    Installation Notes

    Subscribing and downloading is not enough. You need to follow the steps in the manual!

    Please read the installation instructions carefully. You can find them at
    drive:\...\steamapps\workshop\content\415200\2827485583\extras

    Use a clean installation and no other mods!

    If you need to reinstall the game, start it once without downloading the mod. This prevents a bug that occurs when selecting 2D or 3D mod. Then quit the game, download the mod and follow the instructions.

    Important Notes

    Please check your difficulty settings before you start playing!

    Please note that the tire wear indicator currently shows a value that is too high. Correcting this is not easy. We will look at this later.

    Mod Updates

    We are constantly improving our mod and uploading updates. We therefore recommend that you keep the mod up to date and install updates as soon as they are released. To do this, you must repeat the steps from the installation instructions, as .dll and assets are not installed simply by downloading them.

    Other Mods

    Do not use any other mods in combination. File structure of database and images are changed in this mod, so additional mods will definitely not work.

    We can only recommend the following mods:

    "Enhanced Graphics" https://www.nexusmods.com/motorsportmanager/mods/3
    "Extended Camera" https://www.nexusmods.com/motorsportmanager/mods/1

    Bug Reporting

    If you have any major bugs like crash to desktop please send us the "output_log.txt" file in your "\Motorsport Manager\MM_Data" folder

    to the following mail addess: MotorsportManagerMod [at] proton.me

    or join us on TheRovarians Discord: https://discord.gg/6xfMVnZbnU

    Supporters

    TheRovarian is a very great Twitch streamer who actually plays our mod. If you like to check out his channel please visit him: https://www.twitch.tv/therovarian
    He also uploads his 1995 Simtek career on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aauIrVTFXKM

    What are we currently working on?

    The next update contains the 1997 season including special team events. We are also revising the driver contracts, the behaviour of the AI in contract negotiations and the salary demands of drivers.

Hi everybody,

I wanted to present you with the preliminary change list for the upcoming interim update. The features still need to be tested a bit, but first impressions look good. As always, I will let you know when it's ready!

Version: 0.44.50
- new logic implemented for car statistics charts
- new logic implemented for correctly ranking teams with equal points
- fixed a bug in the race results screen that displayed a penalty that was not awarded in the race
- live race standings now display the driver with the fastest lap in purple
- fixed temperature increase during rain; temperatures now drop or remain unchanged
- new logic implemented for shuffling sponsors and teams for sponsorship offers
- race start: first step taken to prevent unrealistic race starts in the game
- fixed selection of part components at the start of the 2009 season

Hello everyone,

since the major update still needs some time, I have started preparing an interim update with many bug fixes and new features. I will provide you with a list of all the contents of the update in the coming weeks. As always, this will be made available for all our mods.

Have fun!

Hi tomato33 (HUN),

thanks for feedback. Actually we are not working or planning on sound effects. Our to-do-list is sooo long! :D
tomato33 (HUN) 15 Sep @ 12:50am 
Keep up the good work, the 90's are my favourite (1995 and 1996 the most). Is it possible to modify engine sounds in the mod for V10 F1? Are you planning that?

Hi asapas,

i'm glad you enjoy our mod.
Track names are correct, but track layouts are unfortunately fictional ones from the Vanilla game.
asapas 2 Sep @ 8:39am 
you have done an AMAZING job!!!
one question, are the tracks real? I mean those that drivers raced in each of those years???

Any new news?
Maerker  [author] 22 Jun @ 2:03pm 
Hi Leo_Major,

at the moment teams do not change their names, unless this is already implemented as an event (e.g. if you play in 1996 Prost or Footwork). If you start in another year in which the event did not take place, there will be no name change.
Whether we will be able to implement the possibility of teams changing their names or even their existence in all years at some point is something I have to leave open at the moment. This depends, among other things, on whether we manage to get a 13th team up and running.
