GP3 or GP32k??

Hi all

just wondered what everyone is using GP3 or GP32k?

kind regards

Gp3 1.13 for me.
For what i know, Gp3 is easier to modify; Gp3 2k is a bit better about physic and has some implementation (as a better AI).
Anyway, I play with a Force Feedback wheel and pedals, and Gp3 gives me a lot of fun.

GP3 1.13 AND GP32k, why only one ?

Happy racing from Germany !!!

Hello
I use GP3 1.13 because I do not have GP3 2000.
But I have reduces all 2007 tracks (and some of 1997-2006) by belini.
Have a lot of fun too.

GP32k has better racing, I think. And accepts more detailed tracks. But the differences are not that big.

I like GP32k more.

GP32k... I can put different cars on the same team!

And this is really a good feature, Rod!
Bye.

Its a tough call. GP3 seems easier to modify with tools like GP3Edit but 2k can be modded in all the same ways with a little bit more effort. 2k has bigger track handling, 7 gears, I think an extra circuit and different cars in a team. So I should use 2k but I still go to 1.13 for the simple fun of it. I think that effort of changing to 2k is too much for me unless I have a major crash and can't restore all my lovely 1.13 extra data files.
Just for the record, I tried GP4 and thought it clunky straight from the box. The downloads of tracks and cars is terrifying on dial-up and the game play is not noticeably better.

2000 doesn't have 7 gears. I have seen you post that before and have no idea when you got that information from.

For me 2000 is much better - it just feels nicer in the cockpit, the menus are far more aesthetically pleasing, and modding is not a big problem for me. Sure, it is more time consuming unless you are lucky enough to stumble upon a specific package you want, but ultimately just as satisfying.

I think the one thing that makes me prefer 2000 over 1.13 is that when using the keyboard the throttle feed is more controlled. On 1.13 if you have TC off and step on the power you are almost instantly at max revs and spinning all over the place. 2000 improved this significantly.... sure, it make driving easier, but that isn't really my point, it just feels better.

Oops! I tried out 2k immediately after trying GP4 which does have a 7 gear option. My mistake. Sorry guys.

Is their a guide on how to modify GP3 2k? I seem to remember trying to mod it years ago but not having much success. I've been using GP3 to run my 1980s seasons but I wouldn't mind switching to 2k instead if its not too hard.

Hi Saih

Here is a link to a great file which gives you a good basis for editing etc but also try GPxPatch for GP3 2K it comes with a good readme file which can help.
If your donloading Belini tracks then the search button on the forum and belini read me file will give you some answers.

And another great way of getting info is from the great guys on this site who are always willing to give advice on any questions you have,

[www.grandprixgames.org]
GPxPatch read me
Belini read me file(tracks)

Its not easy as first but you will get it in the end.

kind regards

Thank you for your suggestions, I will read through that guide and see if their is anything I have missed. Yes I already use GPxPatch, a great program. I was thinking more along the lines of what GP3edit does for GP3 but in GP3 2k

GP3 Edit won't export to GP32K. In GP32K, use JamTool to change liveries. GP3Edit is useful for editing the performance files for both.
