[REL] F1 1979 HISTORIC EDITION 2.02 BY POSTIPATE

@Mauro @Postipate Thanks for the replies. It was quite some time ago, but I remember the readme alone frightened me. They said they changed the physics, and they finally lost me when I saw that they removed cars.
Considering this, I didn't bother going further than the showroom (so I certainly missed the updated graphics), because someone who removes cars this way definitely can't be doing a good job

 

Nice video, but most likely from 1980

 

A beautiful Lotus 79 onboard in revival event at Laguna Seca.
Lot of correction and trottle lift. But much fun

 

I can be wrong, but side skirts are banned and removed in these races for ground effect cars.

Nice video! I love his driving

 

You are correct, skirt are not permitted on ground effect cars in vintage racing.

 

Thanks for confirmation

 

Some criticize a mod (free work, hours, days and months dedicated to a passion of the simulators)
Asked them:
How many mods did you make or did you convert?...to criticize as an expert!
Download the mod?

Thanks ari!

 

great....ill try to stop in , nice to see at least a few online for this

 

Well, I did quite a few tracks, worked on cars too, so I know quite well how it is to get criticism. But nice try dude.

 

Okay...So that enables you to criticize something, without having tested it!
"Congratulations, you're an expert"

 

....says someone who didn't understand the concept of quality and dedication

 

I don't think I claimed to be an expert, you're the one sarcastically calling me one. I asked a simple question to the people working on the mod, they replied, it's the point of a forum.
Next try you try the "how many mods did you make", you'll look less silly if you make sure the guy you ask indeed never modded before.

 

Ok, just tried to join the server with 1966 Monte Carlo, download starts, then stops, says "Bad File Discriptor", what up with that ?

 

All tracks are ISI tracks go to Steam workshop and download tracks from there.

 

Ok, thanks Ari, again if anyone wants to convert them, I have all 15 79' rF1 tracks zipped up, be happy to send them they looked quite good in rF1.

"With only Ferrari and Renault on Michelin tires, Villeneuve was able to use seven sets of qualifiers in the final session, while the Goodyear runners had only two sets per car. On his final charge, Villeneuve switched off his rev limiter at the end of the straight, raising the revs by 200 to 12,600 and giving him enough extra speed to pip Reutemann by six hundredths of a second. Scheckter was third, ahead of the two Ligiers of Patrick Depailler and Jacques Laffite, then Mario Andretti in sixth."

Quite badass

 

F1 1988 mod has trackpack. The problem is that F1 1988 is encoded
