Has anyone had an opportunity to try this Mod? I recently acquired it and found it a very good piece of work. I especially like the audible skid sounds which have been lacking in the other mods and the F1C itself. The cockpit is also nicely designed with twin mirrors. There is support on F1RST, but sadly not many servers up and running yet. Hopefully that will change. The AI are also very good. It comes complete with setups and it's own launcher. I have only been at it a few hours but it certainly has promise. I hope all you road racers will come join me for some races. I can only enjoy racing the AI for so long.

Unfortunately, the mod group's installation process is VERY confusing. 6 different files, but some are v1 and others are v1.x and I think that may have limited the sucess of the mod. As you say it is very well crafted once you get it running. But I suspect the bulk of diehard onliners will use either the RH2003 F1 mod or the ETCC, GROUPC and SCC mods. Those seem to be the dominant online drivers right now. RSR's World GT is the next 'big thing' for the F1c mod community. dave henrie

You're right Dave. I had a hell of a time installing it. I must have done the 3d config at least 6 times until I realized there were 3 separate configs in the mod to amend. SCC is a fun one as well and for the time being that is my choice for online action. "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

can > only enjoy racing the AI for so long. McLaren as in McLaren F1s? Is it better than the BPR mod for F1 2002 (which was awful) ?
