is it me...?

i just made a complete new install of my pc, and that gave me the opportunity to play gp4 as it is. the naked gp4 original installation. its real challenging, very good ki and really good physics. now i installed csm and 2006/2007 season mod.
i have to say, the physics in that mod are crap. compared to the original gp4 physics. dont wanna go deeper into details, but its not good imo. no, its not not good, its bad. just tried to change the physics into the original ones, but dont know how. theres a file in the "patch" folder... nics physics or something. but in gpxpatch set is another file which i cant find enabled.

how can i use original physics and perfomance in csm mod?

thanks alot

go to the mod folder, data, gpx patch and open gpxset.ini there is a line (i forgot how it´s called) that enables custom physics files. put there a 0. do the same in the 2007 subfolder. should do the trick...

The physics file is in Data\Patch mod folder (nic_GP4_2006.g3p). You can erase it or put another.

when i erase this file, the physics are not the same as in original game. fe. it seems, the car goes only to 290 km/h as highspeed...?!?

I've always only ever installed cars etc manually (eye candy) but have always maintained the original GP4 physics etc as I still to this day believe it's the best around. This way I have cool looking cars, pitlanes, even tracks (in some instances) I have cool menus and music etc but ultimately have the bog standard GP4 "gameplay" but looking a million time better and as per the latest seasons.

This, imho, is the holy grail for Gp4.

Thanks stifflers mum for showing that I'm not the only one that thinks GP4 is cool as it is. Let's face it, if it wasn't - this very community wouldn't exist.

Is that ambiguous?

go into the performance folder located in modname/data and edit the files in it. use a texteditor or load them into teameditor or something similar. i think original gp4 has around 850 - 900 bhp. if you use team editor you can click on standart values to see it. add e.g. 100 bhp for every team and test it. you should add the same amount for every team - otherwise the performances will get mixed up. (don´t forget backups!!!)

for everyone whos interested:

managed to get the good old physics back. in my case 2007 mod/season.

step 1: go to Grand Prix 4\GPSAVES\Carsets\2006\Data\GpxPatch\2007 and open gpxset.ini

step 2: change

[PerfManager]
Enable=1 to 0

and

[PhysicsManager]
Enable=1 to 0

cheers
