Pitboards

Although I have the gpxcinfo.ini set to show the pitboards
(Enable4=1
Path4=K:\Grand Prix 4\gpxdata\Pitboards 1994\pitbord_ETCC72.ini)
they don't show up in the game.
So everytime I have to delete this line in the GPxPatch and load it again - quite boring
So what could possibly be the reason for that unwanted behaviour?

Should the path not be "gpxdata\Pitboards 1994\pitbord_ETCC72.ini"?

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

does the 'pitboards 1994' folder not go in the 'pnl' folder?

If you open GPxPatch and go to GPxCInfo and then you open the folder symbol below you can select the wanted pitbord.ini-file wherever it may be stored.
The result will always be 'K:\Grand Prix 4\gpxdata\whatever...'
So the problem is simple the lack of pitboards in the game automatically triggered by the pitbord.ini-file.
On the other hand it works if you put the file into GPxPatch manually although it's already there...
It's like unlocking a door though it's already unlocked
Any ideas what's the problem???

kev is right, the folder with the pitboards needs to be stored in the pnl folder. Do you have the pitboard.ini in your pitboard folder aswell, or is it stored on another place?

And pitboards have some configs too, like:

"start at lap..." (then it show up only at second lap, for example)
"Range" (and it show up only at certain range to start/finish line).

Better to take a mod with enabled and working pitboard to see how it works.
