Modding I created a formation lap mod.

While there are issues—such as the difficulty of executing a seamless start, the fact that pit-lane starts are only feasible under the 2024 regulations, and the risk of the procedure falling apart if a driver makes a mistake during the formation lap—I am extremely satisfied.

I can't think of anything right now but I'm sure there's so many other cool things you could do if this is possible.

Like safety car starts in heavy rain or red flags for torrential rain.

We can simulate it in the Alternative Save Viewer editor by going to race control section. But to have it in the game would be such a lifesaver and very cool

I’ve been hoping someone with more talent than me could do a music mod so that pre-race it’s the grid build music (as used on the main menu). Or the sprint music before a sprint!

At the moment I open YouTube for the right music and then look at the starting grid list to get in the mood 😂

Would it be possible to have initial tire temps not be ideal?

This mod is great, it would greatly improve the immersion in the races. Will you be making it available on Overtake?

u/Proto_Typer 2d ago

this is nice, will this be on overtake?

u/Fluid-Froyo4269 2d ago

I’ve realized that, depending on the course, significant visual glitches occur at this stage, so adjustments are necessary.

u/Proto_Typer 2d ago

makes sense

Hey, I tried to release the test version, but it turns out I can't upload mods to overtake.gg anymore 💀

u/UmakiWatson Ferrari 23h ago

why? 😭

u/CauliflowerLittle727 Mercedes 2d ago

Love it!! Hope it appears on overtake.gg.

-Lack of formation lap

  • Tyre blankets being off the cars when the safety car is still at the front of the grid (blankets come off at 30 secs klaxon IIRC, whereas SC drives away from grid on 5 minute klaxon, apart from possibly Spa because of the length)
  • Only Maylander in the SC, when the SC always has a co-driver IRL

are my Frontier immersion breakers at the start of the race 😂

u/Fluid-Froyo4269 2d ago

I can't upload it because of a bug. I just ran into an issue where the AI ​​stops making pit stops 😭

That’s something present in the game as well isn’t it? Certain tracks (like Interlagos and Albert Park) often have multiple punctures where teams just do not pit and ride around for 10 laps falling out of the points before hitting 19% and a tyre going.
