Could someone please explain to me how to edit the driver pictures (the ones before the race)?
Planning to add it to my career progression mod for more realism

hello, where can you increase the AI car damage?

Hey all! I'm currently trying to modify the classic car helmets so I can have a helmet other than the usual Arai helmet. However, I've tried to modify the XML file in the 1980's ERP file, and this happens instead:

Any ideas on what this is caused by?

So for anyone who's remotely interested in this, I did some digging and this is a no-go.

The 1980's .erp doesn't have any helmets except for Arai models stored in it, and replacing that with files from the 2017 .erp isn't working because some of the .idf-files have paths hard-baked into them that aren't in the 1980's one.

You can definitely upload your texture straight into the erp though!

I've been successful creating my own helmet design. However, the design results in what looks like a terrible resolution image. The lines are not straight and appear blurry. I know it takes a few seconds to render. I have the template from here. What resolution does the DDS file have to be?

4096x4096

Yes, the textures are in 4096x4096, but keep in mind the templates and models you find on here are from an older game.
They work for basic design work, but it's not a one-to-one with the new game. Things like latches, visor screws, etc. are a bit off. If you're looking for straight lines or something like that, you're better of pulling a texture from the game and using that as a template.

Increase this value:

So, I'm an absolute noob to modding games. But I would like to know if it is possible to change the performance of the cars? Because for example at the moment a team like Haas won't become a front-runner by itself in game and Ferrari and Mercedes will always stay top 3 teams. How should I try to do this, if possible?

pretty simple, copy paste

 

[TheSevi]

Am I the only one that every time you have mods installed in F1 2017 has enough lag and a bad optimization?

Career mode works fine for me :O

So guys, question for y'all...

I'm trying to find out where the textures/files for the driver's name on the side of the cockpit are kept... Does anyone have any idea?

[EDIT] Nevermind, got it!

I found it is possible to edit only my car in career mode.
It means we can NOT edit other teams in career mode.

and I found it is impossible to edit car performance after melbourne.

Driver numbers I think

 

[y00pdl]

Driver numbers I think

Yeah, driver numbers in the team's .erp

There's no apparent mapping on the generic driver numbers so it wasn't obvious to me. Until after about an hour of searching I scrolled past the numbers of the drivers in the team...

I take it you're now gonna edit your name in, as well as your number on the suit?
