Cars are without fuel…

I don't know what it's happening. I use 3.91 Gpxpatch and one program called "GP3PitEd" that edits the number of pits and the number of laps. The problem is that some cars are without fuel in the last lap of races 100%. Somebody can help me? Thanks a lot.

The magic data of the tracks may be slightly incorrect for fuel consumption. Adjust it and see if it makes a difference.

Yep, the magic data controls the fuel usage for each track. You can easily check it by doing a quickrace. If there is less than 1 lap of fuel left at the end, the cars will run out in a longer race. I had to do a lot of changing when I set the engines up to 19,000+ revs (obvious really).

So sorry, but how can i modify these archives? I am using "cmagic" but it's not giving certain, the cars continue without fuel… The tracks have that to be in slot certain? How can i know in which "slot" I must install the track as to know which is slot of it? For example, I am using Donington Park 2003 in slot 02, I used the "md" file ("188 magicdata for tracks". I open the file of the track, then open the "md" file and later "insert date". In the program he appears “done” but it continues the problem. I use a program to edit the number of laps and pit stops, will be that it is causing the problem, find that not. Please help me to use the program cmagic. I know that he seems simple, but I am not deciding the problem. What I'm making of made a mistake?

Cmagic is not the problem and you seem to be using it right. What is wrong for your setup is the .md file you are using. Its just a text file so you can edit it with any text editor. Then re-install it into the track and it should clear the problem. You might need to change it a few times to get it right. Be sure not to overdo the setting as having 20 laps of fuel left at the end is not realistic either. As i said before, check it with a quickrace and see whats left at the end. If its exactly one lap you are close. If its 1.5 laps you have gone too far. I can't give you an exact figure to use as it also depends on the performance settings you use (engine revs etc) and the gear ratios of the cc cars as well as your driven car.
If you load the game through GPxPatch, you can put any track in any slot as it overrides the game's built-in magic data.

????? Where i can find this and how used? Please...

They should be installed on your computer along with your Microsoft operating system.

Go to "Start" on your computer, then "All Programs", and then "Accesories", to access Notepad.

Hi everybody

There's a small utility called Magic Data File Creator v1.10
by Reinier Tetteroo. It's the easiest way to edit md files.
Maybe you'll find it in the old download section.
