Complete newbies guide to updating Gp4?

Hello guys,

just wondered, is there a thread somewhere on the forum that has a complete guide on getting GP4 updated to 2004 Season? I am a bit of a newbie and I am not sure what software is best for what and what I should be getting and where

Any advice would be much appreciated please, i tried searching but there are SO many threads...

I would also really like to know the best settings to have in the graphics part of the options screen and also a recommended f1graphics.cfg file

I have the following setup:

Intel Pentium 4 3ghz
1gb of RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb DDR

the easy way to update to 04 season would be to wait a few weeks till the update on gp Italia is ready says about 60% done so far. then just install the lot.

I have just been going through the hoops as well, I had it installed last year and it was great with the help of this forum and lots of reading various posts.

Then I got a new pc in April and lost the old gp4 directory, as I formated the wrong drive, the one with GP4 on.

So I have had to try and relearn how to get upto speed on installs and the like.

I find it very frustrating as I'm on my 5th install and I'm still not happy with it.

A sticky thread at least would be nice for us NOObs!

If the GP4 community wants to attract new members to it's fold then a howto guide would surely be a must have.

I was attracted by the screenshot of Monoco posted the other day at M4driving and thought how great GP4 looked.

That was 2 days ago and I still don't have GP4 anywhere near perfect. So much so that I went back to F1C yesterday and had an hour on that.

But GP4 somehow called me back to try again, I don't know what it is about this sim but it sure is addictive and very immersive.

So as a complete noob.

Here is what you should do first. (please feel free to correct me and join in)

Install GP4

Patch gp4 to GP4_patch v9.6

Apply the Nocd for that version.

Apply inst-gpxpatch380.exe

Then this is where I run out of Knowledge.

There are numerous tools that seem to be needed, that have been created by the community.

GPXpatch being one.

once you have got what murkz says get

cameditor by lo2k to edit camreas and helmet positions etc
wadupdater which i use to put cars into the game just put the new files you have in afolder and use wadupdater to update the game
ask if need more help

@ Murkz - Is this what you mean by a sticky for new users? [www.grandprixgames.org]

that is useful but I need more assistance than that

=====================================
hmmmmmmm.....Scarlett Johansson......

Ok I have just found the FAQ thread at the top of the forum contains links to more info.

I did not notice when I first read the FAQ thread. I'm off to do some reading.
