Hello guys, today I release the first beta of my F1 2010 conversion.
Before continuing I would like you to read the following :
This is a beta, which purpose for me is to gather feedback before releasing a first V1. I won't have much time to work on it which is why I'm releasing a beta. So that I can take my time for the final release and get something useful in between to have a more polished version at the end
This is my first time doing a conversion. I was disappointed by SimDream bad conversion and since I loved the 2010 season so much I decided to jump into modding to do it myself since nobody really wanted to make a better one. So do not expect that everything will be perfect. I am doing my best to make it as good as possible and put a lot of effort in this one.
Now onto the mod.
- It contains all the cars from the 2010 season, using Codemasters models and the Ferrari virtual academy model for the F10 as it is the most accurate version.
- The sound of the cars have been made by Momo Soundmodding. He has done an amazing job helping me doing them. All 4 engine have their soundbank. Mclaren and Renault will also have their variation.
- The sounds are in beta. While the ferrari and renault and cosworth sounds great, the mercedes and mclaren do have a bit of issue. But the sound will be improved in the V1.
- The physics was made by Luca Ponz, you should already know him for his great work with fixing simdream mods. The cars are fun to drive and feel great, BUT there is an issue currently that still needs to be fixed. If you change something in the setup, the car is undrivable. The reason for that is because changing the setup makes the car too light on the rear train. So physics will also have an update to be better and fix that issue.
- The Renault and Ferrari skin an ao map was reworked by Yezhrod, also known as @TabsGaming42 here, to look better in-game. But he doesn't have much time to help me with the other car so the rest have been made by me. While most cars look great, the Mercedes and McLaren do have a bit of an issue, mostly the Mercedes skin being too light and sponsor fading away when there's too much light on it, and the McLaren metallic effect still needs to be worked on. I changed the AO map in order to change the reflection around the sponsors in order to avoid the sponsors disappearing when there's sunlight on it.
- Car shadow still needs to be fixed once I learn how to do it. Some cars have non-functioning mirrors because I don't know. I've done the correct step on mirrors.ini But I should be able to find a solution. Seeing as mirrors is a minor issue and that even real F1 driver doesn't need them (wink) I will fix it later.
- The suspension also doesn't move but dunno if plan to fix that. Seeing that I must learn a lot of things before getting an animation done I doubt that I'll be able to learn it anytime soon since I have exams and the Erasmus exchange coming up.

- Improve car Shadow and skin issues on some car
- Makes tyres texture work with CSP so that it change when you select either soft or hard compound
