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
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.

Why "F1 SEVEN" and not "Seventies" or "70's"?

I wondered that too!
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

I read on their forum that a conversion for rFactor may be in the cards
once some 'vintage' tracks appear.
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.

Took me about 5 tries to get it dloaded. Big file.

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

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.

Of course they can, they have plenty of other people willing to kiss
their asses. Welcome to the "mod community".
How ironic; for the personal reason you have given, your refusal to support
somebody whom *you* class as arrogant is arrogance in itself!!

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.

Is Jason of French descent?

I agree with you, but doing that while simultaneously jumping down
anybody's throat who offers a dissenting opinion is essentially what I
would define as "fanboy" behavior, if there is such thing. 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.

To go off on a tangent, I recently started playing Sid Meier's Pirates!
and after a few hours of playing the game I just started sitting
outside the French colonies and attacking every French ship I could
find. Very satisfying. :)

Shut it shut it.
This newsgroup is called : rec.autos.simulators
This has none to do with it. There's an off-topic board on rscnet if you
want to write such things. We discuss racing sims here.

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.

There's a difference between threads going slowly off tangeant (in the
nature of the Usenet itself) and blattant trolling with no interest for the

The Jay Leno quote was offensive and in bad taste,
and it was a momentary lapse in judgement for me to
repeat it.
Once again sorry.

Has anyone any intel on the "historic mod" I have found many cars for
this mod, maily 1970's Australian cars, eg Brock, Moffat etc, but I
cannot work out what Mod they are for. Ive Googled my balls off and
searched the usual suspects but cannot locate the mod.
the cars look great in the BMP's so what to give them a run.
Is anyone aware of what mod it is and where it''s available?
TIA
