merry christmas

fixed rfm bug + enhencements
more hp, still power is nothing without control, updated tires also
fixed green line on soft tires
realfeel force feedback is now on by default, you can turn it off with a “buy it upgrade”

I must apologize to everyone who downloaded the update, funny thing rfactor took some random backup file and used it as if it were the actual file even tho it was renamed and in another subfolder… and I built the whole physics around that file apparently, I really didn’t see that coming
so here’s the fixed version

ok, some think that it’s not clear how you install the f1 2009 style, so this post might clear some mind

-1st Framework: the plugin itself doesn’t need it, but the configuration application(s) does
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0

-2nd install tvstyle display plugin v0.91 by the italian factory(here’s a gift as you would have to install 0.90 then after 0.91 update)
tv style display plugin v0.91 full*:
rapidshare
or
mediafire

-3rd : then install the F1 2009 tv style
if you had to read this, you wanna download the .exe installer witch you will install in your rfactor directory
rapidshare
filefront
mediafire
megaupload

other usefull infos:
tvstyleconfig is located in you rfactor\Plugins\TVSTYLE folder
there is a mod selector button at the top right of the application

you click it and associate mods with tvstyles ether mod by mod or/and there’s the default value that is gonna be the selected mod where you left blanks in the mod by mod selection

don’t forget to click save before closing the window

VISTA USERS run rfactor as administrator(right click on rfactor’s icon and select run as administrator)

If the TV-STYLE flash during the overlay:
PRESS CTRL+F to view the FPS, It can solve the problem.

IF YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEM TRY TO USE RFACTOR WITH A
CLEAR PLR.(create new user into rfactor)
If you have special characters(ex *) in your username that might cause a problem

WORK on Rfactor v1250 and above

With my configuration application(located in rFactor\Plugins\TVSTYLE\F1_2k9prunn\f1_2009config.exe) I wanted to simplify the use of tvstyleconfig but you can’t select the tvstyles mod by mod it only overwrites the default option

all of these infos were in the read me files and descriptions of downloads

*I rebuilded the installer of the tvstyle plugin to make it easier for people but I am not the original author of the plugin

added:
if you really don’t want to install framework go to your rFactor\Plugins\TVSTYLE folder open the file default.tv with notepad and write there the name of the folder you wanna use for exemple for f1 2009 it would be : F1_2k9prunn save as and overwrite it with this save as
no spaces no return, only the name
but you are still better installing framework if you’re lost in there

I finally finished the 2009 F1 style with the configuration application witch required framework 2.0 to run properly and it use some presets I made to position everything as you’d like with a couple of clicks

new features:

launch f1_2009config.exe in the F1_2k9prunn folder for more options(it launches automatically at the end of the install)
-resolution used
-position of the revmetter: left or right :: note that the Qualification time will be on the opposite side
-knockout zone mode on or off
-put it as default rfactor style (same thing as tvstyle config, with only the set default option)
-tv logo used
-smaller ui choice for bigger screens or normal

it scored a first test at 3d mark 06 of 11500 witch is pretty good for a system like that with absolutely no overcloacking. Far from the fastest pc ever but still extremely good compared to what I had… and for my budget. I runned the grid demo and it can barely feel it, this thing won’t lag!

now some shots
