[IMG] F1 1992 Season 1.3

IMMERSION Modding Group’s F1 1992 Season transforms Automobilista 2’s Formula HiTech Gen 1 series into a comprehensive recreation of the 1992 Formula One World Championship - with detailed car liveries, Reiza-style menu previews, custom AI, driver helmets, race suits and gloves.



v1.3 adds many additional liveries, new menu previews, helmets, recalibrated custom AI and an improved XML Selector. The update brings the lower half of the grid into focus - where teams struggled to find sponsors, and liveries often changed from race to race. It also brings the opportunity to race for (or against) one of the least competitive teams in F1 history - the legendary Andrea Moda Formula!






Our XML Selector allows you to easily load pre-configured sets of liveries, teams and drivers. To use it, go to your Automobilista 2 folder and run " F1 1992 Selector.bat".

A preset for every round of the 1992 season is included, plus some extras allowing you to try ‘what if’ scenarios. Type the letter of your chosen option and hit enter to load the preset before running the game.

Historical 1992 Season Presets:
-Round 1 Kyalami DEFAULT
-Round 2 Mexico City
-Round 3 Interlagos
-Round 4 Barcelona - Hill replaces Amati at Brabham
-Round 5 Imola
-Round 6 Monaco - Moreno qualifies for Andrea Moda
-Round 7 Montreal
-Round 8 Magny-Cours
-Round 9 Silverstone - Zanardi replaces Fittipaldi at Minardi
-Round 10 Hockenheim
-Round 11 Hungaroring
-Round 12 Spa - Fittipaldi returns, Naspetti in for Belmondo
-Round 13 Monza
-Round 14 Estoril

‘What if’ Scenario Presets:
-Perry's Chance - By some minor miracle, Perry McCarthy qualifies his Andrea Moda (ahead of Paul Belmondo).
-Pupo's Windfall - After an unexpected cash injection, Roberto Moreno qualifies his somewhat better-prepared Andrea Moda (ahead of Paul Belmondo).

Random Preset
-Selects any preset (either a 'What If' scenario or historical) at random, and suggests a team to drive for.



Install instructions:
- We recommend using AMS2CM to install (follow their instructions)
- Uninstall/delete any older versions of the mod first
- Note: The Formula HiTech DLC is required

Notes/known issues:
The XML Selector presets remain a work in progress. Not all teams have accurate liveries for all tracks, not all helmets are 100% accurate, and due to restrictions of the game it is not currently possible to have a 100% correct lineup of 26 qualifiers for every round. The Fondmetal and Venturi teams have not been added yet. We may add/refine things in future updates.



At the time of release, the underlying F-HiTech AI has issues - e.g. leaving the garages in practice and qualifying sessions if the pitlane speed limit is at the default/preset value (240 kph). We recommend using 80 or 100kph to avoid the issue until Reiza addresses it. Also the McLaren AI cars are slow off the line, and the Williams AI cars seem slightly prone to spinning. Again, we believe these are underlying issues that may be addressed by Reiza in due course.



Recommended settings:
-Use Medium AI aggression
-Use 25 opponents (to replace one of the AI drivers at your chosen team), or
-Use 26 opponents (to run as an extra car for your chosen team)
-Use 2x mechanical failures for full length races, 4x for half length races, and so on.
