Thanks René
I completely forgot that this is configurable in the gpxsat.ini, everything all right now.

Yes, you can package all track files together in 1 separate directory now. For next version I'll also try to make it easy to package a trackpack (whole season) together.

Magic data is not separate because it should be part of the track checksum. When I read it from a file I need to include it in the track checksum. I might implement this for next version.

Great work! Thanks a lot

Good point about the driver name in gap items. I've just changed the default length from 4 to 3 and when it's 3 it will show the same 3-letter name as in digital 2010.

Does the above mean that HUD 2013 and Pitboard will be included as standard items (like the Lo2kTheme\Counter) in version 4.11...?? This will indeed be very nice....

Apart from that I must say again that it is a huge and great work you're doing with the GPxPatch..

It seems to me (from screens on page 2) that the circuit map is now properly scaled, instead of stretched to fit a box? Is that right René?

@shlund: No, the HUD 2013 and Pitboard will not be standard items (haven't talked with Samuele about this either).

@Prblanco: Yes, I removed the stretching. It will maintain the aspect ratio now. Well observed

Can you change the drivers point on the trackmap bigger as the other drivers?

Yes, I'm currently thinking about how to draw the cars. The yellow dots from trackmapbuttons.tga are now used for the yellow zones. So the cars will need a new dot. The player's car used to be different, but due to a bug could be covered by the cc cars. I think highlighting the selected car is more appropriate. Perhaps I can also draw the selected driver 3-letter code next to the dot, and perhaps additionally for the player cars too.

Looking forward to the next update

One more thing:
Since version 4.10 I have the problem that CSM often doesn't start correctly. When I press Start, the game starts, but without swapping any files. I noticed that this happens more often when my browser (Firefox) is open at the same time. Funny thing is, when I exit CSM, Firefox now also closes. I have this problem on both my PC and laptop.

This can happen if the window title of another app (in this case FireFox) starts with GPxPatch. For example, the browser window now begins with "GPxPatch 4.11 W.I.P.". CSM tries to see if GPxPatch is still running by looking for a window with a title that starts with GPxPatch. Or at least that's what I assume, as I had the same problem until I first closed the other app.

Yeah, GPxPatch/GP4 doesn't seem to like firefox being open.

GPxPatch/GP4 have no problem with FireFox. CSM has. And not just FireFox, but with any application that has a window title that starts with "GPxPatch".
Changing to another tab in FireFox while using CSM should already help.

Funny thing, thanks for the explanation


One more question: is there a way to set the coordinates of the trackmap so that it always appears in the top right corner, no matter what resolution you use?
