After unsucessfully trying to get GP4 to work as well under Vista as it did with XP, I pretty much gave up on it nearly 3 years ago.
Having switched to Windows 7- 64 bit, it seems to work well & my interest has been rekindled.
I have installed the origional game, pached it, installed the latest GPxPatch & set up my wheel & everything appears fine at the moment. I have made a copy of this working GP4 folder & put a copy of my last used version of GP4 which I had manually updated to the 2005 season with the correct cars, updated tracks & better steering wheel, cockpit & tyres etc. I used this with Tweaker & a couple of other utilities.
Before messing up what I have now got working with Windows 7 I would like some help with a couple of issues:-
1 My pitcrew dissapeared from my 2005 version of the game. I clearly moved or deleted a file in error. How can I get them back?
2 Does Tweaker work OK under Windows 7? I never had problems with it under XP.
3 I always felt the best Tweaker feature was the tweak to get my FF wheel to simulate hitting the kerbs. This made the whole driving experience far more realistic as far as I am concerned. I could not get this feature to work under Vista. From memory it used a .dll file in the system 32 directory. Has anyone got it working in Windows 7, & if so, where does the .dll file go?
4 Do most of the other utilities that worked in XP work with Windows 7? i.e. CSM, Wadupdater, Easywad etc
5 There used to be a full explanation of what all the setting in the grapghics file mean somewhere but I can't find it. Does anyone know where I can find it?
Hope someone out there can help me as I am keen to get everything working to my satisfaction because the modded game looks so much better than the standard one & then I can start to bring my 2005 version up to date.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Regards,
Lee
