The Workshop Thread: What are you working on?

Hi! i've been speaking with some of you directly, but I'm finally in a position to share something I've been working on for a while that I think will interest you

it is yet another "carreer mode companion app" (they've been popping up few of these in the last few weeks!) but entirely focused on historic f1 content.

I've always admired the work a lot of you did to cover as many f1 seasons as possible on AMS2 but i've always wondered: "wouldn't that be cool to have a way to "connect" all these seasons to make a cohesive carreer?"

and here it comes: "Rewind GP"


with this app you can create a carreer that spans multiple f1 season. for those who are wondering "why the fake names?" that's because they are placeholders, but the app is completely customizable and also the available f1 season mods could be adapted to make it work and replace the fake names and liveries with the actual ones (i'll provide a tool to help with conversion)

the app currently will only include this "fake 1996 season" that repeats itself over and over, but the app could be expanded and new seasons can be installed, both in the past and in the present.



I so far converted the seasons 96, 97 and 98 based on the wonderful work of the immersion moddin group, AFry, LadyCrousette etc.. but i'm not allowed to share these until i got permission from the creators.

Nice features include driver market between seasons based on reputation and age (it becomes more difficult to be hired by top teams as you age) and DYNAMIC LIVERIES AND HELMETS: the world champion will have the car n.1 no matter which team joins, and if the champion retires number 0 will be available! also, the helmet for each driver will have that specific team's sponsor!

this is how it will appear with the official cars (i've swapped around drivers to show how the helmets adapt to the teams and the liveries chaning numbers:



I'm planning to release the app entirely for free on overtake in the next few days.

 

VERY interesting proposition sir!

 

Working on a BMW M1 Procar 1980 Season mod.
First drop will probably come soon.

 

Over the past few weeks I've been working on this little thing - my aim is to bring a full round-by-round, as accurate as possible livery set for the 1994 F1 Season onto the Formula V12.

My sources are currently the 1994 F1 mod for rFactor (which, admittedly, isn't the most accurate as far as liveries go) and whatever acceptable photos Google spits out at me.

My current progress is as follows: Cars 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are done round-by-round. Cars 0, 2 (all three drivers) have their helmets. Suits and gloves I haven't even looked at yet. TL;DR: I'm now starting to work on the Footwork livery. Surely can't be that hard, can it?

I hope to eventually be able to publish this, although I'm afraid it'd take quite a while since this is my first ever dive into AMS2 modding and there are a lot of things I've not figured out yet. Hopefully my (very limited) Photoshop skills end up being acceptable!

 

I am working on a new Content Manager for AMS.

 

This is nice, and a need for the community I think. But now I wonder about the car....

 

That car is a multi year pet project of mine.

Beta testing the app is open on request.
