GPxPatch 4.30a [Released]

I thought so. Too bad that it's not a percentage value, that would have been nice. Random soft/hard allocation for the AI with different soft/hard tread types.

Maybe I can make it a percentage like that.

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

And please, try to repair the problem with mixed michelin and bridgestone tyres in wet conditions. I use original tyres in 2001 season. Maybe in new seasons with only one manufacturer there are no problems...
Thanks for your great job. GPxPatch is an amazing tool for GP4.

@javifast: Is that a GP4 bug or a GPxPatch bug?

I think is a problem with the last version of gpxpatch, with other versions there is no problem with tyres.

Do you have any modifications to the game, or is everything default?
Have you selected a performance file?
Have you enabled GPxSet?

I have little modifications on the cars.wad, but tyres are originals,..only some graphics updates on 2001 cars. I have all enabled,..and I have problems with or without performance file. In dry tyres all is correct,...but when i put intermediate or wets,..all cars are wrong. Some bridgestone cars put michelins,...etc. If there is a dry race and I put an intermedite for example,..other cars do that too, and again mixed brands of tyres.

Are the brands consistently mixed? Or is it random?

I really don't know. In tcam view usally are the treads the problem. And inside cockpit the problem are the brand of tyres,..but I think that Ferrari and McLaren for example don't have problems,...always are bridgestone. But I have to try more races to be completely sure.

I can't reproduce it...

René, is there a way to have instant speed at a split, instead of the max speed after a certain distance ? I tried putting 1 in the "speed trap width" option, but the display (at least on Digital 2001-2002) would stay on screen only for a split second. I often use that data when I want to simulate real laps, but it's hard to gauge my current speed when what I see is the speed I'm carrying 75 sectors further down the track.

If that hasn't been implemented yet, behaviour should be like this for Digital :





Could be done on both timer and speed displays, hopefully I hope I'm now asking for too much

Well, I tried with a fresh installation of the game,....I select for example a Jordan....It's a dry race,...I put intermediate tyres,...All othe cars star with dry tyres of course,...but other cars graphics start to change tyres, brands,...very fast,...It's like if the game can't read the tyres options correctly from other cars. It's a little ramdom, they start to mix tyres graphics,...

how do i turn off the music i have everytime i start

If you mean the GP4 in sim menu music?
You could just go to the Option Menu click Sound & put the Music Volume to Zero

Or I guess you could also rename or delete the files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Grand Prix 4\sound\PC

Hello René.
Is it possible to make specific helmet shapes for each driver in gp4?

Nope.

I noticed a small bug, no mods installed, just using the perf file below. The treads of the mclaren were white, unless I added the line PatchTextures=0 to the gpxset.ini.

Rene - I've been playng with this new (awesome) feature and have a couple of questions:

Rather than translate each prefix into an index, would it not be simpler to just put the prefix against each team like this:

[TreadTextures]
Team #00=pirelli
Team #01=bridgestone
Team #02=michelin
Team #03=goodyear
... etc

[WheelTextures]
Team #00=oz
Team #01=enkei
Team #02=oz
Team #03=advanti
Team #04=enkei
... etc

Also, having this in the perf file is not ideal since it means you need a separate perf file for each race just to get the tyres right. Can we move it out into another file called Tyres.ini or something please?
