I have the feeling that the patch has no effect at startup. For example, I select the Australia map, but it's not applied. Driver data, as I mentioned, isn't applied either. Something's wrong here, and I just don't know what. I've done everything according to the instructions. But the fact that I don't even have any driver data, only the original settings, seems strange to me.

I only have one file in gpxcinof, is that correct? Just the counter.ini file.

You will get a better picture of GpxPatch if you untick quickstart and load the mod.
Or, you can check if the files are there in the mod files.

Make sure you install CSM mod files in order too.

Thank you very much. Quickstart was indeed the problem with the original data. Now it opens gpxpatch separately, and I have the original data and other files included in the info.

However, the fuel issue persists. Images are attached. All drivers have 60 fuel, even though I've set it differently for myself, and the AI ​​drivers should also have different fuel levels, not be able to complete the entire race. Which files exactly do I need to look at, with which program, and what do I need to change so that they pit with different fuel levels?

I'm also still getting the error that, for example, Hülkenberg is listed, but Albon is supposed to be the same driver. See the image, bottom left.

Now another problem has arisen that I didn't have before: there are no pit crews anymore.

Thanks for the quick replies.

With regards to fuel - that is not a bug - it's intentional because there is no refuelling in F1 since 2010.

Is the name panel just in qualifying/practice?

With the pitcrews, delete you f1gstate.sav in the main GP4 directory - I think that's the fix - it's in the FAQ

Where do I uncheck the fast startup option in gpxpath?

¿Dónde desmarco la opción de inicio rápido en gpxpath?

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, the name field is only displayed during training/qualifying.

Even after deleting the file f1gstate.sav, I'm still missing the Pit Crew.

Even after deleting the file f1gstate.sav, I'm still missing the Pit Crew.

I have fixed the graphics by MailsonTeles that are in the wrong order in the 2025 mod.

Please redownload update v1.2 and install to fix. [fongugp4.blogspot.com]

Very nice, Kev! How is it going overall and do you have any plans or schedule for the future releases? Or the little teasers for the future projects you're involved into maybe? Hope everything is going nice for ya, bud
