Yeah, had quite some fun making them, although spended quite a lot of time to get them right, also having to alter them with photoshop since AIs still rarely can do this absolutely right, but what they can do is still actually amazing and mindblowing honestly. With good Photoshop knowledge quite literally EVERYTHING is now possible, and they still are advancing with huge steps every month...

Thank you. I'd prefer my older account to be functional, but Mortal explained that he just banned whole russian @mail domain which is most common for us russians due to some spammer-bot in GP3 section few years ago. So I just tried registeting new one and had no idea if it goes well, and I had no plans on being active cos I've rarely play GP4 for quite some time and had mutliple times of deleting my GP4-related stuff during my own attempts to hook-off from being addicted to the game or hard disc failurer or just plaing lunacy (I delete almost all my stuff during mental breakdowns and I had plenty in 2018-24 sadly). So yeah... Cheers and I'm glad you like those images, I had fun doing them and honestly wish I had more free time maybe to serve as independant Race Director maybe since I have no problems with Tobias anymore and I admit my former accusations were badly-scrapped and came out way too late when his behaviour was obviously clear from any falseness that I tried to accuse him, cos even if I ever really felt something strange in his RD-duties it happened like literally years before I broke my silence and tried to come up with stuff that was happening literally years ago. And I admit that by the point I was doing my idiotic babble against him I saw clear that he was doing nothing suspicious for a long time already, so I have no idea why I tried to pretended like he was still doing something that I silently suspected him doing and somehow I still tried to imply and impose that he is doing bad stuff having no real reason of even starting to come up with it in the first place. So, my apologies to him and it was me very wrong indeed. I still have my own perceptions on his early RDing but again I won't be trying to accuse him of anything because it does not matter at all in the 1st place, and secondly as I've mentioned, my bad-mouthing and ramble against him came long ago after he became clearly unadulterated and non-biased even for me, trying to accuse him as if he still was doing something suspicious, which he was not doing even the slightest at the point of me starting to accuse him. Anyway, I respect Toby no matter what as the part of this community, not only because he done much more value than me with modding the game (while I always modded it for myself privately) or being one of the most helpful and valuable members for running the GPGSL series. And even personally I never had problems with him, I remember John Maverick sometimes briefly stating how he is dissapointed to see Tobias' salty or hot-languaged remarks, on which I always responded to him (to John) that it only makes community feel live and every family have their own angry cousin or grumpy uncle, but people of all temper and characters still feel fine and pleasant to me on some elementary human level. We don't have to be friends, yes. And we can even dislike each others, but I still respect him and have zero bad feeling against him, while even feeling bad that I went into that suddent idiotic crusade against him, which honestly started as some discussion I had with Chris Hinz (aka noobinho), who I also obviously respect.
Sorry to Tobias Kederer for all my former bad behaviour against him, I'm very sorry indeed that I've brought some upleasent feeling and probably some people active around that time felt even more unwilling to participate this series and leave, so sorry to all them too. I was wrong.
@TurboLover (answering)
Yeah, Murray Walker commentary can be done now with some trying to mimic his style and then converting the voice tone to Murray's with so-vits-svc which is avaliable since 2023 or so. I had fun times watching some guy mimicing Murray's expressions as well as James Hunt witty remarks which sounds amusing even w/o him changing voice with programs. His youtube channel called TrevorSports and guy is incredible talent, I'm not lying if I say that I prefer watching his highlights of AI playing against each other in PES2021 (if I'm correct) simulating full EPL 1998/99 season, than watching any modern actual football event. He is just amazing recreating Trevor Brooking, Peter Brackley or anyone elses (I'm just not too much familiar aside from those who commented actual PES 4,5,6 games cos I'm not english). I honestly always prefered to watch John Watson commentary over Murray Walkers for that mid-90s era, but still if we talk about this YouTuber guy he is just amazing... Especially I adore his ability to consciously mumble or chew some words to make it feel as if the real commentator was nervous or too exited, gives very unique feeling of ''liveness'' to it.
So yeah, I always prefer actual person commenting, especially if they give me that Will Buxton wibe (in the good sense) of being modern sounding, but not overly too-stupidly enthusiastic or plain stupid/boring/awkward to listen. That's why I loved Connor Steer commenting few GPGSL races and then James Brickles (who is now a racer here too) commenting our GP4Manager series when we migrated to Discord (btw John Warrington who was running the races themselves doing video coverage for James to comment on since then became quite some figure in Football Manager community releasing several mods for that game, it is just I play Football Manager too sometimes myself and was pleased to note that). Their comments alone make me feel like I'm interested in watching AI racing which is quite an achievement to make GP4 full races to be pleasent to watch and not me wanting to skip to learn full results. I wish I had much more free time to watch every race James Brickles commented for GP4Manager or FF1M project where he started doing voiceovers since like 2011 or so, so naturally he evolved into being almost a professional, or at least sounds very fun to follow while watching AI races he is commenting on, while obviously for him it is still just a fun hobby.
And if I was running a series, which I had privately and was our own fun with me and my elder brother playing with handmade cut-outta-paper cars in childhood and then migrated to GP4 in 2005 when we got PC, I'd be making something like generating AI-drivers portraits for all drivers, logos for the teams, making some introductions using screeshots of staying cars on the starting grid and then generating images with the crew members added to the grid before the start in Banana or FluxContext and generating video clips from those images in Luma, Firefly, VEO, Sora, Kling or VAN or whatever else of engineers looking at monitors or pitcrew members watching their drivers on screen or pre-race activities with team crews around the car, or generating some fun incuts with people on grandstands waving their favourite drivers/teams shirts like it is the case irl, and so on like generate post race activities with winning driver getting out from the car or drivers with their persistent individual-character generated faces on podium or them doing post-race interviews with Chat-GPT narrated lines of frustration or anger or pleasent (again using their modelled personalities) and so on... For me knowing Photoshop well it would not take a lot of time or efforts, but I can't afford any free time now on doing something for myself cos I need money now to get myself out of Russia to live with my future wife, but still... I mean even when we played our last times with brother which was somewhere in 2012, I already figured out that I can save game or pause game and go to windows with alt+win and change camera positions to make multiple angle replays of any racing action I wanted, and since then I've recently found out ways to get manual camera shots, but again