Complete V6 Hybrid Engine Audio - OSD/LCD Display - Tire/Effects - Car Track & Balance Update Final

Hi Guys

This is a basic update to bring my main overview page inline with all my other updates and have made the installation much easier. I've also made some minor changes to the OSD files and updated all my latest steering wheels with camera files.

With the steering wheels I've completely reworked all steering wheels with new textures, colors, buttons, lights, specocc files, new info pods, interior files and the steering wheels are all setup perfectly with new camera files for optimal race and TV pod views.

Hope you guys like, have fun

Hi Guys

So here we have my final version with this mod. There are several changes within the different files so to get the full benefit I would recommend that you install the complete mod.

2016 V6 Hybrid Engines & Environment Audio Sounds

Updated Ferrari, Mclaren Honda and Mercedes audio car setup file. All engine and gear shifting sounds have being centered (left/right speaker channels) for both Headphone and Loud Speaker Systems.

Redesigned OSD Game Display

New race position and gap times display box and new Rolex logos. There's also a new Osd main and frontend d_osd folder which will resize the OSD displays (smaller) ,adjust or change the fonts and is compatible with any Season mod.
Added new Rev holding box with smoother edges

Updated Tire Grip & Car Balance Files

- New Car Balanced files
- Updated Car Tack files
- No more excessive rear wheel spin
- Improved acceleration
- Improved cornering
- Improved corner exit speed
- Improved handling

With the new Car Balanced files the car will be a lot more stable around corners with improved corner entry and exit speeds.

With the updated Car Track files I've improved the tire grip levels for all cars, this allows you to exit corners much quicker and follow AI cars with out loosing time due to the lack of grip or excessive wheel spin. You can also be a bit more aggressive with curbs now. In general the car is easier to manage, feels more balanced with the extra grip levels and you'll definitely feel the difference immediately. Lap times will improve and as a bonus I've added all 12 additional tracks with track/balance files for circuits like Korea/Mexico, Nurburgring, Estoril, Imola, Valencia, Jerez etc.

P.S. You may find that some of your previous car track setups may not be ideal anymore. With more track grip, better balance, the ability to attack curbs, I found that a touch more down force and lower ride height gives me the best results in general.

I also recommend that you turn the traction control off and give it a proper go!

Installation guide:

- Always Back-up your files!

- In the main folder select the Grip_Track_Balance & New Tires file
- Open the 2014 folder and copy the cars file into the games main directory

Things to remember. If you update your liveries, remember not to overwrite the track and balance files in this update. If you are unsure just copy this update into your cars directory once you have updated your liveries.

Hi Guys

Since the steering wheels do form part of the cars interior and a big part of the visual experience of the game I thought this would make a great add-on for everybody to enjoy.
I've put together all my latest steering wheel designs for all F1 Teams in one package to go hand in hand with all my livery designs for easy installation.

P.S. The steering wheels work only with the chassis that the liveries are designed on.

Steering Wheel = the chassis that the livery is designed on

Mercedes = Mercedes
Red Bull = Red Bull
Ferrari = Redbull
Force India - Red Bull
Williams = Williams
Mclaren Honda = Red Bull
Torro Rosso = Torro Rosso
Hass = Redbull
Renault = Red Bull
Sauber = Red Bull
Manor = Red Bull

All steering wheels have my new info pod design with realistic textures and HD Led lights.

- Special thanks to fluffydave with his awesome designs for Force India, Torro Rosso & Manor Racing steering wheels

Hi Guys

In this update I have made some adjustments to the race view camera file settings. With Red Bull and all the liveries designed using the Red Bull chassis I found that with the previous version being to close to the steering wheel made judging apex's and taking corners a bit harder. With all the new settings this should give you better accuracy, smoother cornering and all this would obviously improve your lap times.

Have fun

Hi guys

Update details:

- New improved yellow tire wall color (cars rendermaterial file)

Update details:

- Improved redesigned OSD
- Drivers gap times are now displayed with the SkySports OSD for better visibility
- New design for REV and GEARS holding box (clean slick design without ugly white borders and improved REV dot glow)

Update details:

- Improved audio setup for Mercedes AMG Petronas
- Engine sounds are now centered and crisper

A good track to test Mercedes's new engine sound would be Hungary with all the slow and high speed corners.

There's nothing worse than having the perfect game setup with all liveries, graphics, sounds, effects, track updates and then you car camera files are just not what you want. In this update I have made camera files for each Team Manufacturer based on the chassis's that the cars are designed on.

Special thanks to Large Style, without his excellent ground work none of these camera modifications would be possible.

Also in the update I have made some adjustments to Mclaren's new engine audio setup. Engine sounds are now centered and crisper.

Camera file update:

I've setup and made adjustments to the all camera's so that they match the chassis's that the cars are designed on. With the race view camera I've taken a few things into account, the drivers helmet distance to the steering wheel, the wheel angle, height and distance to the apex or corner while still trying to keep it as realistic as possible and still game friendly.

Manufacturer+Camera = Livery design+Chassis setup

Mercedes = Mercedes
Red Bull = Red Bull
Ferrari = Red Bull
Force India = Red Bull
Williams = Williams
Mclaren = Redbull
Torro Rosso = Torro Rosso
Hass = Red Bull
Renault = Red Bull
Sauber = Red Bull
Manor = Red Bull

P.S. If your livery is designed on a different chassis simply take the manufactures chassis camera file in the download and place it your cars's file

Update details:

- New audio carsetup file and settings for Mclaren Honda
- Engine sounds are more centered and crisper
- Improved down shifting sounds through the gears
- Awesome engine and turbo sounds through the gears
- Small improvement to environment sounds

A good track to test Mclaren Honda's new engine sound would be Hungary with all the slow and high speed corners.

Download Mclaren Honda Team Package here:
http://www.racedepartment.com/downl...ed-livery-design-steering-wheel-garage.10878/

P.S. I recommend that you copy the new content onto a clean copy of the original 2014 Audio game folder.

Also make adjustments to your in game audio settings for optimal engine and effects/environment sounds.
From the game home screen go to MY F1/SETTINGS/AUDIO, adjust effects to 80% or 90%, vehicle to 100% and adjust the speech to your liking.

System graphics patch update:

- Added new SweetFX_D3D9, D3D10, D3D11 and OPENGL files with new settings
- Added surface_materials file. (file located in the main folder and goes in the main game directory)

Installation:

2. Open zip file
3. Unpack and copy / overwrite

P.S. If you install or copy any other mods over this remember that you will loose different features in this complete package

Hi Guys

Have spent a few hours alone just on Mercedes testing different engine mapping settings and all the new engine sounds to get it to where it is now. Engine and Turbo sounds are incredible together with up and down gear shift changes. The sound is very distinctive and I have tested the car on a variety of tracks. Overall I am very happy with the new sounds. Have fun with her.

Hi Guys

As per my last update I noticed some limitations with wheel spin smoke, exhaust flames and a few other odds and ends. I have made some adjustments and updates to the effects file also added better textures and new HD RainBeads_textures. This should improve your overall game and visual experience.

P.S. I recommend that you install/copy the effects file over a clean original version of the 2014 game. The postprocess/RainBeads_textures is a stand alone file so there's no worry's there.

Have fun
