    Kinda resembles the AAR Eagles from the Indy 500 in the mid 70's. I guess the correct way to word that, is Gurney's AAR Eagles resemble the Brabhams.

    Hey Bears,
    I'm not sure this is the best way to get in touch with you....I got the 1972 cars to work OK, but the other two sets from earlier don't seem to work with Fi 70s mod. The version number has changed from 0.94 to 0.97, is this relevant? I tried both methods of installation and have had no joy with either. Any suggestions? I downloaded them from Race Dept today.

    Both options should work ok.

    You need to start with this as this is the latest version.
    install 1.JPG

    If you use the MAS install just copy the MAS file into the 0.97 folder it will work and the cars show in game as below

    upload_2022-8-2_9-34-16.png

    If you use the RFCMP install you will see the following after instalation

    install 2.JPG
    The only difference is that the RFCMP version has a talent file and it effects the drivers speed trying to replicate the 72 season.
    Note this install will also change the version of the base install cars but this is a 397 packaging thing and can't be avoided (Chief has previously given me the ok to release the mod as a stand alone I still might do this but not in the near future)
    upload_2022-8-2_9-37-45.png

    Also note if you install this way, if you have other MAS files you wish to add in the future, to see them in game they need to be placed in the "0.97b_1972_F1_Season" folder or else they will not show up in game.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Bears, I tried again to install the RCMP file and in the list of Packages in RF2 it shows a Version No of 0.94_Rc. When I try to install the package there is an error message that says that the base mod is missing. Is it something related to the Version Number? The other 1972 Package has a Version No of 0.97b_1 and it has installed without any problems.

    It sounds like you have the v0.94 installed you need to have V0.97 like in my screen shot above and no other folders as your starting point. I would delete the "F1_70's_Style" folder all together (keep a copy of any mas files you may want of course) and let steam reinstall it assuming you are subscibed to it, then check the folders look like my screen shot above

    if they do then you should be ok to install the 72 addon by either method

    The 1972 Package has installed correctly. The installation in RF2 does look like the screenshot above, but it's the Rothmans F5000 and the USA F5000 sets that are not behaving as they should. It is these ones that are showing the 0.94 version name. I have tried just loading the MAS file in the F1 70's Style directory but that has done anything either.

    Thanks Bears....That worked. I was placing the MAS files in the 0.97 folder (duh). Now that I put in the 0.97b_1972_F1_Season folder the cars are visible. I have just been tearing around Bridgehampton in the Matich. Fantastic!!
    What I don't understand, is how come the F5000 cars do not appear under the F170 heading? I thought that they would be attached to the F170 heading? Does that also mean that the F1_1967 cars are also part of this mod? This mod style is becoming a real game changer for these types of cars. There's a sports car one in the works too.
    Thanks again for your help..

    Where they appear in game is purely driven by the category line in the veh file like below
    Category="F170, Formula One World Championship, 1970, March"
    When chief did the F5000 veh he used the following category
    Category="F5000_70,70s_F5000"
    I just followed this naming convention, they are the same mod they use f5000 physics but are not F1 cars so thats why i guess Chief did this...

    Have fun...
