Hi guys,
It's sad discussion in this topic paused recently.
The reason I bring it up is twofold.
First of all, I now use the enhanced GPxTrack to swap tracks around instead of the old school overwriting of the original tracks via copy-paste. I use Monaco 1967 as I like it very much - and it's Monaco time in a week anyway - and for some reason cars now sit 90° in the 'pit lane' instead of the Monaco standard 45°. Do you know which parameter of the magic data defines this? (I tried the Special (Monaco) setting in GP4 Builder, but it was not it.)
I tried to resolve the issue on my own, so I sort of rechecked what magic file line is what, and this is what came out:

Based on TomMK's excellent work exclusively. This is just an overview and I'd like if discussions on the values would restart.
As we can see, there are only 23 lines remaining, of which we have no idea, what they are. (The '?????' ones to make it easier to see.)
