Grand Prix 1979 2.01

!! IMPORTANT !! Patch 2.01 RELEASED GPC 79 Update 2.01

INSTALLATION: just point the updater to your folder of the game installation E.G. c:program files
factor c:games
factor d:somepath
factor

NOTES: This update will cause online mismatches with older versions, and it is not compatible with seasons started with previous versions, so if this is your case, finish the season before apply the update. There is a small batch file dropped in the game folder by the installer called clean.bat, if it hurt it can be removed manually at the end of installation.

FIXES: changed the name of the league_ed rfm because its name was too long, causing errors and mismatches. changed the track names inside the rfm for all versions. fixed a problem with helmets in the league_ed. fixed a problem with sounds when all cars/all tracks is used with all versions. fixed Fittipaldi problems with all versions changed the Hockenheim track fixed a bug at Dijon aiw fixed a bug on Silverstone track aiw fixed a minor gfx bug at Monza

//// WHAT`S NEW IN V2.0:

-- Introduces the LEAGUE EDITION, along with the previous HISTORICAL and UNRESTRICTED versions of the mod. The LEAGUE EDITION
aims to provide better functionality for leagues, having every car model working independently within each team bracket,
so that is no longer necessary to go through the upgrade and skins menus to pick a different chassis. The LEAGUE EDITION also
allows for more variety in offline races, as the AI can run all the models and their variations in any given race.

-- Several small graphical fixes and refinements;
-- Optimized LODs for better FPS (thanks to TRELLET.NET);
-- Improved collision body and feelers to include wheels and wings (thanks to TRELLET.NET);
-- Fixed spinner bugs (thanks to Allitnil);

-- Fittipaldi F5A made available;

-- Updated Arrows A2 cockpit;

-- Fixed Renault mirrors;

-- New pace car (78 porsche 911);

-- Extensively revamped tyre physics;

-- New individual suspension models for each chassis;

-- Adjusted aero for more realistic behavior;

-- Adjusted engines heating, cooling and wear;

-- Adjusted brake properties;

-- Extensive callibration to AI behavior.



**SHIFTER UPGRADE REDUX**

In light of rfactor´s continuous unresolved gear shifting issues, we´ve decided to partially reintroduce the shifter upgrade
with lower delays for the gated option. The chosen compromise is: HISTORICAL, being the recommended option for offline play,
has the shifter ugprade with lower delays for gated shifting; same for the LEAGUE EDITION, taking into consideration the
possibility for league admins to police its suitable use among its members via replay; UNRESTRICTED remains with standard
shifting delays for both options, allowing an alternative to keep a level playing field in open servers and leagues that
prefer to have it that way.

Whilst certainly others would prefer to have a different compromise or even not compromise it at all, we ask everyone to
understand that until this limitation with Rfactor is resolved, the best we can do is to provide something for everyone,
instead of everything for someone.



//// NOTES:

In light of the physics developments, old setups will no longer work.

If running a championship season using HISTORICAL, make sure to come back to the menu screen after each round, otherwise
Rfactor will load the same models from the previous race (the ferrari won´t upgrade from the T3 to the T4 in between
Interlagos and Kyalami for example).

Those using wheels with realfeel & leo ffb google leo ffb tuner 1.01. It will adjust leo based on suspension / tire model (.tbc). It will improve your lap times as wheel will go light when front wheel lose grip, as happens when really driving. Just makes rfactor amazingly natural to drive.

I found a way around the problem with the tracks. Only Monza is a 2.6 version. The second part of the 2.01b cars is locked due to a George Harrison song being included. Any chance whoever posted the file can remove that and repost?

Slobbeman. The links go to a 2.5 track pack. Is the 2.5 to 2.6 patch included in this? I can't find the 2.5 to 2.6 update anywhere.
