Hi Gabriele, thanks for the notice ! This is one of my favourite eras of Grand Prix racing, so needless to say I can't wait to test it !

Thanks for the notice! I am currently reading a book about Gordini and have arrived in 1951, so it is the perfect time to try the T15 myself!

Thank you so much! This is another fantastic mod from your team. It's worth it just for the history, and the cars are gems. So much research and execution. Modern sims should be so lucky to have such a team of modders.

O Fixed an issue where gauge indexes were disappearing or not responsive on some installations, changed by making unique material and texture calls
O Reorganized the Maserati lineup thanks to additional research
O Made the 4CLT/50's engine more brittle and less resistant to heavy stresses
O Calibrated the AI further to ensure a better representation for the drivers
O Fixed some typos in the VEH files for Chiron, De Graffenried and Schell, which prevented the corrispondent RCD file from being called correctly
O Corrected the team name for Parnell and Whitehead, as well as location.
O Changed the main Cisitalia livery to the AutoAr one, to further a better representation for the team as it was back then. The "Porsche grey" one is still available as extra and selectable in the menu, if you so choose.
O Added multiple pit-stops for both players and AI, to avoid the AI running out of fuel while simulating full-length races.
O Improved the downshift algorithm for the Alfa Romeos.
O Added balancing penalties for driving aids.
O Removed options from the pit menu that shouldn't have been there.
O Fixed double-drivers appearing in some carsets (like Chiron and Fangio appearing twice).
O Fixed the Talbot-Lago not having a starting sound: the issue was in a typo in the sfx file.
O Added the horn sound effect to the FIAT Topolino (Bosch Megatone Horn 0 986 AH0 203).