even despite my own fun series had very fun and luring-in captivating lore and I was doing some video-only higlights for me and brother (could not do voice comments cos my english was trash back then), but now I have no time on doing some little nerdy fun projects like this. But still it sparkes me up a bit when I think of those times. I had even very fun and well-made handmade driver magazines parodying/copying style of russian version of F1Racing magazine (which in Russia was called just 'Formula 1' and was way much better because they mildly used the british version filling it with lots of historical articles and topics and their own interviews, but in 2004 they've lost license and since then F1Racing was just plain translated and I've learned how terribly written it actually is despite of people like Peter Windsor being their regular writers) and I was drawing being 12-13 years old because I was attending drawing/art school in childhood, so I've was drawing our own fictional teams/drivers/cars based on real F1 with deep and fun lore sometimes parodying it, sometimes making it interesting (cos we had events like people injuring/dying even when we played paper sh*t as teens). This all very fun memory for me and I think it could've been very fun to outsiders to follow that little creative fictional world (although when we migrated to PC on GP4 we also began to add some real drivers like Antonio Pizzionia or Gaston Mazzacane or lots of indycar drivers to our roster ending up with Mika Hakkinen and M.Schumacher battleing for a season leading our two best teams (BMW and International MotorSports or IMS shortly) after Shummi retired from Ferrari in 2007, so yeah... Lot's of cool memories, and too bad later I've been sometimes into heavy mental disorder during which it is quite often for me just to delete all my personal stuff, this is how all these fun magazines with cool illustrations and my own articles went into trashcan along with some of my guitars, other papers, even hand-written books (one of them parodying David Halberstam's Michael Jordan book (cos me and my brother also played lots of old NBA Live on sega and NBA2K later on PC with me winning every season playing point/shooting guard in ranks of Boston Celtics along with Antoine Walker, Shaq, Shareef Abdur-Raheem and some non-factor guard helping me from outside), video coverages, screenshots from GP4 or NBA2K or PES and other games I've played (in 2012-2016 I've been involved in Mount and Blade Warband community (now dead cos people play sequel for that game named Bannerlord) where I was playing very cool mod with lots of incredibly fun people around and improved my english quite a lot) and other memorable stuff now is lost... Quite sad, but whatever
p.s. and btw GPG forums might feel a bit deserted with not many things happening, but I know for the fact that some GP4 manager/AI racing management series have quite the lively community with some of the people discussing real F1 races in 500+ comments fashion, but yeah they're young people using discord, so this forum naturally suffers from younger people having their own communities where they can discuss real racing or handle their GP4 problems (if any) on their own between their circle, but I'm glad this site still remains alive and well.
p.p.s sorry for some long random nostalgia post coming almost of nowhere, rarely have moments like this
And it's just in the core I'm a huge PC/AI sports gaming enthusiast, but now have limited time to adress that except following some memories... I also had quite some idea of making a proper good racing manager / racing team owner game cos lots of them lean into wrong stuff imo, while actual interaction with drivers/sponsors/team stuff negotiations and maintaining their well-being (morale/happiness/satisfaction) and comfort is may more interesting for me with hitting needed goals sometimes even half-randomly - like somehow drivers getting alone together or otherwise being enemies but still pushing themselves to be faster or getting some rich contract simply cos sponsor got fed up with bad treatment from their former team etc etc, based on your manager attributes like in many role-playing games, like 'technical ability', 'oratory', 'charisma', 'optimism', 'motivating', 'business skills' etc etc, so you cannot make a good overall person being great aerodynamic specialist while also being a silver-tongued every-men's friend with excellent looks while motivating everyone and solving every conflict while finding best sponsors and being FIA leader's best friend at the same time... or you can if you wanna cheat... But I would play someting like with Fallout-dialogue (talk about classic first 2 games) options rather than finding best formula of proper game mechanics learning like most valuable drivers stats, tyre saving techniques, upgrading details, earning money etc etc. I would make something more immersive with player being really involved, not playing buttons like 'save fuel' or 'upgrade chassis' but making him hiring needed technicians and guiding them into what he wants (maybe directing their drivers during the race if needed too) with mainly solving non-race problems, doing interviews and interacting with heads of departments (sponsors, catering, tech directors, driver's agents, drivers themselves, FIA (or whatever else cos name FIA is probably copyrated) bosses, various celebrities or possible investors to get them involved, even own family members if needed or various regular life things to emulate something non-racing still taking valuable time like sometimes Toto Wolff damaging himself while falling from bike or food poisoning etc etc etc) with sometimes stuff going wrong to the point when your character can get into depression or even some kind of disorder (music and background images changing to sad, having to spend more time on every task, having to make some task all over again to get unpleasent/awkward/confusing feeling of deja-vu or even some minor game bugs like interacting with personal in disturbed way with them telling you different stories as compared as what you did ingame to represent you losing mind even, lol), or to add some other negative traits like alcoholism, or abusive behaviour if player tends to chose provocative/offending answers too much changing your person and your public image to became disgusting (or being a praised 'cool bad-boy' and 'true punk/rocknroll boss' if your team still winning only to put you down hard when someting goes wrong). These all aspects are much more interesting for me to play possibly in videogame because irl you cannot tell the real way to success, even the modern aerodynamics has lots of white spots and people like Adrian Newey had mistakes like his McLaren MP4-18 and others after that which were too unreliable and costed Kimi Raikkonen lots of points. Sometimes in real life even best teams with best drivers and best bosses struggle, look at Ferrari who had no titles for a long time already and their current awful form, but anyway I'm too bad in programming and making game in pure excel feels too dumb to perform even though I already had quite good attempts of making such game and calculating different situations and conditions, but again I've been into phyosis in early 2024 and deleted that stuff, so now I cannot afford doing it all over again (I had working excel game with lots of stuff, but none of actual racing representation, although now I know the way to make graphs and even simple tracks with dots moving on them, so it even the actual racing management technically done in excel too with my current skills and ahk scripts), and learning proper programming in Godot or other game engines takes even more time, even though core mechanics are already clear in my mind or visuals/sounds can be easily done with my current photoshop/cubase skills + AI. So yeah, I still carry that idea till next year when in summer I possibly can be more free from my current and future more urgent activities.

