Question: F1 EIGHTIES

Hello friends,
I've downloaded the 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1985 race-by-race mods.
Where I must paste them? To main F1 Challenge 99-02 folder or to CREWF1 folder? I tried both possibilies, buth some cars not work and I can't load some tracks. (I've downloaded the tracks from another 80s mods, but the tracks from 1980 season are missing.)
So I tried to paste all 80s seasons to separate folder (named F1 Challenge 80-89) with the copied files from (exe, ini, options, etc.) F1 Challenge 99-02, but with the same troubles, when I pasted the 80s mods to main or CREWf1 folders.
How I can paste these (80s seasons) mods to 80SeasonData (with 80OPtions, 80Save, etc.) to main F1 Challenge 99-02 folder (like I have fgot F1 SEVEN, F1 SIXTIES, Prototype-C or BMW M1 Procar mods), when the challenge 80s exe files doesn't exists? How I can create the 80s exe file from f1challenge9902.exe, please?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Lee

you need to edit the file "Config.ini" in the root folder of the game.
for example:

Do not forget to edit files *.scn in circuits' folders too.

Thanks, augusto.
But I need special F1 eighties exe file, when I have in the main folder also the original F1 1999-2002 seasons (expanded with the 2003, 2004 and 2005 seasons)... When I'll just rename the original f1challenge9902.exe file to (for example) f1eighites.exe (with f1ightiesConfig.ini), so it will not work...
Or not?
Regards,

you can rename the exe file as you want. it will work. It's not necessary to rename files "Config.ini" and "3DConfig.exe".

or you want to have both "*exe" files (f1challenge9902.exe and f1eighites.exe) in one folder? In this case I don't know to do.

OK. I'll try afternoon after the work, where I'm workin' just now.

And your all 80s seasons (if you've downloaded them from this forum) are working fine?

I must have both exe file in main F1C folder.

It doesn't work! When I started 1980S.exe (and I have got 1980S.ini), so is loading the main F1 Challenge 99-02 game, not cars from 1980SSeasonData.

check those lines in ini :


TRACKSDIR=CIRCUITS\
VEHICLESDIR=VEHICLES\
DRIVERSDIR=DRIVERS\

Are your cars in such folders? or in 1980VEHICLE folder?

The 80s cars (1980, 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 seasons) I gave just to VEHICLE folder in 1980sSeasonData... Along I created 1980sOptions, 1980sSave and 1980sReplay folders. Nothing more. It was not enough, huh?

I tried to install these season (80s) separately to main folder called F1 Challenge 80-89, but it didn't work at all cars and some tracks were not loaded.

So I will rather wait, when someone skillfull wil create the F1 EIFHTIES mod with working all 80s seasons...
