"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalm 23)

Original post by Neiln, 10th April:

This new mod includes all the variations in cars and drivers for the 17 teams that qualified for at least one race in 1982. I have made the physical models and graphics as accurate as possible for each team and race; my obsessive-compulsive tendencies have reached their peak with 1982. Be sure to use the tracks I've included because those also used in 1981 have the graphics editing (especially around the starting lines) that I did for that season. As the screenshot below indicates, you won’t race under a proper Campari bridge at Monza otherwise. The material names in the vehicle .mts files have been consolidated, so this version of 1982 should run faster and more smoothly than my earlier conversion of Pedro Rippingcorpse’s GP4 mod. (Starts, with all the cars in one place, still tend to be FPS-heavy; the vehicle liveries are almost all 2048x2048 pixels.) Every part of the cars (spindles, etc.) has been detached as well as the driver bodies (so no more headless bodies in retired cars). This mod is intended to be a standalone; copy the folders over a clean installation of F1 Challenge '99-'02 (i.e., the original game with the Audio, Options, Save, and Seasondata folders removed).

I have also re-uploaded my earlier race-by-race mods for 1979-1985, in order to consolidate all four seasons in one place. If you already have those seasons I’ve included a collection of fixes I’ve done for them since they were released. One note on those seasons: in working on 1982 I puzzled over why the cars dragged their backfires around at some tracks and not others, and discovered that the fix was simple—replace the FogMode line in the track .scn file with one from a track that works correctly with backfires. I have not gone back and incorporated that fix in the earlier seasons, so you may encounter the problem. Speaking of backfires, if you would like to add Jalnervion’s Special Effects 11.1 you can find the files necessary in the Circuits and Vehicles folders with the names “Joseterrain” and “JoseCmaps.”

CREDITS:
This mod would not have been possible without the great carset created by Pedro RippingCorpse for Grand Prix 4; I thank him for his permission to use his work. A few backmarkers are conversions from Varjanta’s rFactor mod for 1982; he also improved the accuracy of some of the engines in the GP4 mod (on which the bulk of his mod is based), which was particularly helpful in the case of Renault. (I did the new bodywork around his exhaust pipes.) I also owe thanks to Luigi 70, who gave me a good start on the Ligier JS17, for which I finished the graphics; to Paul/On Mario for his work on cars and ancillary graphics for earlier seasons, much of which remains in 1982; and to Daniel/d4nf1c for teaching me the editing methods that made this upgrade possible. And, like everyone else, I am massively indebted to Wookey for maintaining this website and his Facebook page devoted to F1 photography and F1 Challenge. I couldn’t have done this without the collection of race-by-race photos assembled by him and many others. I’m not sure anymore which tracks are my conversions from rFactor and which ones were done by someone else or come from a different source. The great Track Megaupdate 1.02 1982-1996 was helpful to my editing for 1981.

I hope everyone enjoys the mod(s). There are six files to download for each season; the seventh link in each case is to the folder containing all six, which is going to be well over 1 GB. I've relied almost entirely on screenshots from the spinner so that the details I slaved over show up!

I tried this version of CREW-F1 to start my 1971 season from a perfectly clean install. Not a single modification besides renaming 1971drivers folder as Drivers.

The game loads, and the video starts and goes to the end.
Then appears the blue Tyrrell... and... CTD
I used the trace.exe that gives this :

TRACE LEVEL = 2
NetComm.cpp 6949: NetComm checking command line: "-trace=1000"
game.cpp 360: Entered Game::Enter()
osman.cpp 420: Entered OSMan::Enter()

Is there anything I missed in installation procedure?

You have to put a file (.tbc) in the vehicle folder, according to what is in the .hdv file of all cars.

1971_M1910_Gethin_WF.veh
HDVehicle=1971_M19A.hdv

1971_M19A.hdv
TireBrand=1971_Tyres

That is ... 1971_Tyres.tbc
Check all .hdv files for each car from Season 1971. See if the Vehicle folder has all the .tbc file types (tires) that cars require.

OR

Some car is missing the .tbc file in your folder. Check each team's cars folder and see which one is missing the .tbc file... If it's not in the car folder, the game will ask you to be in the Vehicle folder.
Make this option first which is the easiest ...

If that's not what you want ... I'm sorry! I must have misunderstood!

Thanks... but this is curious as I Downloaded the full pack from Lee. (link above) Knowing how perfect his work usually is, I'm very surprised that he would have forgot sthg like this... Will check however.

Hello friends, I'm very sorry for that but all those cars were created by C.R.Ë.W. and T.N.T. not by me...

Sure ! I must have missed something in the installation process, that is all... I'll find a way.

Improved the storage sites of the tracks.

Some new F1C conversions were uploaded!

Great news ? Which are the new tracks?
