Excellent job. No Brabham? Actually I am glad, I would hate to see the beautiful BT52 depicted with this generic car. Hopefully Reiza will put the real car in as DLC.

Thanks! Yes, the BT52 is confirmed by Reiza as DLC. That’s why we made no skin and used the available slots for all the other teams.

For some reasons I don't know, the game ignores the AI-file when skipping a training/qualifying session and tends to put the naturally aspired cars in the front rows with laptimes they do not achieve when racing on track.
So, if you want a lineup close to results of 83, do not skip qualifying but wait until session is over.

"Ferrari #27 Tambay & #28 Arnoux (by JoL)"
Ohh man. Maybe I should download and install these skins - because of my 80ties hero Rene Arnoux.
After Stirling Moss Arnoux was the fastest driver who didnt become World Champion

just move the folder in the zip into the steam\common\ folder
if you aware of Windows folder structures it should be no problem, but handling folders inside Windows is presumed. The artist making skins cannot give Windows coarses.

I have checked on my PC and it still works fine for me, running on the latest version of the game (1.3.5.2). The folder structure and names are still the same as in the mod. If you dont have the formula_retro_g3_te subfolder, just copy the folder from the mod and it should work.

hi, thank you for this
may I ask what is a difference between formula_retro_g3_te and formula_retro_g3 folders
cause I think I have this mod already in later folder, without "te"

 

[gamer19]

Also, F1-1985 mod use same cars
so guess it's question for everyone - which era you like more

Hello, the formula_retro_g3_te folder contains the 10 turbocharged cars, the formula_retro_g3 are the 10 cars with the normally aspirated V8. Both shapes are very similar, both based on the Arrows A6 and represent the two engine specs used in 1983. Only the Brabham and McLaren have individual shapes. You may already have most of the skins from my previous version, but the folders now include the matching helmets, visors and updated xml-files. So you can just overwrite the existing files

The retro gen3 uses 1983 shapes (Arrows, McLaren and Brabham). I like the 1985 set too and I’m currently working on some 1984 skins. You should be able to keep both sets on the PC and just have to swap the xml files, depending on what season you want to use

 

[gamer19]

but how can I "overwrite" when I have formula_retro_g3_TE (now) and formula_retro_g3 (already there) !?

You should have both folders already to get the 20 skins. If not, maybe you deleted one? Just copy all 4 folders from the zip file, you need all of them to get 24 skins.
