I've never installed a mod for GP4 and couldnt either manage to get 2013 Mod v5 working correctly or to find a guide for this mod.
This is my installation routine:
GP4 fresh install
Patch 9.6
decrypted 1.02
GPX Patch
Zaz Tools
2013 Mod v5 (located in C:\games\Grand Prix 4\GPSAVES\Carsets\2013 Mod v5.0 by GP4 Central)
These are the problems which I am encountering:
-) Only 17 tracks are available and the track names dont match with the track characteristics, eg. Yas Marina is Monza, actually all "new tracks" are old tracks which exists since the original GP4
-) I cant handle black flags, sometimes my car gets slowly for no reason (not cutting the track) and it wont be able to accelerate again, even if one minute went by. Also ticking drive through penalty couldn't trigger it in game, even if provoking black flags on known areas like in Monza at the very first corner
-) if I am using visors, how can I clean them or strip the dirty visor off like the drivers do in reality?
-) is there any sound update available to simulate the V8 engines? The gpx Patch 3d and pseudo 3d sounds dont seem changed, I cant notice any difference.
-) After some changes in zaz tools, I was unintentionally able to repeatedly make a jump start many seconds ahead without any penalties! Where's the settings for this?
Also I have no clue about what a Gp4 tweaker is, therefore I need to know what "real time editing" does or better, you give me an useful link where the basics of tweaking and csm are explained.
-) What's a defpanel?
-) Slipstream effect doesn't seem to work at all?!
This mod and zaz tools are a really nice benefit for GP4 fans but they lack detailled explanations about how they work.
All help is appreciated!
