The time of reckoning has come. The time is nigh when we all will turn our heads to rFactorcentral and see what we have been waiting for...The release of MMG's F1 2007 Mod Full Version v1.0.
Close the door to your computer room, lock it so your wife and kids can't get in and bug you, shut the curtains, remove the phone from the plug, be sure to have your year worth of supplies to sustain you for that long. Then begin counting down to the mod release, refreshing the page every 5 seconds, wondering when the hell it will be posted, swearing, creating new swear words the world has never heard before, waiting impatiently for the mod, and as it appears, you quickly click on it and begin downloading only to have your net or power go off. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That will be sound the world will hear united throughout earth, the first sound from earth to be heard in space. We will witness a new birth of satelites, as computer monitors and desktops become airborn through windows or doors and orbit the earth like satelites. Only to realise that the power cut or net outage lasted a few seconds just enough for you to throw that hissy fit. God, doesn't it feel sooooooo good? What? it doesn't? Oh ok...guess I was wrong...OH RIGHT!!! I have the mod so what do I care? :P What's that? I'm on the hit list of 99% of community members now? LOL Thats hilarious, tell me something I don't know already. HAHAHA
Hey all, I hope you liked my little rendition above, just a little humor before release. I hope you all don't mind :)
Things have been going really well the last few days. Helmets are now done, suits are also 99% done with the last one being finalized. Sounds are being done by Antonio. Unfortunately he won't be able to finish all the individual sounds so for the release we will have an MMG 2007 Base Sound for all teams, which will be to Antonio's normal quality which you have all seen in the 1991 mod. And then as soon as we can after release we will release a sound pack for those who want the seperate sounds. I hope you all will make do with what we have.
All cars and safety car are in game now, which is great, no FPS issues whatsoever which is also great. So things are looking to be a great surprise for the community.
We will have the first five tracks of the season along with working AI from Phil Sousa in the mod. The tracks are used temporarily with permission from the original creators until the MMG tracks are done. However the Barcelona track is the first MMG track you are acquiring, its only a v1.0 and we will be making changes. We will be releasing the MMG Track Pack as soon as we can, however more temporary tracks with the AI fixes will be released used with permission until all of ours are done and our trackpack is released.
We have been working really hard the last week. I have also had to contend with more of these idiotic leaks, having megaupload delete more beta leaks. Its just so fucken stupid people resort to this. Unbelievable really.
The entire group has worked immensely the last week to get everything done, even admins from various certified leagues have stepped up to help with some helmet painting, suit painting, and more. It is great to see the support we're getting from the league admins who have done a fantastic job being apart of MMG.
The mod has had all our love and passion go into it. Everyone who has worked on it. We have done the utmost best we could do with the experience we currently have. We hope you all enjoy it. I would like to thank the entire group that worked so hard, the individuals outside of the group that contributed their work to the mod, and the league admins who did their best to help us finish this in time. Excellent team work and unision guys! I am so proud of all of you.
I would also like to thank the community for their support throughout the development of our mods, this one mainly, through the demo release of the 2007 mod, and through the waiting period from the demo till now for the final release. Most of you have been really great about it all and we are so happy to be able to produce this mod for your enjoyment, we hope you all do enjoy it! Its not long now!
Now lets clear some things up. Some people still hate me and MMG for what they call false promises, or mods not yet being done, some people thinking 1991 and 1994 especially are dead mods. NONE of our mods are dead. Far from it, but let me explain.
It was my failure as the leader of the group (and I hope you know how much it takes for me to say this) to release info of the mods as early as I did. I began with 1994 and 2006 mod (never promised 2005 mod) when we first came to rFactor. We had limited knowledge and at the time were still learning how to mod rfactor. We decided to stop 2006 and give our models to FSOne because we felt it was not worth competing with FSOne at the time, and we wanted to learn more about the game and begin the creation of the 2007 mod before anyone else began it.
We felt most people would prefer a 07 mod as soon as possible, again my failure was to release news too early.
As we progressed through the 07 mod, and learnt so much more about the game, how to do things better, new ways and styles and settings to do things in game to utilize the entire structure of the game, everything rose our experience greatly and it turned a new leaf into MMG. Due to these new finds however, we saw something that was upsetting. The 1994 cars we had made at that point had to all undergo major re-modelling.
Our inexperience in our beginning years on rfactor was what made those cars have problems, and it was our inexperience that made us have to fix them which we're doing at the moment. Whilst the mod has taken a long time to get done, cars are being fixed, they are being worked on, and we're hoping to produce a demo as soon as possible.
We are going back and using the experience we gained, to bring the 1994, 1991, and all other mods we make to the 07 mod quality. I'm sure everyone would prefer the best quality then some shit quality that is buggy in game.
I apologise to the community formally that my releasing of information has kept people waiting for so long. I apologise that the much adorned 1994 mod is still in the waiting. But I assure you that work has not stopped.
In all guys, I'm just a normal 25 year old guy, who loves modding, and loves F1. Its my passion to do this. I know many of you hate me, and I'm sorry that you do. I respect everyone equally and only ask for the selfsame in return. I never mean to offend anyone, and if anyone takes offence from me, I try to resolve the issue. Common guys, I'm just another human being trying to do my best, don't put me down for that. Sighs...there's not much else I can say is there? I just hope that someday all this animosity can go away. I am trying my best. I thank you all for your time, I hope you enjoyed reading todays blog.

i loved the first part the most!(laugh)=D...
PS:start writing a book please!
the people who "hate" you are not worth your time, or mods.
you and your group do amazing work, and continue to be very helpful and supportive to the rfactor community.
thank you, you deserve more than we can ever pay
Agree, it's not even worth your time to acknowledge the haters or what they have to say.
Good luck with the release of your mod.
It's impossible to please the world. It's part of humans never to be happy.
Nevermind who hate or ignore you. Praise the ones who love you.
I don't love you (not even on a sexual sense of the world LOL) as I don't know you, but I must at least thank you for all the hard work you had and still have in making this mods, expecially MMG 2007, which I've played the Demo and simply love it.
There will be a F1 championship here in Portugal, your new mod is one of the possibilities for the championship. Test races in March will decide which is the mod that will be used when the championship starts in 31/03, in which I'll participate.
Your mod has been such a training, even in a demo version. Graphics are great, but I have one "complain". McLaren is missing a part of the front wing, some kind of semi-arc or something, at least on the demo. I'm referring to this:

Thanks for your hard work again. I'll be watching your site, blog and rfactor central all day, waiting for the mod release.
Cheers
I expect it to be a great mod, and good work, this is not putting 'cheez wiz' on your table (i would hope so for you), but you devoted alot of time on this. The use of your mod by our league is waited with alot of patience. Cant wait to try it. For those who shit on you? Well, in life, we must never forget that we cant please all, they will always be one to be jalous that you can accomplish things that they cant... Im not going to be sorry for them!!!
One word for this new mod : Merci!

When I downshift without ABS my wheels lock and I just go straight and miss corners... I'm using red momo so any help would be appreciated. My msn and email is poulinalexandre@hotmail.com
