Yeah well when you haven't retired yet then you could introduce some new displays and maybe some other possibilities for GPxPatch and to create a final version 4.5 (or even 5) if you want to. That would be great.

Calm down please.

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Just a question: Is it already possible to have two different tyre producer logos inside the same team at the ingame displays? And another thing, I don't want to press 'N' the whole time for the displays to appear, I want to have them be there all the time at least when I change the camera. Where can I change this? Please tell me guys, thanks!

It's possible but only if you specify the brands in gpxsat.ini. See documentation.

As for the names, check if DisableRidingWithOnCameraChange is 0 in gpxsat.ini. Only applicable for digital and digital2004 though.

Sorry for writing in this old thread, but I just reinstalled GP4 on my new computer and had a performance but regarding the topspeed-performance of me (player) and ccCars.

In short:
I was always much faster (e.g. Sakhir) or - track depending - much slower (e.g. Monza) on the straights than the ai cars. I use the magic data (ai power factor ace & ai grip factor ace) to produce equal performances for player and ai cars. I think this is still the best method for this task. But with the magic data it was not possible to close this gap, whatever the settings in GPXset (old behavior, power and grip, etc.) or cmagic data were.

To prevent other players from getting as desperate as I was in the last days I can tell you that this is surely a problem only appearing with GPxPatch version 4.44. User 'Tamburello' mentioned it earlier in this thread but it got a little bit lost in the shuffle of the whole discussion, so I only found it after googleling for several hours. So like Tamburello did, I switched back to GPxPatch v4.43 as well.

Rene', is it possible to add a "rolling" line across the top of the screen showing each driver's position and the e.t. behind the leader?

I don't have much time, but you can add it to the issue tracker.

from the gpxpatch changelog (latest version):

Quote
GPxSet: Excluded magic data from "Player car performance team dependent" option. This means magic data will never affect the player's car.

no wonder your method won't work with 4.44

Hi all,

I'm planning to upgrade my current outdated version of GPxPatch and I was wondering what the performance files should look like if there is car-dependent engine power and failure rates.
Could someone please show me the basic outline of such a performance file?

Here you go:

So, in this example, the base McLaren Honda failure rate is 1300. (Their entry is highlighted in blue)
Then, in the red highlighted section, I have increased Webber's rate to 1800, and left Button's at 1300.

The base Jaguar Ford Qualifying and Race power is, in this example, 970 & 925 respectivly. (Their entry is highlighted in orange)
Then, in the green highlighted section, I have increased Vandoorne's qualifying power to 975, and left Grosjean's at 970.
Then, in the purple highlighted section, I have left Vandoorne's race power at 925, and increased Grosjean's to 930.

My dream: if someone finds a way to put more cars and more tyre suppliers for GP3-2000!!!

Fantastic work again, Rene!!!
