SEASON SUMMARY:
After the domination of Lotus in the 1978 F1 Championship, and the incredible innovation of Ground Effect, the rest of the teams scrambled to implement Ground Effect into their chassis for 1979.

For some reason I am not able to pick any car other than the safety car. Any help?

Came · Apr 1, 2022

Not only that but any track from the trackpack I try to race on doesn't load whatsoever.

Doesn't work, due to mas error.

In *.gen files, there is this :
MASFile=common_79.mas
MASFile=tyres 79.mas
MAS File=tachs 79.mas

This mas files are not in your pack, why?

I see in "locations" there is a file calles "road_s" that is still zipped.
I have to unzip it ? and place where ? what is that file for ?

do not unzip it. just leave it where it is. I think it is key road textures that the mod uses.

Another bug fix. I did an experiment with engine blow up values and left them in for the release. My apologies.

Hi, I like your mod !
but I have problems with the tracks; when I tried to load them I had that message "Error opening MAS file LONGBEACH79.MAS, and I have the same problem with zandvoort too, and after the message there is a CTD, what could I do ?

Loving the mod... but shouldn't you be trying to use AMS's turbo simulation for the Renault?
Instead of the old powercurve, AMS itself could simulate the turbo's behaviour... which is vastly more accurate.

Yeah i would love to use AMS turbo, but i dont have a good enough understanding of the turbo parameters, and the engine files made by gpc were competent enough. But if i ever were to get around to it, I will make renault turbos

This seems to be just an rfactor mod that has been "ported", I use that word very loosely. It may work for some but it doesn't for me. Most of the tracks fail to load and crash AMS, the car steering rotation appears to be way too small and FFB is all over the place.

Shame because really one of the reasons why I re-installed AMS was this mod.

I'm using a t300, win 11, crew chief's plugin for VR and my ams build is pretty clean since I only re-installed recently. All stock content works flawlessly, mods such as Cart extreme and anything from the ISO group work perfectly too, so I don't think it's my setup.

I've unistalled for now, will maybe take a look at trying to install the first version of this to see if it's a problem with the later release.

Im sorry to hear that afaramas, and thank you for your feedback. I know a lot of people are dealing with crashing issues and such, and i'm looking into a fix for those at the moment. On the physics side, The physics are heavily influenced by the original 2006 mod, and I am not niels heusinkveld, so it will take me some time to get a good grip with the physics and such. I will try and improve these discrepancies to the best I can to get the most realistic and best feel possible for all users.
