Recommendations for Mod add-ons

For the best results with this mod, I recommend also using the Extended
Camera and Enhanced Graphics mods available on the Nexus website. Whilst
not required for the mod to work, the definitely make the game look better.

For these mods, you will also need to download a programme called Unity Mod
Manager. These mods go in a separate mod folder (located in the main
motorsport manager folder) so do not clash with this mod.

With these two mods enabled, in-game racing can look like this:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

WHEEL MODELS

- For Formula 1, 2, and 3, soft yellow Pirelli tyres are used on the car
models. These cannot be changed depending on the weather.
Therefore, if your in-game car is using intermediates, the car model
will still have soft yellow tyres on it.
-
NOT USING THR ENHANCED GRAPHICS MOD
- It is recommended that the Enhanced Graphics mod is use alongside
this F1 2022 Manager mod. If this is not used, tyre models will not
spin, and it may be the case that some livery on in-race models may
not align fully.

Modding Guide Extension

If you are looking to make changes to this mod then here are major
details for doing so:
Changing Teams
Information on teams is included in the Teams.txt file. Names, budgets, rivals,
and pressures can be changed here.
For liveries and colours, the Teams.txt file acts alongside the Team Colours.txt
file.

In this case, 1 refers to the number line in the Team Colours.txt file and 21
refers to the livery number.

Changing Promotions
If you want to remove promotions in-game, then there is a simple change to
make. Inside the championships.txt file inside the Database folder, change the
mentions of TRUE to FALSE. Do not do this for the lowest category series in the
Single Seaters, GT, or Endurance, however.
 16

Warning: If this change is made then information for other series may no
longer be available. With this in mind, using a save game editor towards the
end of a season could be used to avoid promotions between seasons.

Other Database Files

Default Parts – Changes the starting stats of various teams. Numbers

correspond with those of the teams.txt files.
Part Suppliers and Chassis – Includes the names of suppliers, their costs, and
which teams cannot use them. The Chassis.txt file documents which teams use
which supplier.

HQ – The level of HQ buildings per team is listed in his file. Corresponds with
the Buildings.txt file.
Journalists and Media Outlets – Journalists and media outlets also correspond.
Personality Traits – It is best not to edit this file as renaming Personality Traits
in this file will not make a change in game. Editing another two files not
available in this folder is required for this.
Sponsors – This includes details on sponsors, the teams which use them, their
bonuses, and the length of their contracts.

Key Tips for Modding:

Back-up your changes frequently. Unnecessary errors can render hours

of work meaningless.
Notepad and Excel can be used for modding. Microsoft Visual Studio is
the best means for editing, however.
Some files such as Personality Traits and Buildings may open with the
warning of Inconsistent Line Endings. Press No to the warning.
