So now that the historical edition is finished this can be considered obsolete, right?

Thanks for the great update! Brandshatch is now up and running on the F3-Fanatics' server! And this weekend's race will be set at this track! More than likely, I will be hosting (most) these tracks over the next several weeks! Starting this week of the 15th of January 2023.

@garymccabe rF2 has no in-game championship mode. You can only create offline championship for yourself by using exterior tools...for example rF2 Log Analyzer

Can you play a full offline chmapionship or custom one with this mod thanks

The turbos are non functioning in the 1986 cars; but the ability to configure the turbo boost buttons are available.

However, the opposite can be stated for the 1988 cars; the turbos probably work but the function/ability to alter the turbo pressure doesn't work or not available...what the hell has happened to these mods???

Come on guys, i know there's 'real life' issues to contend with but, if you're not prepared to update your mods and amend them when required, remove them from the workshop...what's the point if they don't function right?

Thanks anyway for the hard work so far.

@JayBoy I hope it's just sarcasm... 1988 cars feel perfect to drive and very realistic. but 1986 cars ae almost unplayable for me. they spin too much while acceleration. it seems they are oversensitive when pressing gas pedal. But I like Benetton B186 Historical Edition, it feels much better and more driveable. so I don't know what are you are talking about. You either joke or you just troll

I've noticed that the cars are too easy to drive.

It seems the car is too slow... no more than 230kph...what happened with this fantastic mod?

The turbo in 86´ seems to be broken, no psi or power at all. Pleaseeeee update this fantastic mod
Thnx!!!!

is there a mirror for this rfcmp trackpack file pls? steam just does not start downloading them for me

Agree with the prior comment - 1988 Ferrari has no sound. Not sure why - the older F1 88 mod also has this problem and uses different MAS files, so there appears to be a common problem with the rF2 install.

I found that team performance is wrong for 1986 and 1988 the problem is that difference between cars is too small... it does not correspond to real historical data at all! look at 1986 and 1988 stats...there was difference in qulaifies up to 10 sec between backmarkers and the fastest car. In your mod I could set almost the same time in Minardi as in Ferrari 1988

Ferrari 1988 engine has no sounds

The link in the pdf doesn't work.

Hello everyone, I'm a beginner and I love this mod a lot, but every time I use the brakes, the car goes backwards, I can't control it even trying to make adjustments. Some advice?

any chance you could add brands hatch to the 1986 calender? It just seems a bit unfinished without it

I have an issue where only 1 AI seems to be able to finish full race distance. Any ideas?

How is the HE coming along? Any eta ?

I've been enjoying this mod a lot, thank you for the great work!
However, I found a small issue at Jerez '88: there's at least one curb at a corner exit that sends my car literally flying in the air :). I'm using the default setup. It's not a big deal but it would be cool if you could take a look at it.

Please create the 1989 and 1990 F1 mod.

This is more a test version before the historical edition.
When HE will be done, this one will be obsolete.
There is a much more things in HE on the work but you can have pleasure with this mod in the wait of HE. ;)

Really enjoying this mod, especially the 1986 (vintage season) and the BT55 in particular. I had a few basic questions:
(1) Is this the most up to date version (I saw a few other 86/88 versions)?
(2) Is there any way to get car icons for the menu (blank currently)?
(3) Are there any guides to setting up the cars, or suggested setups? I've done some set up work, but suspect others will be ahead of me!
(4) Is it just me or is the turbo whine a bit too loud, as compared with the main growl of the engine?

This mod is awesome. I was trying to train the AI on the 1988 mod on the tracks for using GTPC WEC mod on, but the AI and these tracks - its now an amazing experience. Thankyou for this!! This mod is holly grail for historic layouts.

how easy it would be to add a adjustable boost meter for the 1988 turbocars?

its not fun to drive with them as you have to do stupid stuff to save fuel, with a boost meter i could just drop boost down and not have to drive stupidly. i would rather take the hit to HP than being forced to drive completely stupidly

I have a request.

In the old F1 1988 mod there was a bug in Adelaide. When you enter the pits, there is a patch of grass on the left that makes the car float. In this update, the bug is still there. Could you please patch that?

