Definately not a new topic...I need help. Somehow I have managed to stuff my cars.wad file up by trying to install hi-res helmets. My main problem is no matter what I do and God knows i've tried everything I can think of(many times) is Takuma Sato is in a Jag(Webbers to be precise) instead of a BAR. No problems with Button. When I view SAto from another car I see the BAR(changes to the jag at times tho) but when I view from his car it's the bloody Jag. Any ideas to fix this very frustrating problem welcomed..

Believe it or not SpaceAce i have done that many times. I have installed a fresh copy of GP4 just to use the new cars.wad. Still I have the same problem. I've deleted the lod files and added them. I've deleted tex files and added them. it doesn't matter what I do Sato is still showing in the jag. I downloaded different versions of the BAR but still the problem persists but only with Sato...weird.

Just swapped teams with TeamEditor ie swapped jag with BAR and now see two BAR and Two jags as it should be, so maybe have to live with jag in #5 slot and BAR in #9 slot and just change driver names...

i'd suggest geting rid of the lower lods, as your pc seems capable, and then you'll have no shape chnaging at distance, and you'll have a smaller wad.

then delete all your bar and jag files.

i hope you use easy wad. its easy. and for wads.

so if you havent changed any team order (ie using 2001 order but with 2004 order eh?)
so slot 5 is.,.fv fdeesvw wr


um. i didnt really read what you typed so..

but you should get csm and make a 2004 set as it gets rid of lots of these problems.

Thanks for the input b-tone. I had to reinstall and start upgrading GP4 again from scratch as this was a quicker solution than trying to "fix" it. Not game to upgrade helmets yet as this is where problem started! No standard for helmet shape yet. When upgrading cars to 2004 weird things happend...Upgraded jordan,bar,jag,mclaren,ferrari then sauber testing by starting game each upgrade but when i upgraded sauber ALL the previous installed cars reverted back to originals....so had to install them again..finally all ok after many hours "fixing" and backing up changes just in case.
