GP4 F1 1991 MOD released !

I tried changing the settings in GpXpatchs , but it didn't work I still get the mods default amount of laps in a quick race. I also put 0% possibility of rain, and that doesn't work. If I change the possibility of rain in the game it doesn't save my setting when I quit the game. Witch file should I edit?

[1991] [2003] [2004] [gp2 world series]

OK, I love this mod, however qualifying is pissing me off somewhat. (No, I don't apologise for my language, it really is that annoying! ) Can somebody explain to me why I'm restricted to 6 laps total, basically 2 flying laps with minimal fuel in Saturday qualifying?

Have you changed the settings in the gpxset ini in the mods gpxpatch folder?

Don't have that problem here turkey_machine. Double check your GPxPatch setting and check the number of qualifying laps.

Double-checked. It's set to 12...

Okay, I installed the mod and trackpack and even ran a few races and everything was fine. Now when I go to play it, everything loads and it opens GP4 but it just stays at a black screen and stays there. How do I fix that?

@turkey_machine
Weird one there man! Are you sure you haven't edited your GP4.exe with GP4Tweaker or something?

@Lasek99
Think I had this problem before. Can't really remember. Try re-installing GP4 and see how that goes. Can't hurt and it doesn't take that long either. 15 mins max.

Nope, clean GP4.exe. I was aware of that, and re-installed just in case, but the problem's still there. What I did find, was that GPxPatch says "12 laps" in the qualifying section, in both it's "native" mode, and the "integrated" mode with CSM. Yet, when CSM loads the mod, it switches to 6 laps within GPxPatch. So something's not right there. Have you updated the mod in the last, say, month?

if you have f1gstate.bak, please rename it to f1gstate.save and overwrite your existing one. The blackscreen is a problem for a not correct working f1gstate.sav file

Not sure if it's a bug, or some incorrect settings, but in reality, there were no lap restrictions in 1991, but effectively there were, due to the teams only having 2 sets of tyres, and 99.9% of the time, they were the ultra-sticky one lap specials.
So in a way, your 91 mod is more accurate!

Did that and it worked...until I try to play the 2006 mod, I get a gpx error log at the race loading screen. if anyone can help me out and tell me whats wrong that would be great, because I just spent hours upon hours updating it to 2007 and now it doesn't play.

@Lasek99 - try deleting the f1gstate.sav and f1graphics.cfg from the Data\Files folder in the mod

Ok. It seems it works once, then when I close the game I get a gpx error and thats what corrupts the f1gstate.sav file. I will try that though, thank you.

That'd be nicer if it allowed me to do qualifying laps in Friday practice, which it doesn't.

Any estimate of when we might see an update with bug fixes? The team specific steering wheels and drivers hands look really nice, but its a shame we can't see them in normal cockpit view...

At the moment Drivingitalia, our host, is moving to a new server so we'll have to wait for that. The steering wheels in cockpit view will not be team specific, sorry.

how about the williams bug fix erix? that caused a problem for a few people (me included)

thanks.

Thats a damn shame.... It's a pity as they were so well done.


Seems a waste really....



"There are some pikeys there at Turn 10 putting tarmac down - what do you think of that?" - Martin Brundle

We haven't done them and doing them now will add a lot of extra code and textures to the mod. I'm working on other projects now and with the upcoming release of the fix, this mod is finished.
I think the momo steering wheel looks great, all teams used momo's so it's not that far from reality.
