F1 1996 season

Diego Offspring · Dec 30, 2017

Hello everyone!

Would anyone be interested in a F1 1996 season mod for Automobilista?
I have almost all the cars finished, only some details are missing and I really have little time to dedicate. I really want to know if there is interest in it, otherwise i dont want to keep wasting my time.
To be honest, i have poor skills for tweaking the physics and i haven't a decent rig to test everything.

Sorry for my poor english,
Thank you!

It would be nice, but how?

Open your installation folder, f.e.:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Automobilista\GameData\Vehicles\F_Reiza

When you scroll down, you find a couple of .ini files, which define the performance of the car. And the veh files of each car, which refer to those ine files.

hi dear Diego,
first of all thanks a lot for this mod, for my all is started on 96

for use the reiza's physics you must put this line in the veh file for each vechicles:
HDVehicle= formulav12/formulav12 (in this way the car have the same physic of formula v12 Reiza !! ) i use this "cheat" for the imported mod like 2017/2018 from rfactor,in that way i got a 8 gear !!
NB: im not sure for the lexical right about "formulav12/formulav12" i will check it when i go out of my work

For the converted rfactor 1996 mod I use, I have set it up to use the F_V10 physics. I created a 1996 folder in the F_V10 vehicles folder. Works a treat. Can then use the upgrades file to adjust team performance.

the right line to edit in the veh file is this:

HDVehicle=F_V12\F_V12.hdv in this way you got a Reizas physics !

Hi to both of you! I've tried this method and I couldn't figure out how to make changes with the "upgrades.ini".
It has no effect when an upgrade it's activated. I wanted to change the engine.ini file for another one with the upgrade but it doesn't work.
Sorry, I'm not an expert with this kind of things

Edit: I managed to get it.
Now working on team performance differences, thanks!

So is this mod still alive? I think I replied earlier in the thread using an old account replicaz1427, again I'm happy to help with the physics.

I'm still working on it, little by little you know. But looking forward!

Hi Guenette, last weeks were very difficult for me in terms of time because I been more hours away from home. But I swear I will release this mod, completed or beta

Guess it will be released in the next 2/3 months. Sorry for this delay

M.Guenette · Sep 17, 2018

Thanks Diego ...
I will keep waiting patiently

M.Guenette · Dec 19, 2018

Hey Diego,
We've officially hit the 3 month mark ! Any info on a release date ? Still super excited to drive a 96 F1 car!!

jason_peters · Dec 26, 2018

Hi! I'm having issues with the desktop pc, my gpu gave up and this is delaying me so bad.
Since a month or so i'm using a laptop which is pretty underpowered!
Sorry for this, I really want to release it but things like that happen so please be patient

Yep, PM me if you need to, it's fairly simple to do

Dethrone1427 · Jan 2, 2019

Just take the base files from the game, change the names so that they are identical to the names used in the .veh files and then point the .SRS file to the location of the talent files and for the mod to make use of them. It's a shame you didn't take me up on the offer to help with physics etc. I'll wait till you release the mod then edit and create my own fun! Keep up the work mate.
