do you mean in the parking area? i remember a track like this (belle isle maybe)
if yes, copy paste an 0xe9 command from the original Buenos aires pitlane to this track. in the guide to gp2 conversion i made a recall to this process... good luck :)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Well, about Detroit, i'm working on it, but it seems to be quite hard.
About texture, almost ok: i fixed the flash/flip, i added the fence extension on the track and on the pitlane. But the CC line needs a restyling (the CC often crash at the first corner, maybe need a CC couching command, but i noticed that it also solves texture flashing...)and exiting the pit still remains a graphic bug. Therefore, there's a bug in the pitlane (the cars stand on the grass...) and i still not solved it.
And, above all, sometimes i solved a problem by chance...and try to learn..  
A few circuits are almost ready.

      <description><![CDATA[Hi, I'm desperately seeking for Bruno Gourdo's Monaco 2003 versione for gP3.
I think it exists both in SW than HW mode.

The link on the old.gpg.org doesn't work, the Patrick F1's 2004 version doesn't work because of some mistakes on Jams (no jams can be viewed).
can anyone send me (to f1gp3wc@gmail.com) the trackfiles?

I don't know if it exist a MarcosGP version, but it would be very appreciated.

Tahnx in advance]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi people. For those who like night races, i've just uploaded in the download section\misc graphics a night race pack.
It contains:
- new nightsky bitmat (a sky full of stars)
- the night_tarmac bitmap
You just have to set Gpxpatch to use them, no need to modify any jams: it works well expecially in ovals and city tracks, and it is pretty realistic (due to the game movement, the stars seems to shine...).
To have the feeling of a real night race, of course play in a dark room at evening :-)
Hope you like it.

P.s. Coming soon, a few CART tracks i finished and/or fixed somewhat (st. Petersburg, Toronto, Vancouver, Portland, Mexico City...): for these, i will give full credits to the authors, of course. If anyone does not agree, just let me know.

      <description><![CDATA[oops,

For wing settings, just add 151.

If you want 20/20 (Monaco), just use 171/171.

If you want, let's say, 8/6 (Monza), use 159/157.

The same for gear ratios.

However, there IS a random factor for AI cars. I mean, if the rear wing is set to 10, it can be either 9, 10 or 11. It varies from team to team in each session you start. As far as I can remember, when set to 1 it is either 1 or 2, and when set to 20 it is either 19 or 20.

You can check this by selecting zero driver (watch cc's only), then starting a session and coming back to the driver menu. Select any driver and check his wings setup...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This is totally new for me: 7 stop, fantastic! You have won the cup of the most funny problem.
Therefore, i knew that tyre consumtion for CC was automatically calculated, no way to set it; you can only choose the tyre compound.
Well, my usual problems are:
- cc very slow at the start
- cc very slow in corners (expecially in short ovals)
- cc too fast on straight
- cc too donkey in closing the door
- in some circuit the cc setup in Md doesn't match what they really do
- cc very fast in a sector, and then very slow in others
Usually i can solve these problems via MD, but sometimes there's no way, and the track is gone... (ah, Daytona).
Anyway, i can get enough fun by playing Gp3, and i forget all...

      <description><![CDATA[Claudio, I'm so glad you have problems too. I thought it was just me. On some F1 tracks all the cars seem to slow by about 2 sec a lap after 3 or 4 laps. I put it down to tyre wear but at Sepang it is most pronounced and I've still to get better consistency there or it makes a 7 stop race a viable proposition :))]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ok, it's interesting. I also read the link SuperSonic posted.
What i meant was that i test and when i get what i was looking for it's ok. Anyway, always useful to learn something new.
About wings (of course i read Roberto Scandura's tutorial and a lot of forum posts about MD) i still have a doubt: ok, CC car can be set 0 to 21; but if i use the CC setup editor (the utility simply reads the value in the MD)i get this:
MD value 171 = 20 (ok, it is the highest in the game), but for value into the range it gives the game value.
I try to explain: if MD 171 is 21, MD 170 should be 20, but CC setup read 19, and so on. I don't know.
But i have been testing for many years, and i noticed that it is very very difficoult to set the parameters just as i want (easier in some tracks, difficoult in others, impossible in a few):
An example. I like ovals very much, so i was working about Fontana: starting a quick race, i noticed that CC cars had a very very slow start (even if i was 20th on the grid i passed them all before turn n.1) so i tried to correct the problem via MD file. After days of testing, i did so: set a very high CC engine power value, rear wing to 10 (mine is set to 1) and set a different gear ratio to have the CC top speed as mine. Notice that all the other value (air resistance, track grip...) were exactly as in other ovals (as Indy) where there was not the problem of slow start. Same problem in Daytona, i tried to do the same, but no solution, track not raceble.
So, i mean: i like editing Gp3 very much (i spend more time editing than playing...) but i still think it is difficoult (never said impossible) to convert all MD (and game) value into some &quot;real&quot; value (value that works like in real life).
Anyway, i repeat, always good to try something new.
Bye, Claudio.]]></description>

how can you convert the 171 value for
&gt; the front wing to the 20 that appears in the game?
&gt; I mean, in the game 20 should be the degree of the
&gt; front wing. So, i think it is difficoult to
&gt; convert the value of the MD: i just test.
&gt; Claudio.

No, Claudio, it is easy. You may have 20 as a wing setting in the game but Magic Data is not quite so restricted. Simply take 150 from the MD value and the result is the wing setting. Yes CC cars can be set to 21 in MD but that just makes the way you set your car up a bit more demanding. This also works for gear ratios. I'm sure there's a tutorial somewhere on here.]]></description>
