"The 2006 Mod" by GP4Italia and Tony

Posted this over at GrandprixX.com, no reply yet so hopefully someone here can help!

First of all, thanks to those who put together the trackpack, it looks really good. This is my first foray into modding GP4, so apologies if these are really newbie problems.

First of all, I'm certain I've installed it all properly as it all works fine (on a quick turn around Sepang and Silverstone, anyway). However, the dashboard text is misaligned with the actual dash (it's some way above it). Can anyone point me as to where I can adjust where the text is displayed?

The other minor issue is that there is no racing line for the first track, Sepang, even if I turn it off then on again. My friends and I play GP4 at a fairly low level (it's more of a game than a simulation to us!), so is there something I can do to turn it on, or is it just not part of the track?

Thanks!

Can you post a picture of the text? The new steering wheels usually have no place for the game text, so its been removed probably.
Sepang, or Sakhir? Sepang should have the best-line feature, but most new tracks don't. The only option is to get better

i did a "youtube walk around' and i found this

[&mode=related&search=]

[&mode=related&search=]

..of course i dont know if this mod is a gpx ( or gp4db) project

@dada, I think the reason for these problems is the track, because I use the 2007 Spanish track too and have the same problems, but I don't have these problems when I drive on other tracks.

I want to update the performance and physics files. So I downloaded the 2007 perf-physics file by Mariano Di Carlo from GP4World. The readme.txt says that I have to load the generic perf.txt file in GpxPatch -> GPxSet tab, but then I see the forms of the physics and performance file are locked, so I can't update the physics and performances. How can I unlock these forms? Thanks in advance .

I downloaded 3D threads and 2D rims package from GP4db.com and installed it to this 2006 mod. Then went to the game and got this: [img440.imageshack.us]. I think it has something to do with f1graphics.cfg but I don't know which lines to change...

Hello [FIN]Räkä, I have this problem too, but I actually have no idea what's the reason for it. I only know that I get this view when I press V, and I go back to the normal T-Cam view with Q.

But the problem annoys me because I always use V because it's also to key to go through the pages of the TV overlays. So, hopefully there's a solution for it. Thanks in advance.

Can please someone tell me how can I get rid of bump map on track? I ve switched it of in f1graphics.cfg file but its still in game. Im using this mod, 2007 season.

Try from game options. Or make sure that f1graphics.cfg controls all settings, change first line of the file from 0 to 1.

Offtopic: I can't agree with your sig, I think Räikkönen and Senna are the unluckiest drivers ever. Senna at Imola 1994 and Räikkönen in the 2005 season.

Thanks for the response, b-tone. Sorry, haven't had a chance to fire up GP4 for a while due to holidays and stuff, so no screenshot to explain I'm afraid, but I can say that I was using the original steering wheels from the game, as I want (initially at least) the game to look the same as it does 'normally'.

The track name was from memory, apologies if I guessed the wrong one starting with S! It's the first track of the season, anyway. Thanks for the explanation about the racing line, as you say we'll just have to learn to live without it for the new tracks!

Downloads are not working.

Hey guys just wondering. I downloaded the 06-07 mod. It runs,but i suddenly get a processor occupancy of over 900 (!)with the same settings which i get a po of no more than 100 with the original game settings. Even when i put all the settings to its absolute minimum,i still get no lower than 300 po! And then i put the resolution down to 640X480 from my usual 1024X768. And i have all updated versions of everything. Please help!!! i havent modified my f1graphics.cfg at all,i dont want to muck around with it.but if theres something i can edit in there please tell me! thanks guys,and once again this is the best site on the web to me...

When I had this problem...not 900 but I had 200 or 300 I put the photograms (I don´t know if that´s the word in english) at 15 for second (is in the avanced graphic in the GP4 not in the GP4 X) That is what I did and it worked I´m not an expert at all maybe there is a better way, I run all the mods at 15 and everything is fine.

Please help! what do you mean photograms? i think you mean fps. But i have put it on 10 fps just to get it on 200 po. But on less than 10 fps it looks like a strobelight or something! i just cant understand why it can jump from under 100 po to 900 po just by changing the cars!? why!? HELLLLLLP! And these downloadable f1graphics.cfg files by other users, whose would you recomend?

Sorry that didn´t work, yes I was meaning about what you wrote.

Any new pc or laptop can run the game without been updated. The problem is when you want to insert a mod. Why doesnt it work? because original game
car shapes and textures are not demanding but mods have cars shapes with
a lot more polys than the original game, the textures of the cars has
also increased significantly.

Also the Grafic card shares the main RAM, so that would mean you'd have to compromise between the display and the performance of the application.

Onboard video cards are not good for Gp4.

Edit: Many laptops are very very bad for gaming.

Thanks guys. But any help to improve my situation, instead of pointing out the obvious, would be really appreciated. Thanks.

of that laptop ...