Thanks for the kind words. My Patreon relating to my Football Manager content has now become my full time job!

Haha, the quote system on this old forums is so broken... probably a good idea is to edit your post and remove my initial post from your reply
Anyway, I personally love 90s and early 00s football because those were times of me growing up and via early FIFA games on sega or other stuff it became like historical books or magazines on this sport I became interested in origins and history of some elder players and learned with whom they've started playing with, and then who were others before them and so on and on, but yeah somehow starting from Crish/Messi era my interest in football started to fade (probably due to fact that I didn't like PES after PES 6 which came out in 2006 for a while)... So yes, I use some of your works and it is nice to see you have been paid for doing useful things while also just having fun starting with this as a hobby. I've been adding lots of new players into CM 01/02 using Luessenhoff database before I met my future wife hoping to finish my goal in like 5 or even 10 years (wanted to have overlook for all the players in database adding some attributes based on their height/weight and other stuff), but when I got into relationship I realized how it was really a waste of time for me personally and just deleted all my work alltogether just to not be affected by any possible will to have myself wasting precious time on something insufficient for me. I also had very good excel calculator from old Championship Manager games to PES 6, but again I've stopped creating my version of database for that game for 1995-96 season from same reasons, but I know how both fun and boring this modding business can be.

Ooh boy, this isn't good for the Tyrant Team, boss.
If this continues, you might have to consult with management about a temporary replacement for driver Aritra Majumdar (who's already on his third warning) before we lose points in this championship.
... Or he might turn up out of the blue after an email or phone call, who knows.

So what will happen regarding Majumdar's seat now that he is booted out for receiving his 3rd warning? We don't have a test driver that can take over the seat so we're at a lost of what to do.
You'll probly has to loan some test driver or find a emergency guest from your irl friends, or maybe I can take a seat (if you want to) if there's no other options left, since my health is stable and I won't disappear with no reason in the middle of season anymore as it was prety often the case in the past. I'm checking on these pages anyways pretty regularely lately.

You'll take the seat, as has been done in other cases already
