb 10, 2013

sayonarap The AI is already conservative if you ask me. It seems the Aggression levels of AI in DB effected their Damage Level. So i need some more testing.
A New update will follow by Tuesday or Wednesday

Great news

Kartik Sri Harsha · Feb 11, 2013

I also request more feedback from People as it will allow me to choose what way should i follow either it was aggressive or Conservative

I know but i need to look for other players too i had a Report that even in 2.2 which was Less aggressive than 2.8 which is current one Players are getting DNF so i need more feedback to decide the way.

I've tried it on a 100% race @ valencia, But on lap 37 my gearbox starts missing gears and it's not possible to compete. I'm driving with all assists off.

My younger brother tried it on his f1 2012 and he's using all assist, and the same happens.
After 50% of the race the gearbox starts to fail and it's not possible to finish the race.

I know that with manual shifting, when you shift wrong the gearbox can fail, but it does the same with auto gears

Hey man, do you know if its possible to get the tires to over heat? Like if you push too hard, can we make the tires get too hot and speed up the degradation, which forces us to back off and cool the tires a bit.

As far as i know there is nothing to change the tire temp's. Probably they are coded in exe but if i find some thing then i will let you guys know

hi,
really nice work so far. Regarding the current question, if the mechanical problems should be more aggressive or conservative. i think, it depends on the race length.

it would be really nice if you could publish more versions of this mod depending of the race length. so maybe a mod which is a bit more aggessive for races of 25%, and a mod which is a bit more conservative for race distances of 50% or 100%.

i drive only 25% races and i would prefer a mechanical problems mod which is more aggressive.

Kartik Sri Harsha · Feb 14, 2013

Update: The Effects has been slowed down a bit.
Feedback is needed to improve the effects.
First Post Updated.

Version 3.0

remydeleeuw · Feb 14, 2013

Going to test it next thing when I'm at home.
Expect feedback in about 4 hours.

Kartik Sri Harsha · Feb 14, 2013

There will be a new Version based on the Feedback. And i'm planning to release the next version with my Database.

remydeleeuw · Feb 14, 2013

My brother is testing it now.
After 10 laps of monza. The engine is somewhat brown same collor as tyres after 15 laps and the gearbox isn't colored yet
