Re: Hardware recomendation - 5 weeks ago
..wow! - changing all JAMs including the color black - I would never have the nerve for this kinda action. Maybe it is a driver related issue, maybe use an older one. Maybe WinXP would work? You have DirectX7.1 installed? Good luck!by pirx - Grand Prix 3

DL-sections to find in the top-right corner, marked: ">>Jump to Forum" - maybe you´ll get happy over there (If I remember correctly, GP3 has far more tracks available than GP4) cheerz!by pirx - Grand Prix 3
Re: GP3 Tracks - 3 months ago
Hi Max, you had a look at the trackDL-section here? I came here 2012, sadly Belini was far gone at those days and Scandura left a few years later. Since then people got less and less. If only GP3 onlineracing would be possible..by pirx - Grand Prix 3

Re: Graphics and crash issues using grand prix universe mod - 4 months ago
..yes, UNIVERSEMOD was made for HW-mode only! (read the GP3form.txt in the root-directory!) - It also doesn´t run with any wrappers like DGvoodoo, etc. to serv saddisfying. Buy an old PC with winXP-32bit plus an "AMD Radeon HD6850" capable of DirectX7.1-support or forget it. cheerz!by pirx - Grand Prix 3

Re: gp3/gp3 2000 Linux/wine - 6 months ago
..GP4 is different - all a reason of still existing DirectX9 support down the line on modern videocards (I hope that is still true, as I didn´t test for some years / In my case it runs flawless with NVidia GTX1080Ti). I watched the youtube-vid: very interesting! - Sadly, I have no experience with QEMU KVM, so can´t say anything about it. Sorry, also can´t say much more about SW-mode and Winby pirx - Grand Prix 3
Re: gp3/gp3 2000 Linux/wine - 6 months ago
1. SW-mode runs smooth on every OS. Problem is you miss >90% of all available modded content because this is mainly done for HW-mode. 2. I tried all kind of virtual machines - same effects as with wrappers (slightly different transparency troubles) 3. dgvoodo and other wrappers work, but with some lag. -and you cannot get rid of this.

Re: gp3/gp3 2000 Linux/wine - 6 months ago
I experimented and installed some years ago. It´s all a matter of directx7.1 simulation and you will not find what you´re looking for. Same problems as in windows, most of them ingame-transparency related. It will not solve any grafic-related problem for you, just make things more complicated. But give it a try if you strictly don´t wanna run Windows.by pirx - Grand Prix 3

Re: Thank You and HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH GP3++ - 10 months ago
In my opinion its only possible to modify cornerspeed of AIs for only one specific turn when you edit the track-file itself. Inside every trackfile is a "vector" that represents the racingline of the AI-cars. Here you have to start if you wanna do something like that.. it demands real trackbuilding-skills. GP3-Trackeditor you need.by pirx - Grand Prix 3

(..hmm, 10 years ago I worked with the tool) -you checked windows-compatibility of the jameditor-exe-file? Here it runs set to WINXP-SP2 compatibility / Visual Designs deselected / and I run it with admin-rights. Sometimes a new Download of some software is always worth a try.by pirx - Grand Prix 3

Re: Cockpit shapes - 11 months ago
..wasn´t there a cockpiteditor? (GP3CE). When I remember correctly the cockpit is stored in a seperate file. (but I never got this beast modded. Although Belini did it in his years, I never could redo it, tried many hours..)by pirx - Grand Prix 3

Re: gp3 similar tool such as slot and tyre editor in gp2 - 1 year ago
..it depends what gp3-version you are using. GP3 or GP3-2000. The 2000 is a kind of an expansion pack, sure you know. When I remember correctly in GP3 there are 2 editors to change opponents performance easily, you´ll find them in my zip. In GP3-2000 the only possibility to change that is via "Belini-Grip-patcher". In my files look for "belini_player_grip.exe" and copy it toby pirx - Grand Prix 3

Re: GP3 Controller issue (can’t play !) - 1 year ago
@triggering: If you use DirectInput the LT and RT (Left Top/Right Top-Trigger) are just "switches" between "on" and "off". If you use XInput LT & RT generate values from 0-whatever, so you can attach throttle or brake here. As I said before, I had many PCs since the Nineties, and every controller worked correctly, never had any problem from Win95-Win11.by pirx - Grand Prix 3
Re: GP3 Controller issue (can’t play !) - 1 year ago
..maybe you need to install DirectPlay. Its an old windows-module to support DirectInput.. I´m not sure Here I own a Logitech F710 gamepad. Great for GP3 and everything else. It can even switch between Xbox and DirectInput. Big recommendation!by pirx - Grand Prix 3
