Re: 2025 Austin, Texas, USA F1 GP - 17 days ago
Thanks for making such an outstanding update! I am really enjoing using it. The pits area and the massive flags are really accurate. Great job! 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
Re: 2025 - 30 days ago
Hi all I am making good progress with F1 2025 Megapatch and expect to have a beta version to share in the next few weeks. I am still missing a few in-game helmets. Might anyone have the following? - Liam Lawson, the pink and white one - Paul Aron, as I am using him for the 11th Team (an Alpine Jr team) - Jack Doohan, as above - Nico Hulkenberg, mostly white helmet from second half of seasby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Obrigado! Love the way GP3 is still so strong in Brazil. Thanks for helping me to fill in some of those gaps, I look forward to adding that carshape too. Have a great sunday. ELIOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: 2025 - 5 weeks ago
Hi all Having completed F1 1993, my attention is now on working towards completing a Megapatch for F1 2025. This will take me to the end of the year, perhaps beyond. I have a lot of what I need on the graphics side but I am missing quite a few in-game helmets and other items. Does anyone have a fuller carset with the helmets from the latter half of the year? I am missing: Lawson (racing bullby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Re: Grand Prix 3 Purple Tyre Fix [Download] - 6 weeks ago
Hi Plodekk Looks like you are using a version of my F1 1991 megapatch. Are you aware that all megapatched feature drivers legs behind the steering wheel. If you dont have them, might be because the file routing / allocation is wrong, which can easily be fixed. Also looks like you have the wrong cockpit shape and carshape for 1991 which can also be fixed. let me know if you need help. ELIOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: F1 1993 MegaPatch - here it is! - 7 weeks ago
Its been noted that F1 1993, like lots of my megapatches, has a very large jams folder. This is because the patches build on older ones and I dont generally delete the jams because if you are not careful you can delete a jam that you dont think is needed with the tracks chosen, but is because some tracks share jams. Taking this on board here you can download two versions of the jam folder to REPLby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Re: jip files - 2 months ago
Yeah - I am pretty dedicated to continuing making things for GP3 I am deep into making F1 1993 at the moment - Senna in the wet at Donington is reason enough. Alongside I am making F1 2025, so I can fix performances and see Hamilton win in a Ferrari! No chance of seeing this in real-life? On the jips issue, thanks to Dirk and notes from Evandro I have totally got on top of how to fix this wby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Re: jip files - 2 months ago
I just want to update and thank Dirk publicly for helping to sort this problem. He changed the code in the Jarama and Dijon dat files to so that the armco is inserted by a JAM file rather than a JIP file and this has completely fixed the problem. Big thanks Dirk! ELIOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: jip files - 2 months ago
Hi Holemad Thanks for joining in to find a solution. Might you be able to add some more detail to your suggestion? I am not sure what steps I need to take. Do I go to 'Track data (110), then (0) and change some values there? When I try to copy and paste for Zolder (a track with no armco issues) it says 'nothing in clipboard. Help most apprecaited!

Re: jip files - 2 months ago
The only jip I have problems with is Arm64. This is a unique graphic file that constructs the armco for a few tracks like Dijon and Jarama by using 5 images of the armco of increacing size to 'build' the armco as you drive past. Most graphics cards do this seemlessly and smoothy so you dont notice, but mine does not for some reason making it juddery and distracting. I had the same problby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: jip files - 2 months ago
Hi Evandro! Thanks so much for your help. This tool does give me the ability to edit jips which is a great step forward. However, the method I used to fix this issue with jams is not yet working for the jips. I need to experiment with diffent settings and saving orders / methods. Hopefully I will crack it. But thanks for at least giving me some hope. Warmest regards from London! ELIOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: jip files - 2 months ago
Pirx, thanks for trying. I wouldnt bother with jips but for a few old tracks (r.g. jarama and Dijon) jips are used to make armco barriers and I am getting that same jerky barrier effect with my new laptop that I solved by re-sizing that jams. I just need a way to edit jips too to resize the same way. Cheers ELIOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Hi F1_PC If you cant get GPEdit to work but want to have a wide range of seasons to race you can of course download my 31 megapatches with will give you lots of variety of seasons to race. But it wont make up for your ability to do you own editiing. Megapatchs page x31 Cheers! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Hi Plodekk Just to let you know that I am making great progress in making F1 1993. Probably about 70% of the way there. If all goes to plan, you should have it much earlier than Christmas. Thanks for your interest. It has inspired me to make this a priority. There is F1 1991 and 1994 to play in the meantime. Cheers. Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

Re: reverse patch gp3 2000 to original gp3 - 3 months ago
I am so pleased that you are pleased. There are 30 more Megapaches to try. All the ones from 1994 onwards are based within GP3 2000 as that works best for pitcrews with re-fuelling coming in that year. ELIOby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: reverse patch gp3 2000 to original gp3 - 3 months ago
If you use my 1998 Megapatch you will effectively have what you are looking for. The 1998 season (that came with orginal GP3) is fully patched inside GP3 Season 2000 version with all the benefits that brings. You can download here: MEGAPATCHES inc F1 1998by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Re: 2025 - 3 months ago
Fantastic job Shlund! Excellent levels of detail. There are so many new advertisers in 2025 and its great to see them featured. I am working on a megapatch for 2025 and it would be wonderful to include this if you are happy for me to. Its a huge time commitment, but if you are able to make any more 2025 specific tracks, I'd love to see them. Especially Silverstone, as I attended the granby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3

I am so glad as so many of the belini tracks use this tecnique of an armco JAMwith 5 versions of the armco in decending order of size and then work through them as you drive past.
