Changelog:

- 2023APR23 [UPDATE 1]

O Corrected the behaviour on all the swing-axle cars, now jacking should be way less prominent and more gradual if driven correctly.
O Corrected the AI behaviour on Alfa Romeos, Ferraris, Cisitalia, BRM and OSCA.
O Revised the AI tyre grip levels on all cars.
O Revised the Talent RCD files for the AI drivers.
O Increased drag for the Alfa Romeo 159/50 to 0.38.
O Changed the rear brake percentage to 31% for the Alfa Romeos and the Ferrari 125.

- 2023APR25 [UPDATE 2]

O Fixed the mirrors pointing in the wrong direction when virtual cockpit mirrors are enabled and player is driving the Cisitalia.
O Fixed the mirrors not showing in the spinner for the Maserati 4CLT/50.

- 24MAG2023 [UPDATE 3]

O Fixed an issue where gauge indexes were disappearing or not responsive on some installations, changed by making unique material and texture calls
O Reorganized the Maserati lineup thanks to additional research
O Made the 4CLT/50's engine more brittle and less resistant to heavy stresses
O Calibrated the AI further to ensure a better representation for the drivers
O Fixed some typos in the VEH files for Chiron, De Graffenried and Schell, which prevented the corrispondent RCD file from being called correctly
O Corrected the team name for Parnell and Whitehead, as well as location.
O Changed the main Cisitalia livery to the AutoAr one, to further a better representation for the team as it was back then. The "Porsche grey" one is still available as extra and selectable in the menu, if you so choose.
O Added multiple pit-stops for both players and AI, to avoid the AI running out of fuel while simulating full-length races.
O Improved the downshift algorithm for the Alfa Romeos.
O Added balancing penalties for driving aids.
O Removed options from the pit menu that shouldn't have been there.
O Fixed double-drivers appearing in some carsets (like Chiron and Fangio appearing twice).
O Fixed the Talbot-Lago not having a starting sound: the issue was in a typo in the sfx file.
O Added the horn sound effect to the FIAT Topolino (Bosch Megatone Horn 0 986 AH0 203).

- 2023JUL06 [UPDATE 4]
O Improved stability for swing axlesFerraris and Alfa Romeos.

Thanks Luigi and JV! I'm glad you like the mod, the rest of the team also appreciates a lot
There are some small updates in the first post, to take car of some bugs that have been found along the way. Thanks go to Alfamonza and Panzafahra

I downloaded the update.. impeccable models..  very realistic physics (although I've never driven an F1 from the 50s)..  just one note...   the drivers are a little too fat or muscular, they look like bodybuilders...
any way...
KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK

Grazie Luì!
I'm glad you like the cars (and a new update is due because we got reported a bug that is quite nasty when driving: sometimes the oil and fuel needles in the cockpit just "disappear"... I hope it's the last one to squash!), but sadly I'm not that good at modelling people in general: I had to rely on third-party models that were already rigged and ready to be posed, so they kinda have the body-builder appearance ^^;

What software do you use for modelling yours, I wonder? MakeAHuman perhaps?

Initially I used Poser..
then, yes, I switched to Makehuman

New update, I hope you'll all enjoy it