F1 86 and 88 two very good mod.
Unfortunately, the TV cam in the 86 mod doesn't like it at all.
The view is very bad!
Why don't you make the TV cam like in the 1979 mod or like in the 1988 mod?
You picture comparison 86 to 79 version.
Please modify!

No, this mod is both of those mods combined and updated.

Do I also need the F1 1988 from Carrera and the F1 86 from Chief for this addon?

Thanks alot @Klotus91. ;)
The next step is in development now and is called f1 80's historical edition.
It's a demo state to not interfere during updates with this mod.
When done, we will migrate to the historical version that will be far better ;)

Kudos to the creator of this mod.. This I think is the most realistic in terms of performance in comparison to the real 1986 season. I run 96% AI and I drive as Prost in a Mclaren. As always its the Williams brothers on pole and 2nd and sometimes Senna is on pole. This is so similar to the real season that took place. Once you learn how to drive these cars properly you will be at a good position during qualifying. But whatever you do the Williams boys will steal it.. Their cars are just better. Senna is a dramatic driver even as an AI. He will always chase down the Williams cars right from the start of the race and as it happened in real, he will push the car beyond limits and eventually not finish races in some particular tracks. Guys just read the PDF that comes with this mod. The creator has clearly explained what is what in the mod.

I think there is a problem with the '86 AGS: Every time you hit a wall or get a tap from another car, the engine explodes. Even when you're going really slow.

a Fun mod, the cars are ferociously fast as they should be and i give it an 8/10 :D

What stops it from being a perfect 10/10 is the brakes are absolutely diabolical the minimalist of brake input even while trail braking and the car's back end just steps out like it's an excited puppy :)

Great mod! Thanks! Could Brands Hatch be added to the 1986 tracks?

I just care about how it drives, really. This is my favorite mod and I recommend it every time someone asks for a recommendation. Always room for improvement and yes loading screens seem easy but I think the true goals of this mod are met.

While a compilation of 2 great mods, it feels a bit lazily put together. To give an example, the preview and loading screens for the 1988 track set are completely missing and yes, while they wouldn't make sense with the 1986 track set, it wouldn't be difficult to make new thumbnails and loading screens. Right now I would recommend just getting the 88 and 86 mods as they were, but hopefully updates will make this mod better.

Fantastic sound !!!!

New update 1.1.
Minor bug fixing :
- Pit entry problem in Hermanos corrected
- Correct specular effects for 86 cars
- Minor textures corrections for some cars.

damn I guess I read it too quickly then :)
thanks a lot for the answer, and again congrats for that awesome pack :)

@supermonacogp, you dont read well the manual young padawan lol 😉
AI cant switch updates for now so it would be unfair to have a more powerfull engine than ai in qualy.
Just the qualy tires and max turbo boost for now do the trick. And of course, your driving skills. 😉
Maybe in the futur, depends more of rf2 updates

ok thanks guys. so, why with CE cars I can't choose race or quali engine in the showroom? is it because I then have the chance to control boost mapping once in the car?

@Max Carrion, you're right, that's it ;)

League Edition I believe has equal performance between cars while Championship Edition I believe has realistic performance between cars.

maybe the best F1 pack on rF2
one question : I read the pdf but I still don't understand the difference between 1986LE/CE and 1988/CE
thanks

You all are GODS among men! Thanks to all of the people who made this possible!!!

For the slow-motion bug in replay, I encounter that when dev. GTPC mod. That was coming from a mistake in gen file related to shadow & lod. Maybe you have the same problem.

No problem, replays aren't that important. This mod rocks with or without accurate replays.

the best era of f1 <3 ty

No and it's not my fault for this ;)
It's a known bug from rfactor 2 and only some combos.
(search on s397 forums)
It's seems related to cpu usage problem but no real answer for now.

I was at Monte Carlo and when watching my replays the car moves in slow motion. Is this intentional?

Just made the correction about missing files.
Thanks for the feedback.
For deAngelis, i don't know why i can't add him.
I need to search further to find where the problem is.. :s
Cheers
