It's all in German.  Not speaking the language, an English version would be
great.  Any ideas?

 ************************SEASON 1995 MOD FOR EA SPORTS' F1 2002
by****************************

   Carshape & Texture Design Project (CTDP)
              www.ctdp.de.vu
****************************************************************************
*****************

This Mod tunes F1 2002 into the 1995 Season, featuring the batlle between
Micheal Schumacher
and Damon Hill.

It includes:

-the 12 cars racing in the end of the season (without Simtek)
-all 24 drivers
-pitcrews of the season
-driversuits of 95
-tuned physiks
-16 tracks of the 95 season (for more details see tracks topic)
and many more

Installing the Mod
------------------

IMPORTANT: This package will only work with a clean installation of the
original f1 2002.
           It is possible to keep other cars or things in your
Season02/vehicles folder;
    But the tracks folder has to be clean!!

PREPERATION: At least you will need ca. 300 MB of free diskspace on this
harddrive, where
      F1 2002 is installed.

INSTALL: Just open the .exe file and follow the instructions displayed.
  The installer creates 4 subfolders in your F1 2002 main folder, called:

 - 95 Anim (this is where the intro is in)
 - 95 Options (all the menu and other stuff)
 - 95 Save (this is where your personal things are in, e.g. career data,
setups....)
 - 95 Season (the heart of the mod ;))

  The sound data for the cars will be copied to your F1 2002/sounds/car
folder, but it
  will not overwrite existing sound.

IMPORTANT!!!
------------
****************************************************************************
**********************************************
When the installer has finished, you MUST replace the following lines in the
CONFIG95.ini with the
ones of your original config.ini or any other .ini you use for other mods
(GTR2002, RH- Update). Otherwise, when you start the mod via your shortcut,
f1 2002 will start instead of the mod. You also have to carry over the
values after the "=" from the other .ini
This are the information of your system. Don't replace the line with the
Game.gdb information.

Problems, but no bugs
---------------------

There are some problems, which can not be solved by the developement team
(due to not having
some resources other bigger teams have)

Problem with the suspension
...........................

You will notice that there is no brakeduct visible on the fronttires.
The ****slfa.mts and ****srfa.mts are deactivated in the f1car.gen.
We had to do this due to placement problems of the brakeducts.
If you find a solution for this problem, you can either inform us, or create
and distribute
it on your own.

Problem with the championship mode
..................................

This problem is much more difficult than the other.
You will notice, that you can race against 23 opponents in the single race.
But you won't be able to do this in the championship mode, without some "do
it yourself".

The solution is a kind of complicated, so be careful.
Follow these instruction, to race against all 23 opponents of your choice.
First of all, you have to make sure that 23 opponents is activated in the
"playername.plr".
Then, start the mod, select championship, and all the things you want.
You will notice, that you can't get higher as 21 opponents in the selection.
If you made all your choices, start the championship. You MUST go until the
screen of the
constructorchamp.
Then you go back to the main menu, and end the game. Go to your 95Save
folder, and
open the career.zip. In it, you will find career data for every 24 players.
Select the one,
you selected in the game, and extract it to your 95save/playername folder.
For example, in the game you selected M.Schumacher,you have to extract the
MSchumacher.bch.
Now you delete the career.bch in your folder, and rename your choosen .bch
file to Career.bch
Then open the "playername.plr" again, and change opponents in championship
to 23 and also
current opponents to 23. Save it, and load the championship you began some
minutes befor.

We want to appologize for this kind of action. But it was not possible to us
to find another way.
SBDT goes the same way in their GTR2002 Mod, but they wrote a programm so
you don't have to make
any chnges on your own. Unfortunatly we can't act like SBDT.
Again, if you know any opportunity to race against all opponents a easier
way, mail us, tell
your solution in forums or create and distribute it on your own.

Problem with some tracks
........................

You will also notice that there is one track missinng completely (Adelaide).
There is NO solution for it, until someone builds this track.

The other problem concerns 2 tracks, build in f1 2002. It is the old
Hockenheimring
and old Nurburgring.
Although the conversion from f1 2002 tracks to f1 2002 is simple, there is
one big problem:
the tracks in f1 2001 are build for 11 teams, not for 12 teams or more. This
is why this two tracks are missing.
If you put them into the game, one team, the Forti, will have its box on the
start/finish line,
and you can imagine what chaos this mean.

Support
