@BIKER7202 Respect! This is a valiant effort
Apologies for being late to the game. I was planning on skipping VR and dive back in it with the 2017 version of the game but circumstances led me to a steal price of $5 and I could not resist. Juuuust too curious. I have to say I do not hate this game...at all. Without getting into all the flaws which we are all aware of in typical Milestone fashion the potential for great mods is there. With close to 18,000 total downloads of all of our past "Physics+Season+Rider Skills Update Mods" that my collaborator Jan and I have released speaks for itself. This is not about bragging, this is about combining efforts. What I would like to propose, until we see what Milestone unloads on us in June, is the following - let's work on this 2017 Update together. As mentioned your Mod is a great effort, countless hours went into this, as trust me, I know all too well. And your biggest achievement no doubt was to add KTM to MotoGP. Very clever to use the 2015 Forward Yamahas for this...I would have done the same thing!! But, it has plenty of room for expansion.
Allow me to critique the following:
1. Rider/Bike pics are not up to date in all classes (still 2016 pilot icons) or they actually do not match the photo/rider in game. ( I have fixed this already and all riders use 2017 portraits)
2. Certain rider changes you performed could have been handled simpler/more efficiently (change Ono to Toba and not to Aritatphuvapat using Wilairots pilot key to achieve that) and there are other examples. (I have started this process and I know the challenges you faced here but it can be done cleaner) Also, Enzo Boulom is not in Moto3 anymore. Pagliani took his place.
3. The team strengths in all 3 classes need adjusting in general and also in more detail (such as the Engine-Key HONDA_A/_B/_C - KTM_A/_D John McPhee's British Racing Team needs adjusting (you used the JP Malaysia here) I updated all the team strengths already.
4. Riders strengths and AI.SKILLS have not been adjusted properly at all. Joan Mir, Oettl, Di Giann. etc are way too far behind and this is the case for a lot of riders in all 3 classes. I have adjusted this as well.
Why don't you take a look at my files (I could send it to you) and we discuss? How about a joined effort? We could all benefit from your awesome foundation and my detailed finetuning. Let me know what you think
