Hey there! I know you've been waiting for this one, and I hope you enjoy it. I worked really hard on it, and it's still just a base. I am sorry for the extremely big file size, but there was no other way to change everything and put it in less than 800mb.
WHAT DID THE MOD UPDATE?
Added Haas and Alfa Romeo switch
Now, you might be wondering what this is about.
When people modded Magnussen and Mazepin' faces, I thought something was wrong, as everyone did: the driver was too slow! Also, Zhou Guanyu transferred to Alfa Romeo, replacing Jesus (officially known as Antonio Giovinazzi). He seems to be quite a bit off the pace... let's get to the point:
ALL FILES have been swapped from Alfa Romeo to Haas, excluding names (you can find the name changer files in part 2)
So,
Mick will have Giovi's performance, K-Mag will have Raikkonen's, Zhou will have Maz's, and Bottas will have Mick performance.
I want to thank @sparticus19 and @Jackal-88 for their fantastic contributions on Alfa and Haas' suits. Go check their work!
ALL 2022 facial driver swaps have been assigned. I know this is kind of "out of performance" related, but to see 2 Bottases... well, it just felt weird.
2022 cars performance has been updated aswell, with way more realistic physics and aerodynamics (car related, obviously). Now the order is:
Tier 1: Red Bull, Ferrari
Tier 2: Mercedes
Tier 3: Haas, Alpine, AlphaTauri Alfa Romeo
Tier 4: McLaren, Williams, Aston Martin
Also,
engines have been updated. Now the engine power stands as:
Tier 1: RBPT (568), Ferrari (564)
Tier 2: Alpine (547), Mercedes (542)
The MGU-H, due to its removal in 2022, will no longer cause engine faults.
And, last but not least,
DRS has been reworked. Now it's way less effective.
THE MOD, THANKS TO @sparticus19, uses his fantastic driver backgrounds. Once again, I'll tell you: go check his work, he really deserves it!
NOTE: To get realistic results in qualifying, I highly recommend using one-shot qualifying, or real formats without skipping time at all. I know this is not comfortable, but I decided to go for more realistic physics rather than realistic laptimes in simulations with weird physics in race.
THIS IS PART 1, AND WITHOUT INSTALLING PART 2 THE MOD WILL NOT WORK.
Plans for next update:
Update performance:
extremely likely
Update DRS opening and closing range:
quite likely
Update tire data to 2022:
possible
Update upgrades power to reflect longer careers to be fun:
quite unlikely atm
