Oh... but I wouldn't be that pessimistic. The Ligier still managed quite a few 7th places and should be well faster than:

AGS
Arrows
Coloni
Fondmetal
Lotus
Team Modena

Depends on the driver too, of course

Not to mention that last time, it wasn't that hard to get on the grid. Not sure if people will show up consistently throughout the season.

ready to race!

ludovic, the ligier does handle like a pig, but its has a good amount of power. fond memories of one of my first hso races, ran the ligier at mexico. qualified well down the grid, but come race time the power helped to pass and hold position on the straights, kept my nose clean and managed to score a 6th. this mod (type of racing) its all about being around at the finish.

That's what I was saying. With the Ligier a slow driver like me as no chance at all to make the cut (save a miracle). To make matter more difficult, qualifications exercises have always been my Achilles heel. But I will try despise qualification is doubtful at best (well my historical counterparts doesn't qualify either).

I manage to go from 1.35 to 1.29 in qualifications set. But it's surely a bit too slow to got the sesam for the race.  I have tammed the instability of the car. But still I'm missing some motricity in exit and the car's reactions are rather blurry in entry. The 1.28 is not very far. But the last qualification spot was historically in 1.27.04. I'm still two full seconds behind.

On the bright side of things it's not so bad. Not being at the start will spare me the search for a viable race setup

The JS35b perhaps. But it doesn't seems to be case with the spec one JS35 . Do some practice with Sky Willis on the AGS-Ford. Our top speed were the same.

one of the best real sounding cars!
this will keep you going
(bear in mind from Imola you will have the bigger airbox for optimal ram air effect= more power)
it benefit from its low center of gravity
if this engine was in the Mclaren or larrousse  it would be one of the favorite choices icm  chassis/engine

very strong element of this mod, real recorded sounds

Did Greg really manage 1:23,1 in 2013? Greg is obviously much faster,  but three seconds off the pace? Really?

I want to say this track looks amazing! I love it.

great job Francois!

I'm doing some maths and work myself towards the sweet spot, but its quite a headache process...

How about an unofficial non-qualifier championship too keep the motivation up?

We will mail a wooden spoon to whoever DNQ's the most

You read my mind! Though I'd give it a twist: The spoon is awarded to the poor guy one who's losing the least time to ever make it to the grid over the season.

I've got a rough idea and volunteer to keep record

I must agree, the track looks superb,

only what i noticed is the overal darknes, whole track and own car too, is there simulated cloudy weather or evening time? or i had something wrong on my computer? (on other track there is much light)

thanks guys means alot!

yeah finaly after 6 years the mod get what it deserves, a decent high quality trackpack
and without the help and advices  of Alberto , David and Jason it isnt possible as well

Indeed i wish the start of the season was abit more sunny but it wasn't
so the first race in the Sun  is MONACO
also rain will be further on the season

the tracks represent RACE day and it was cloudy at sunday with a haze of blue init , qualify was sunny but rfactor cant do that same time
i also soften and mostly elimenate the  shadows of the buildings, they are gone now which  is real and benefit your fps
however for race day rfactor will sharpen the lighting automaticly

but in my spare time i will make a sunny phoenix for the die hards!

I encountered a small problem when entering the server: I get a mismatch when my car's force feedback is set on "strong". No mismatch occurs with normal force feedback.

somewhere here was guide to setup FF for 1991 with controller.ini (or PLR file) parameters and now i cant find it

FF is an upgrade, therefore either you or the server dont have latest version of the mod.

I downloaded it again, reinstalled it, same problem.

You managed to make that dull track a superb one. All that pesky bumps adds a real challenge

Thinks Richard was refering to the 5 nations there where the team loosing all its games is allowed the infamous wooden spoon (mostly it's either Italy or Scotland. As a good french team supporter I always hope England will get it )

Nonetheless it's a great idea. I'm on it if you need help as I could be one of the contender

I'll try to make the grid
