Thanks a lot! that did it! there's a normal map as well for the names, how would i go about editing that one? can the alpha channel be used to generate a normal map? thanks a lot!

Yes it can.

Use the nvidia plugin, will be in the filter drop down menu.

Play around with a few settings to get familiar with it, just to start giving you an idea of whats what.
 
Hey guys, I'm working on my first mod, a Fantasy 2014 season and I planned to use 2012 3D models for it. I tested them in game and they worked but just a small problem. The textures are messed up. Even when I use the original ones from 2012. Can somebody clear this out for me? Thanks.
 
@ Koeloe

what value should i change for increasing the weight of the wheel ??
i have Microsoft wheel, and the game setting wont let me change the default value of 50%
 
You don't really need a mod. It is just 1 value that you have to change in notepad and play around with:

Open the 'effectsetup.xml' file in FFB folder and change:

<FFBSurface scale="0.09" name="TARMAC" ( the default is 0.0)

I use 0.1 or 0.09:thumbsup:

This advice worked absolutely perfect for me. Thanks.
 
Anyone kind enough to explain all that rea text mean so i can make myself a mod that has practice session in light rain but qualifying is sunny but race is light rain again ?? Thanks for the concern :thumbsup:

I actually sent a message to the author of last years ffb mod,see above link, saking wether he'll make a mod for this year's game or is it all right to just use it right away,but havent got a reply yet..Anyway I use the same mod and it's justt much much much more superior to the default, booooooring ffb feel.
Go ahed you guys and try it.!!!!
Yeah I sent him a message too but no reply :( I'll give it a go with last years xml

I haven't done or tried this but i suppose you can change some of these values?


<FFBEffectSteering scale="1" frictionThresholdLow="0" frictionLow="50" frictionThresholdHigh="70" frictionHigh="20" forceScale="1" forceThresholdLow="0" forceLow="0.2" forceThresholdHigh="70" forceHigh="1"/>
 
Good Morning All,

I would like to change the Database so my tyres last 2-3 laps longer. I can see that there is a Download for this but it is a database.bin file which I assume of I copy that over mine I will loose my current Career??

Can anyone tell me how to edit the DB for this setting so I can manually change it my self so I dont have to restart the game again?

Sorry, its probably a stupid question but if someone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful

Thanks

Ray
