Gp3 1.13 - The last secrets : long Replay.

One of well known problems with GP3 1.13 (as they have sorted out with
2000 season edition, and so in GP4) is about the long replay.
The problem happens cause the original GP3 and 1.13 has not native support for long replay, and it has been implemented apart, with utility
gp3Video.exe, in late 2000: it works fine if dry race, but it's going a mess if wet or variable weather.
This is due to track evolution is not mapped in the replay function as in 20 seconds replay there is no track evolution, but in long replay
grip changes, and older and older clips don't match with player recorded commands.

However statistically,
I found some way to make it working , JUST IN SOME circumstances, but (this is the important discover) not randomly.
Is not still working in variable condition, I'll have to find and try
more tests, but in some soaked race, you can have it working
following these steps :

1. before start the game configure GPxPatch :
- select the right executable in GPxPatch tab, to gp3v.exe, generated with gp3Video.exe util.
- in GPxSet tab,
deselect "car performance team dependent" checkbox (itll apply the Gp3Edit value, anyway).
- Click button "Session Settings"
- put weather->Custom , rain prob. over 95%.
- put random seed -> Use; the seed numbers to put in textbox: 58939,13608,27149,52283,65184,1580
2. Then confirm and "Start GPx" as normal.

go to do your race...

3. when you want replay,
- exit quickly from the cockpit by "<-" key and press "P" ( as sometimes it crash if press P in cockpit).
- DO NOT PRESS "R" to run replay,
INSTEAD press just " ; " key to see from starting race.
- Then, just resee the race from start or move forward/backward
20 seconds at time with " [ " or " ] " keys, up to the point you were.
- when at the end of replay you can repress P and "->" to come back in
cockpit as normal.
And that's all. It works with rain , in normal and quick race.
I have tested several...

Statistically the important things seems be not checked the "power team dependent"
and not press R , for replay but just move with gp3Video keys forward/backward.

Let me know if it's working for You too..
