Flame warCREW F1 Seven 1970s mod for F1 Challenge, plus off-topic spat

A poster praised the CREW mod recreating mid-1970s Formula One for EA's F1 Challenge 99-02, a 500MB download including some period tracks. Jason Moyer criticised the mod's non-standard menu structure, drawing rebukes, and the thread then derailed into anti-French jokes, a troll's abuse and an apology from Jeff Reid. A possible rFactor conversion was mentioned.

Absolutely awesome. This mod which recreates the mid 70's formula one season is an absolute masterpiece. If you are a fan of the era (Lauda, Fittapaldi, Hunt Jones etc etc not to mention the 6 wheel project 34 Tyrell) you just have to get it. The download is large at over 500 meg, but extremely well worth it. My thanks go out across the airwaves to all the CREW members who dedicated so much time in recreating this amazing mod. You will not believe the attention to detail in this one! Thanks again

Sorry guys, I guess because ive waited for the release of this mod for so long, that everyone was aware of it and also anticipating it's realease. Its for EA F1 99-02 challange and is available in the RSC forums link http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?f=860 To me it the highlight do to date for racings sims full stop. That included GPL Rfactor, the lot!! I guess its "whatever floats your boat" but to me that era was just something special. go grab it and enjoy chers again Glenn >

I don't care what they called it. I call it magnificent! We didn't get them here in Australia in the flesh then, but Hunt at Hidden Valley, Lauda at Sandown, Fittapaldi at Bathurst, Brambilla at Queensland, the whole damm lot of them at Albert Park����..it works for me. Can't speak more highly of it. Sadly, they do not seem however at this stage working on a conversion for Rfactor cheers Glenn > >
Please excuse my ignorance, but does this 550Mb download include tracks? If not, where would one go to download the classic circuits that were used in the 70's, particularly Nordschliefe, Zandvoort, Monza, etc.? Although my favourite period for F1 is the 1960's, it wasn't until the late 1970's - when home-grown Aussie Alan Jones joined Williams - that the races were telecast here, giving we F1 fans the opportunity to watch the races live. So I can certainly identify with this era of Grands Prix. Bruce. "gcorrigan @ozemail.com.au" <NOSPAM> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Absolutely awesome.

But I know your a purist Dave, and I always value your opinions, so What did you think of it? I guess it almost expected these days but the way they have moddelled each car with unique sounds, handling/feel etc is just great to me. Depending on mood I can drive anything from the 312T to BRM. The textures and windshiled details are just outstanding. I know I am raving a bit, and sound like a paid political announcemnt for this mod (that's if you had to pay for it) but Ijust think its amazing. cheers Glenn > > Took me about 5 tries to get it dloaded. Big file. >dh
They did a good job, but I refuse to support mod groups that are too arrogant to use the default menu structure for F1 seasons. I can kinda sports car mods using launchers and an independent file structure in order to keep things configured optimally for their series, but there's no reason for an F1 mod to be such bloatware.
Maybe the guys who spent countless hours buiding this mod to give to the community for free can live without your "support" Jason. >They did a good job, but I refuse to support mod groups that are too >arrogant to use the default menu structure for F1 seasons.

How ironic; for the personal reason you have given, your refusal to support somebody whom *you* class as arrogant is arrogance in itself!! Bruce. "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > ...I refuse to support mod groups that are too arrogant to use ....
Applauding the work that either an individual or a team has put together, and which piques our interest enough to download and install, is not kissing anyone's arse, Jason, and the sooner you drop the attitude and get rid of the enormous cynical chip that sits upon your shoulder, the world will be a better place.

I think it's arrogant when people make F1 mods and don't use the perfectly fine menu structure that the game ships with and which would save a good 200+ megs of install space. I'm not entirely sure how that makes me arrogant, as I don't assume they give a shit one way or another. I posted a really obvious physics bug on their forum 6-9 months ago and it was totally ignored amid the flurry of people masturbating over screenshots and stroking their egos, so I'm fairly certain they'd get over my calling them arrogant.

Congatulations, but I would have thought they would have surrendered after the first shot.

No we don't. Over the past 7 years, we've discussed everything under the sun - including the French - with a bit of racing sim discussion thrown in for good measure. Bruce "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:_v05f.9890$[email hidden]...

As Dirty Harry would say, "a man's got to know his limitations" (or was that Clint Eastwood?).
