[REL] F1 1979 HISTORIC EDITION 2.02 BY POSTIPATE

First F1 to have a sequential box was the Ferrari 640 of 1989

 

@Ari Antero Well done Ari, I almost forgot it...

 

Do you know that if you turn off YAW game don`t stutter in turns and how to use ALT+TAB when you have fullscreen problems and game is unfocused and have lag and input lag?

 

@Ari Antero No, I did not know, but I always use camera "LockToCockpit" (RealHeadMotion), and no fake movement neither yaw or else!
For the ALT+TAB, I go "ingame", pause it (or not) and do the trick... and it has never sort out anything of the stutterings; nonetheless the very last build decreased them a bit (memory optimisation), but it remains laggy and unsync/unfocused... and unfortunately still unplayable.

 

Not only sequential but it was also the first paddle shift box in f1.

 

there is pick up racing tonight - www.premiersimracing .com is the server - 79's at dijon....spread the word - 9 eastern or thereabouts

 

Site not working

 

Im always lurking here

 

Congrats Posty on a very nice mod that is fun to drive!
I lowered the ride height a bit and it was even more fun to drive!
Great job on the physics and FFB as a lot of mods don't do that well.
Looking forward to further refinement of the little things.
Thank you!

 

Thank you eric!
Yeah there is still work to do with this, but starting to shape very good.
Have you got any problems while using lower ride height? I fear it would cause getting stuck in curbs so i wont set it lower by default

 

I did not have any problems lowering the ride height but I only lowered it by 1/2 cm. I also reduced the packers to 0.5. I could feel the added ground effect (or something...Ha!) but that was only a 8 lap run on hard tyres. This is at Toban 1:28.6...FW07 (35 laps total). Usually you get a lot of bump steer in converted mods but this was nice. I need to do more driving and some longer runs but it is most promising. Thank you again for what must be a labor of love for you.

 

Yeah if i could get money for this I would make cars 24/7 im sure @ChiefWiggum thinks the same

 

Hey man you never know. Build up your reputation in the community with your good work and good things could happen. Quality work is hard to find and so many mods are just for show and don't drive worth a damn.

 

this. there are guys in the industry, that have started by modding. you boys keep it up, and you'll have all the possibilities in the world

me too have zero problems so far with lower ride height on the tracks that have been on the official server.
on bumpier tracks (like monaco) i noticed that packers 0.6-0.8 and height 5.6-5.8 have eliminated bottoming out, so i haven't had to go higher than that anywhere so far.
smooth track surfaces like the spielberg conversion (that also has no kerbs to lean against) i been able to go even as low as 0.2 packers and 5.3 height without problems.
and i haven't got stuck (like on top of kerbs) anywhere so far.

 

Downloaded the mod yesterday. I really have to say that this mod is excellent. I'm not a big fan of ow cars, I prefer gt cars. But these rockets are the best ow cars I have driven for a long time. One small thing that could be improved are the....damn I forgot the name. I mean the pics in the vehicle selection.
Very well done. Thank you very much and keep up your fantastic job. Cheers

 

what do you mean ?- thats the server we were on - no get mod working unfortunately the cars are too big

In real life they had around 0-7 seconds differences with the lap times on quali, so there is huge caps on laps in reality too.
Site link was not working.

Wait for LE version, so you can race with it. Williams is defenetly the easiest one to drive with default setup
