Build 2.20, March 07th, 2024:
- added 2024 season
NOTE: 2024 season all helmets are painted black carbon

NEW FULL DOWNLOAD AND STEAM SUBSCRIPTION AT https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2946799888
I remember to you that the old Steam ID build 2.00 is dismissed and the Steam ID of the current build 2.02 is new.
It means that, in certain case, you could still have the old 2.00 available into Steam folder and/or rFactor 2 folder.
If you want to look at, please follow this advice:
- check and in case delete the Folder steamapps\workshop\content\365960\1769899289
- check the folder ..\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles\SMMG Formula 3 Series and if there still is a 2.00 subfolder. If yes, delete it.
Now you are sure to have a clean installation of build 2.02 and further

================
Some considerations:
1. the mod has the final physics and tuned to the performances of the real cars, validated and tested by F3 engineer and some driver, even if we are still fine tuning also depending of little adjustment to the real car made by Dallara and FIA!
2. the settings are the suggested values of Dallara, but can be highly improved with a better setup
3. the steering wheel is working with all gauges of real car (some limitations depend of the lack of code in rF2)
4. added SEASON 2019 with few little differences to the 2020 (no TPMS gauge on steering wheel, no ride sensor, different TPMS cam antenna, different gear-per-track options)
5. added SEASON 2021 with different mass and inertia due to changes in regulations by FIA
6. added SEASON 2022 with different steering wheel due to changes in regulations by FIA
7. added SEASON 2023 with updated gear ratio for 2023 tracks due to doc by FIA
8. added SEASON 2024 with updated gear ratio for 2023 tracks due to doc by FIA
9. SEASONS 2019 - 2020 - 2021 - 2022 - 2023 - 2024 use same templates

I personally would thank Chris Payne for the love deserved in the years to all our developments. He now on stops painting due to the several duties at work, family and mainly dedicated to volunteering activities in helping at-risk young people.

Merci for the exciting news, Marco. You and your Slo Mo team's dedication to producing superb mods is greatly appreciated by many of us here. Looking forward to giving the '19 F3s a go - they already look fast ;-)
 
One question, just curiosity: Do you already have enough data to finish the mod before the beginning of the championship (if the data is enough, not if it will be released before)...
 
atm no new docs have been released, but it should happen in the next days, so we'll look at differences vs. the GP3 18 on physics side... I'm almost sure that we'll be able to have the mod working correctly on physics side much anticipated vs. 3D. And, when the mod will be ready we'll must wait for months for the liveries.
Maybe we could release the first build with temporary neutral skins... but now it is too early for debating about it.

BTW, let me wish Merry Xmas and Happy 2019 to all mates here in the forum!
 
Happy New Year and all the best for 2019.

Was kindly alerted to this thread because I asked for a Dallara F3 (well, F306, 309, 312 and 319) for rf2. Thanks for taking on this mod - very much looking forward to it!
 
Really interesting project! I'm looking forward to it as I'm really appreciating your GP3 2018 Series. I've tried a lot of sims and mods, but your GP3 is the most realistic I've ever driven in terms of physics (and braking feeling with my G29). Keep up!
 
Teams received the first car, but without engine and gearbox.

We finished to compare data of the car with the gp3 and I can confirm that differences are into front suspension geometry that also affects the wheelbase and of course in rF2 chassis file too.

An interesting improvement has been done in the steering wheel ratio, now variable in 3 steps.

When teams will get the engine, I hope they will get also the power engine curve to discover if really the car has 20hp less than gp3 and with the whole car assembled engineers will know total mass and cg, now only calculated.

I'm starting entering new data and modified data vs. Gp3 into the Borda's SS, then our engineer in the group will review them, fix my mistakes and enter all data that I'm not able to enter (I suppose a lot!).

We still need to restart / continue modeling by scratch the car, due to some personal duties of Chris for several weeks and also because the other artist is very busy with the other project we are developing and that will be a big surprise... Thank you for attention.
 
The more I use the GP3 2018 the more I love it! You have to be really focused to do long runs in order to avoid the understeer behaviour and to be precise in braking. I'm using a G29 and I'm glad to have found a mod like this that replicate the real feeling of the brake of a race car: short travel of the pedal and all the braking calibrated by the pressure on it. Every mod I tried in the past, on rF2 and other sims, was designed for a braking depending on the travel of the pedal, which I've learned it's not like IRL.
Thank you guys :D
I hope for a even better F3 2019 mod :p
 
Hi, good night!
Any news, pictures or something?? I'm racing GP3 cars almost everytime I open rF2, one of my favourite cars, and I would love to have more news about the progress of this amazing mod!
 
I have a question for SlowMotion.

Even if the mod is WIP, do you think physics/driving/FFB will be very similar between GP3 and F3 ?

I said that I did not inquire about the differences IRL, many or few, between these two cars.

Thank you !
 
The differences between the GP3 and F3 2019 are mainly on front suspension and this acts on steering wheel too with just few little different Dallara suggested settings... cars are very closed.

One difference in the racing rules vs. the 2018 GP3: The F3 2019 Technical Regulations Article 4.3.4. will stipulate “ ….The rear top biplane wing assembly angle is limited to a maximum of 16 degrees during races…..”

We have also received the aero data, the spreadsheet of Dallara.

But the development is stalling because I "missed" the 2 people that were modeling this car and the cars of another project I started long time ago. On physics side PLAYLIFE is almost finished his job, but I'd like to re-enter data into a newer build of the Physics Calculator to get latest updates.

On physic side we can say the new F3 is very closed to the GP3 of the 2018 and we’ll use it as base for the development: this is a quality guaranty!

Correct me if I'm wrong but since last GP3 release there haven't been significant changes in rF2's physics engine and tech.
For instance GTE tires have little bit updated model, but GP3 tires use quite recent CPM version and what's interesting, build based on real Pirelli data (at least hard compound, I'm not sure about others).
I hope F3 physics will also be tuned/refined based on real F3 drivers feedback. As I understand, even if modders have access to
detailed and accurate data and know how to correctly input them, then still rF2's engine limitations / inaccuracies(?) can make end result quite different in therms of handling and even telemetry.
