Re: MegaPatches x34 - Updated and all in one place (ref. 2026) - 3 months ago
If you have previously downloaded these MegaPatches, you might want to download them all again as I have made a number of improvements over the past 5 years and only now uploaded the updated versions. Improvements include better cockpits and steering wheels, helmets of the grid menus and multiple carsets and performance files. There are also some changes to track JAMs to make them more accurate.by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: REPLAY NEEDED FOR GP3 - 4 months ago
Hi Andy All my megapaches for seasons 1969 to 1993 have gp3video allowing you to rewind and play full length of race. GP3.exe is already decrypted for all of them. My patches 1994 to 2025 use gp3 season 2000 so are limited to short replays only Hope that is useful. ELIOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Re: F1 2001 - performance files needed - 4 months ago
Yes - the performances work in GP3 season 2000 just fine, and are realisitic. Only hastle was that I had to go into every race file and manually add in capital letters so that we have Michael Schumacher - Ferrari, rather than michael schumacher - ferrari. That was a pretentious styling in Grand Prix 4. Big thanks!by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

F1 2001 - performance files needed - 5 months ago
Hi all I am making good progress with my F1 2001 MegaPatch. I have the race by race performace files by EMAC/RalphH. Trouble is that for several races the values are all wrong and the grid order is upsidedown / mixed up. Does anyone have correct performace files? I'd be interested in other season's performance files as they are otherwise time consuming to make. Thanks in advance.by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi res helmets problem - a mystery - 5 months ago
Hi all I am installing the high res helmets for 2001 and 2002 and using EMAC's installation (Ralph Hummerich). I want to make some changes to the carset files (e.g. car1) to pick up my edited version of the helmet files. But unless I use the same name he orginally used there is a failure to size the hi res helmet at the full size. Instead it takes a small section of the helmet file andby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Res helmets - 5 months ago
Hi there! Does anyone have high resolution in game helmets for 2001 ? I am making a megapatch for 2001 and it would be a great addition. Any other hi-res helmets for the 1990s / early 2000s would be great to have. Thnaks, Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: 2026 - 6 months ago
Hi all Sorry to disappoint, but I wont be making anything for F1 2026. Having spent a lot of time in the last 6 months making things for F1 2025 I want to move back into making mods for classic seasons. I am currently working on F1 1971 and will be moving on to 2001 or 1997 after that. Good luck! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Re: F1 2025 Megapatch - on the way - 6 months ago
After 6 months of working, here is the megapatch for the most recent installment of Formula One - the 2025 season! Thanks to the content makers that I have assembled this from, espcially the track makers. Menus and cockpit graphics are my own and improvments to many other graphics files. I hope you enjoy racing it as much as I did making it. Download HERE: F1 MegaPatch 2025 by ELIO - DOWNLOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

I know it takes a huge amount of time to do but any additional tracks for 2025 you are able to do will be MASSIVELY appreciated. Cheers! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
