Wow...there's a lot of good info there Manteos and some very interesting options I'll test the ignition/starter procedure you describe for the Coloni and if all is well I'll make it available from now on. Silverstone should be the only place where refuelling is necessary in this series for some/any of these cars, so I don't think that would make the need for editing the eng. files at this stage. The permissions for us using this mod (which were exhaustive to obtain to put it mildly) do not include any modification of the original files, so I'm afraid that disallows any alteration of their physics/performance. However if this season is successful, I am looking at ways of making the series even more attractive while still producing close racing, but rewarding the quicker drivers. Legzy will know what I'm talking about here I'll have a look at this mod, but would warn everyone to keep it separate from the original version if they decide to try it.As far as the bumpy tracks are concerned, some of the standard tracks certainly suffer from this, but the tracks in this series all seem free from this problem. Maybe a fix was built into these tracks as most of them seem to have been produced with the F1 88 mod in mind It is something to think about for the future though. Thanks for all the work you've put into this Manteos

After some tests in Jacarepaguà (offline), I think that my pace with the Ligier, should match the rest of the field, looking at your race best laps. I turned with a best lap of 1.25.6, and I was constantly turning in 1.26.0. I really don't know what to do with the other cars. I tried even the Coloni and it seems slightly faster than the Zakspeed here in Imola, 1.29.6 as best lap, and a race pace close to 1.30.0... that is quite impossible with the Zakspeed (I tried it even with higher wings, but the result was the same 1.30.1 as best lap if you risk your life every corner ) March is definitely faster (at least here) than the Ligier... yesterday in Practice 2 session I turned in 1.24.2, but I could do a high 1.23 as best lap. So I discard this choice. If you agree, I would like to do this race with the Ligier, in which I have a low 1.26 race pace. Than if I will discover that it's too fast for me, I will race the next with Coloni or Zakspeed, but watching that you were really close at least in the best laps in Jacarepaguà, I guess it would be quite impossible to have some fun with these 2 cars turning alone in the circuit. If there are more drivers turning in a 1.29 pace, I will accept the challenge with the Coloni in every case. My fear is only to turn alone in the last position without any fun. If some other people can post their race pace it will be easier for me to make this choice. Thanks in advance guys

Well, after trying and struggling in the 1.29 barrier, I finally gave up with my trusty h-pattern and clutch setup and tried my paddle shifters for once. The change worked well and almost immediately I broke into the 1.26s . With your pace Manteos, we'd probably be in close company during the race. That depending on whether I throw the car into the barriers or not .

With the help of Lele, I solved my setup troubles with the Coloni, and I manged to keep a high 1.26 pace, so I will take the Coloni for the rest of the champ. If for you is ok, Lele would like to do this one as a wild card with the Coloni. He is an open wheeler mod "wizard", so I guess that he would be able to compete for the first positions even with the Zakspeed if he can't take the Coloni... (there's only one Coloni in this mod if I remember well). Let me know which car he has to choose for this race. Cu

No duplication of cars for this series, so I've put Lele in the Ghinzani Zakspeed......will be great to see a Zakspeed on the grid. Nice pace in that Coloni Manteos

Give a try to this one. It works pretty good with the Coloni, but every car of this mod needs different settings, so I can't assure you that will work even for your car. I suggest to you to change only the Steer Lock if you drive with a 900° Steering wheel (I have a Thrustmaster F430, so I need not much steer lock). Just remember to avoid the borders, cause with these cars, even in the old videos you can see drivers always avoided to exploit the borders, especially here in Imola! Try to be very precise and clean especially through the chicanes! Setup Link: http://www.humyo.com/FCrSYMC/colonif1%202.svm?a=XBvnVFjC3kMI hope it will be useful Cu!

i havent got a clue what to start adjusting, and not much time to try much Very high wing makes the cars easier to drive and if the car is bouncing a lot then reduce the bump and rebound settings in the suspension. Just remember to avoid the borders, cause with these cars, even in the old videos you can see drivers always avoided to exploit the borders, especially here in Imola! Try to be very precise and clean especially through the chicanes!
Indeed. Concentrate more on driving than getting a fast setup. You will find it quite amazing how late you can brake and how fast you can go round corners when you push it.

wow what a race, takes some serious concentration to do a race in these cars
a great fight with apextech, we seemed about even on pace (well my pace was mainly down to having the fastest car of the 88' season and manteos setup), just down to who made the least mistakes!
