I thought I should update those that replied to this thread. I didn't update people on this problem as I've been very busy but I was able to recover my files using a very powerful program called TestDisk. Here is a YouTube video that explains how it works - . It took me a few days but I recovered EVERYTHING using this program. Should have seen my face as I watched all those filesby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
How do I stop the game running in stretched widescreen?by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Hello, My HDD with a decades worth of GP3 stuff on it has died. I did have a backup once (Multiple in fact) but for the life of my I can't find it. I'm in mourning as I've lost all my custom stuff that I can never hope to get back (though I will try data recovery). Can I call upon the community to help me in my time of need? I need tracks, carsets, carshapes, helmets. Juby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Even when I have the exact same setup as the AI I still find myself understeering through most corners. And even if I attempt to rectify this issue in changing my setup, it means I lose time on the straights to the AI as they have better top speeds.by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
I noticed earlier that the Break Balance is displayed on AI cars (not sure what program is making it appear). I was wondering if there is a way to get the game to display the gear ratios, wing angles etc of AI Cars as well? I'm really bad at setting up my cars so if i could see the optimized setup it would be a HUGE helpby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
I really suck at Setting up cars in this game. Has anyone got a giant folder of setup files they would be willing to share? It'd be great to always have the right gear ratio for each circuit, the right wing balance etcby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Are there Carsets for all these GPGSL championships?by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Hi, So I've been using this really great livery in my Championship for awhile (apologies to the Author but I don't remember the name) I always enjoyed how the grey side looked so after a few amateurish hours in Photoshop I've converted the entire car into grey. I'm pleased with the results. It's not perfect but will certainly do for me and I thought I wouby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
I had this problem for a really long time and had almost given up trying to fix it but this install of the game fixed the issue for me . This install is in italian by default but editing the f1system notepad and changing language to English (or whatever language is preferable) fixes this. I'm not sure what is in this particular install that makes it work but it works perfectly for me.by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
I've been struggling to find a good sounding engine package for the game. I would personally love anything that represents the sound between the late 90's and the mid 2000's. Something that sounds like a jet engine but also not too tinny and whiny. If anyone has a nice setup on GPxPatch could you screenshot it so I can copy it?by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Hey everyone. I've been using the same ad sheets for a very long time (the set that has the engines, tobacco, tyres etc split up) as well as photoshopping ads from one car to another. I was just wondering if anyone has any more modern or just different to the common ad sheets?by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
intel i5 AMD Radeon 6570 8gb Ram win 7 64bit The worst part is just how random this is, which makes sorting out the problem a nightmare. 1 out of every 10 loads the game will run a custom track no problem at all. Then in the same load on another track it will run terribly. Sometimes even the vanilla tracks will randomly have crazy PO. The fact this thing is so random is driving me crazy, Iby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Okay so I FINALLY got Grand Prix 3 working in Windows 7. I can play with custom carshapes and GPEdit, GPXpatch the works. BUT for some reason any and all custom tracks send the PO back up to insane levels like 300%-800%. Only custom tracks are doing this and it's driving me crazy. After getting the base game to work I can't believe I've run into the same problem but only for thby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Thanks Also what other sites? I only know of this on for GP3 stuff these daysby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3

i know about the 'M' one i should have been clearer but the one I'm looking for the one that shows 6-8 cars around you and their 3 sector times and lap times. I used it alot. It uses the same look to the '1' key for the GPx Menu that gives you time left, track map etc. : ) thanks for any helpby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Hi, I've returned to GP3 after a year away (windows 7 computer didn't want to run the game, but now i have a second PC running Xp that does run it) and i have everything running except I'm missing laptimes and sector times in the top left corner.I can't remember how or where i got them from? I'm thinking GPXPatch but I'm not too sure really. Any help would be muchby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3

Okay i'm having a bit of a tough time. I have updated my computer for the first time in about 10 years. I was hopeful i wouldnt have problems with GP3 since alot of users here do seem to have it working. Im running windows 7 64bit. Currently i cant even get the game to run , all i get is a black screen. I tried Decrypting the game but that fails. GP3edit (very important for me) doesntby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
I was wondering if Rob might be open to making a youtube video of him making a really really basic track to help those of us stumbling with the tutorial? A simple Fraps recording of the process would be a great help. As i personally really have struggled with it and i think seeing someone make one on the program might get through those issues i've had. Would be really cool. Thankby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Hi, In light of Lotus' Dark Knight Sponsored Car this weekend i was wondering if anyone ever made the Star Wars Red Bull from a few years back for GP3?by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Awesome! i'll go download. btw Patagonia Update downloads as the Ring Update i found out yesterdayby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
OMG AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
Quick fix is to just fill the Pink Parts in Black in Paint. Proper Fix is something i haven't found out and would also like to know.by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3

How do i Stop Grand Prix 3 Stretching on Widescreen a Monitor? The resolution in game is as it should be but im not getting black bars on either side and instead the game is being stretched to widescreen. How do i keep the game at its orignal aspect ratio?by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3

Another Epic Creation, Roberto you spoil us. Awesome Track!by pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
How do i edit the amount of laps a track has? I ask because Espoo Raceway for Grand Prix 3 (not 2000) maxes out at just 8 Laps for 100% distanceby pironi14 - Grand Prix 3
