The guide for updating Grand Prix 3 to the 2012 Formula 1 World Championship season!!

Posted by ipswich2007 
Get HereHi guys I have decided to set up this thread early to have the best chance of a fully conclusive 2012 season for GP3, I am again very very sorry for not properly maintaining the 2011 thread I'm not really sure why I didn't get to it. I kind of lost touch and then the amount of new content just became overwhelming and I couldn't remember what needed adding, rest assured the 2012 thread will be regularly updated, with all WIP's and completed 2012 stuff, plus files that are relevant to the 2012 F1 season.

This page will be updated with all the files you will need to get your game into the upcoming season. There is a full guide which will explain everything you need to do to make sure you get the most out of your game. Enjoy :)

This is quite similar to that in the GP4 section - to show all work that has been made for GP3, in an attempt to recreate the 2012 Formula 1 season.

This page will have a guide showing what GP3 software to install (I know other threads show this but I thought I'd include a short overview), it will also show all WIP work and finished 2012 F1 work. Including - Carsets, Tracks & Perf Files.

I will also include a small overview of the 2012 Season itself.

So do tell me if you see anything missing from this page, anything wrong with this page, if you would like your work included or taken off of this page, and do personal message me to let me know if you are working on something for GP3 2012.

Enjoy!,

Nathan

What's needed to update GP3 to the 2011 F1 season.

1. Using your original GP3 disc install the game onto your computer. You can buy it from here Amazon UK
2. Download & Install the official GP3 1.13 patch.
3. Download & Copy the Decrypted GP3 V1.13 No CD Patch to your GP3 folder.
4. Download & Install Steven Young's GP3 Edit.
5. Download & Install SDI Game Utilities' GPxPatch 3.93. You can get this from here SDI Site

A quick thing with GP3 Edit - make sure that whenever you create/edit a carset that you remember to set the current Points System: 25,18,15,12,10,8,6,4,2,1 :)

So how to choose just 11 teams out of the 12 competing in the championship?

Well considering the quality of all the cars made for GP3 at the moment you can't leave any out because they all look so good, so the only way to choose would to be either-
1. Leave out the team you hate most :P
Or 2. Pick the 11 best teams in terms of raw pace - of course until Round 1 we won't truly know who this is.

Another big problem for fans of GP3 is the 16 track limitation, especially this season with 20(19) races in the Championship. So how to choose 16 tracks out of 20(19)?

Now this one is really just down to everybodys personal preferences. Although as India is yet to be completed/made for GP3 that is the first one left out at the moment :P
