It really works?! I'm going to try right now! Thank you very much for this new invention, that's huge!

Thanks Shaddix! Nice to make race by race performances in championship too.

Thanks!

I'm glad you guys like it, but note that it can only be used in 2 ways:

- quickrace
- championship/non-championship race, but only when you skip qualifying

but I thought it might be very useful for quickraces or when GP4 offline leagues wanted to use a reversed grid or something

if you use it and play qualifying with it, you will get very weird laptimes

Thank you Tim.
Very nice tool.

Tested it just with my 2009 csm mod and it works perfectly but for example, i changed the perfomance file for singapore but i use that same file also for suzuka, it works for singapore but when suzuka is loaded it doesn't. So i made a new one called suzuka and it worked there also.

Very good job Tim, best new tool released for gp4 in 2009 !!!

thank you

I think that problem you where talking about might have something to do with you having multiple performance files in your gpxpatch folder, could that be correct?

Yes there are several ones there once csm is loaded. Just have to edit them all to use in csm mod for a specific track to solve it but thats not such a hard job then creating this tool for the community so thank you.

Very interesting tool

Btw, is it possible to 'crack' the multiplayer grid the same way? I remembered when playing with a friend we always go the first row and all the computer controlled cars started behind us...but it would be much cooler if you could set the last positions for players...that would be much better racing.

i doubt that this is posible. player cars seem to be set to the first row independant of the performance file. the perf file only decides which car is on 1 and which one on 2

just updated my perfomance files upto singapore and its very easy to use but so much files its boring but for a csm mod when you select all tracks loaded, the grid is correct for all the tracks were you updated the perfomance file so great tool

like n00binio said, it's unlikely someone is able to crack that part of the game

nice tool

Great tool shaddix ,

If I may ask does this alter the quali perf settings and save a new performance file? or does it do it another way. Just curious


And Netbeans rocks

Ok I'm having trouble with this one. I inputed the info (Drivers grid positions) and all and started a Championship race. and chose to start with out Qualifying, and all the Computer cars are in the right place but My car starts all the way back? Why is this? Did I do somthing wrong?
