Better idea for replacing Arrows

Alot of ppl seem to be putting in fantasy teams, or SC which dont work etc

why dont you just make 3 renualt cars and 3 minardis and run them as the third drivers that the teams run on friday morning? Make them slow enough to not interfear with the race, and there you go, problem solved

Better than racing a SC IMO

Quite interesting......



To finish first, first you have to finish

and what about if the skin doesnt work in those shapes?

and what about if the skin doesnt work in those shapes?

you will be running the renault shape

Make a copy of one of the renault shapes, and rename it arrows.

it will still pick up the renault textures.

Rename the first arrows driver to mcnish, and load in his helmet, change the position in nessecary

Copy a minardi car shape, rename it to arrows, but the second car, load in the drivers helmet and rename the driver.

Have the arrows name replaced with something like "3rd drivers"

but there is no way to put a Minardi paiting and a Renault painting on the same team, right????

well, I don´t get it....

yes, u can

Have the shapes point to different liveries

GP4 allows 22 differen shapes, and therefore 22 different liveries (how do u think they had mika and david on the default cars?)

If u have a renault shape, it can pick up the renault textures. If u have a mianrdi shape, it can pick up the mianrdi textures.

no problems at all. Make a back-up for your GP4 and try it and if you do it correctly it will work

oh right.... now I see it.... havent realised that Mika/David thing, I´m used to GP3!!!!

thx Ellis....

np, GP3 u r correct about, it only had one set, in GP4 we can specify what textures the car picks up.

If anyone attempts this, keep back-ups

basically if you want to have three minardis then just pick one of them and rename them to arrows team car 1 or 2. ok. and then all the tex files of that particular car also. thats it
race with three minardis.

Id rather have a fantasy car to drive, and have 2003 drivers compete and
me competing with them.

makes me feel "MORE" in the game i suppose driving my own livery against
other teams.

fair enough, its jsut sum ppl were replacing arrows with fantasy teams and weren going to drive them, and having a SC that dosnt work in there is a strange idea

If you don't want them just make the arrows team blow up so they are out of the race and 2 slow to make a differnce in qualifying!!

Easy.........

yes but we've been there and discussed that many times!

you can't guarantee they will blow up at the start with unreliable cars. it doesn't work. the only way i can think of removing them at the beginning of races is to somehow make them have 0 fuel, so they retire at the start of the race. any ideas how to do this?



To be a legend, first you have to learn to drive

if i went to a gp expecting to see 20 cars, and there was 22 i'd be pleased.
but if the extra 2 blew up on the grid, or went round doing 15 miles an hour i'd be a little perplexed.
adding 2 cars with your own livery and your name is good.

(and yes, this has been discussed a bit)

Hey Korn...You got the concept!!!! I agree 100%

Why is it in gp4 that the arrows and Prost cars always are the hardest to lap, i have problems with them in every race.

cos altho they are slow they are not the slowest so can keep that little bit ahead
