Using the mod carset 69x, you can have
McLaren MS7, BT24 and 26b, lotus 49b and 49 , BRM P126, Cooper T86, Matra MS10

If we mixed  "IRRIDUX carset "we will increasingly
1 cooper, 1 Matra , 1 BRM ; the eagle and 1 Honda
one might even add the Matra MS7 (F2)  (replacing the eagle 69 in the carset ? to Beltoise's AI at Kyalami)

this would give each track 1968 F1 championship a special driv69.ini.

It would be long enough to do and  I do not know if many people
a ) would be interested ?
b ) loaned to participate in this work ?

I guess many people WILL be interested.
The question is how to participate. I have no idea how could I (for example) help in this work. I would like it, for sure.

Cheers, Marcos.

Hi Ed,
I would be certainly interested

Amazing pictures Irridux. Your 65 update is excellent, and historical grids for 67 and 68 would  be extremely welcome.
Not sure how I could contribute to this, not being an editor, but please take this as a strong expression of interest and support.

[ed76]

I thought for driv69.ini take the 19 drivers marked with a blue dot and complete with alternates when they're absent.
like that :

This would be amazing! It looks like Irridux has already begun?

[Andy Clegg]

In 1968 Brian Redman gave me one or two photos of the F1's if they would help.

If wanted I can setup a private forum so you can work on this. Just let me know who is to be in the forum.

Some cars, like the 1968 Eagle and Honda, would need some updates as well. I got a bunch of jobs to do, but when they are done I'd be glad to help a willing hand .

I'm not a Modder myself, but i love GPL and i always thought it was a shame to have the F1 Mods for 65, 66, 67, 69 and have that 'gap' of 1968 nor being represented.

Would be great to have a 'stand alone' Mod, as opposed to a Car Set, but from reading these forums for a few years i fully appreciate (or try to) the amount of work required to achieve these to the usual high GPL standards. The Modders have my full respect

I'm unsure how different the 68 physics would be to the 69 physics, if at all.

I agree by the way, Irridux's 65 & 66 Mod updates that are historically accurate are brilliant.

A 68 Mod is in my wish list and I have a lot of textures upgrade nearly ready but we need a Team support for the modifications of the phisics, some 3D structures (Honda for example) and the basics Mod platform.
However, the pics are related to a preliminary version of 68 Carset.
Certainly, it needs a lot of work anyway.

The problem with doing a good job of 1968 is that it is even more diverse that 69.

Once you start doing research you can see there are so many different car configuations being used.
1968 was the start of aero in GP and they had not really got a handle on it. By the end of the season the cars were looking something like 69 but the early part of the season is a real mixture of ideas.

So modelling all these cars and trying to get a physics to work that suits all these car configuations would be a nightmare and at best, a compromise.

That is why no one has tried to do it so far.

I have had a sort of 68mod on my HD for years. But it is not up to the standards of 65,66 or 69(69x) so I will never release it as it is.
If someone has 3 years of their life to spare and lots of dedication and skills at 3Do modelling and physics creation maybe we will see a proper 68mod.

But perhaps a carset, like what Irridux has posted screenshots of, that
are completely new for us would be enough and the races of them-abbreviated
season,would make us happy

[chris skepis]

fantastic !!!!!.....i´m dying to see the mc larens.
to make the 68mod historicaly  correct, we now desperately need rain !!!
