Lola T142 engine heat effect removed, I can not find any info about using the engine heat effect so I have removed it.

In this version I have added heat effects to the Lola T142 engine, I'm not sure that I like these effects, please add your thoughts on the engine heat effect.

I've used the rF2 historic driver moder for the driver so there could be slight mis-matches with the steering wheels.

New driver seats for the Lola T142, Lola T190, McKee and Surtees.

All of the cars should now install with the correct version number.

What an exciting surprise!

Feels good so far and I'll certainly keep an eye on this as it develops.

Had ago with this last night, very cool David, drives and looks great.

Nice, thanks! Did a quick test at Mid-Ohio, the FFB is excellent when you raise the multiplier value in the settings folder to 2.0. Suspension movement looked terrific. The biggest problem I had was that I didn't have any tire noises! On cold tires it was terrifying, it really felt and sounded like driving on ice. When the tyre temperature went up, it became more predictable.

Some of the additional sounds had become corrupt and therefore rF2 does not play those sounds. It should be fixed for the next update.

Great Job as usual Dave!!!! Drove the Surtees for a bit. Liked it!! Glad to see you doing rF2 stuff!!!

Thanks Paul, its nice to hear from you.

Hey Paul nice to see your still alive

It's nice to get a minute to check in with the rest of the world! Glad to see you both still hanging around!!

Dave I see you listed in some rF1 racing here but I don't see your name Carl??? They must not be running any races with Alfas or Escorts!!

Carl is having an affair behind our back, with a Ukelele 

Nice to see you around Paul 

Hahaha I knew it had to be something!!!!
Hi Richard!! Yes I'm still kicking!!

I've made a small tweek to the ai to make them behave better. To ensure that the ai are not too fast can you post your laptimes and what you think that a quick driver could do for Lime Rock Park No Chicane, Brianza, Brianza Junior, and if you have tested there Putnam Park. If you have only run at 1 or 2 tracks then just post those times.

Version 0.7 links updated in the first post.

Will give this a go during week Dave,thanks for working on this

Version 0.8 links updated in the first post.

Version 0.82 links added to the first post.

Version 0.83 links added to the first post.

Hi David,
Thanks for this great Mod!

I tested v0.83 the past couple of days.
I found that the Eagle MK5 has two cars that do NOT have a First Gear nor Reverse Gear.
Car #2 John Cannon
Car#97 Swede Savage

Also, the Lola T142 does not have a needle on the gauges.
I tried all of them, no needle on any Lola T142.

I had to bring this to your attention.
Hopefully you can figure out how to fix this.
Thanks again for creating this Mod!  

Thanks Steve,
I'm hoping to get back to working on this mod soon.

I tested a bit more and found a fix.
In any car with this problem,
1st: Pull out of the pits past the line.
2nd: Drive speeding up to 4th gear and then brake and blip back down to first incrementally.
You will have 1st gear then.

This works for any car, which for some reason today, v0.82 has this prob in every car.
Not sure why. But it fixes it fast!

I've not driven these cars for a while but I don't remember having a problem with the gears.
Could this be a problem with your setup.

just for info
