Yes i have a printer (epson) No belkin software and no idea on hyper threading! Re direct x have just installed dx9 again (i think it did anyway !) Surely i cant patch it until its actually installed? Yea definately dx9- no problems with it apparently, and have latest drivers for geforce card alsoby reddwarf - Grand Prix 4
Ok just got this game (normally play Gp3 - no problems there) I get as far as the installation screen then XP task manager pops up and tells me to install or configure components and i cant get any further. Configure what exactly? I am running a Nvidia gfx card(6200 model)/2gb of ram with a intel 2.8ghz processor. As im on XP(directx8.1 fitted as standard) it cant be a direct x issue surely?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 4
Anybody recommend a decent console style controller that is good value? I dont have space/cash for a decent wheel and tbh prefer a controller anyway. I use a cheapo from pc world at moment but it doesnt have analog triggers (bit like PS2) which i prefer to have (like the xbox for instance).Also a bitch to set up! Alternatively is there a way to make xbox controllers work on pc's?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Thanks for all your help but unfortunately due to an act of immense stupidity, i cant tell u if it works cos i cannot play game at moment due to accidentally wiping most of my gp3 folder out! My venerable game disc has finally given up ghost( it really didnt want to install last time!) so am scouring ebay for a new one!by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
will try that- does the carset/camera/circuit have any bearing on this?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
well it may do but i cannot even get GPx default patch to actually appear on my screen whilst playing- dunno what i have not enabled to be honest- have read the helpfiles and it should be on but isnt!by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
i thought mr scandura's site was for gp4 only? Do all of these tweaks work on gp3 as well?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Ah, just found i been real dumb n not using gpx patch to fullest potential!! Mebbe someone cud direct me to some disply panels?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
just had a look at screenshot thread, where can i get the tv style race graphics n stuff used in the majority of the shots?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
yeah i havedone that - ended up with 2008 cars with 1969 performances and handling! interesting at 1st corner lol. think i will stick with loadin em in separately. On subject of Physics, any ideas what a realistic slip angle for current cars would be? or should it be more for newer cars or less? I was trying to replicate the drifting handling of older f1 cars but dont quite understand the techby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Ok this may have been covered before, but is it possible to have multi games saves ie from different years, and have the carset etc auto load when u select to play that game without having to apply all the patches via the various editors?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Yeah i heard red nwhite too, anyway arent we going to run into a problem with the no of teams-game doesnt support this many does it?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Surely alonso is gonna want to be in a car which at least has half a chance of winning? If so i think what he is referring to as "what he would like to do but doesnt know if it is possible" imo is ferrari placing massa with one of its customer teams, seeing as they aint gonna part with raikkonen for obvious reasons OR BMW ditching one of their drivers which again is going to be expensiby reddwarf - F1
I'm not a particular schumi fan but you cant argue with 7 world titles, the guy can only beat whats put in front of him and you still need the mental toughness to close out the title race. Look at how hamilton blew it fighting alonso unneccessarily at brazil, i doubt schuey would have got involved with that. That said some of his tactics were a bit questionable!! There again so were senna aby reddwarf - F1
Also known as diffuser!! Surely some thought as to the shape of this not just the height, should be included. Overall good to see that they are at least thinking about shifting the emphasis back towards mechanical grip not just aero. We need to see more potential for overtaking and maybe hamilton-esque charges might become more common which would make great viewing, might even help shift emphasisby reddwarf - F1
Only thing missing is any mention of the underbody regs. surely the wash from the underbody venturi has a big effect on the following cars front wing? I think it would be easier to ban all forms of movable aero, everyone would know where they stood- it would be far easier to police and we may get away from having appeals after every race to contest the results!by reddwarf - F1
Fixed problem with car editor!! Stupidly did not notice that the gp3 file path it was trying to find wasnt the same as the actual file path the game is installed in. Duh!! Having sorted that and adjusted the rcr distances to stop it changing the car shape when you are close to another car, all is now sorted. Thanks to everyone who replied any way! P.S Nice work on the 07 updates and car shapby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
How do you set up the car to be faster than everyonr in the wet? I find mine practically undrivable!by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
To Abdelkader,- Absolutely spot on! patch now works much better with no hanging at all and po is reduced as well, wouldnt have thought of that one, surprised such a thing would make that much difference! Still no joy altering the carshape though. To Brianf666- Am running sw due to no graphics card in pc currently-at least until warranty expires then a geoforce or ati might get put in. I alwaysby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Anybody shed any light on this? I have 3 different season packages 69,86 and drafi5 07 pack as well as 2 other 07 packs. The 69 and 86 packs work fine but all the 07 packs send the po into meltdown and the game hangs forever. I am running in sw but have made all the conversions to this mode i can find. The problem seems to occur when you see another car on track if u're running by urselfby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
I dont think so - my machine only has integrated graphics at moment not a seperate graphics card (it defo needs one though!) which as far is i know doesnt have any nvidia bits. If it is a driver issue would it not afffect all of the patches?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Actually now its developed a new problem, the 07 updates now work but are prone to freezing mid game(while in-car) for upto 20 secs at atime before playing normally again. Very odd cos the orig game and the 87 season pack dont do this, just the 07 stuff, cos i thought it was just the pc overworking the processor and hanging.by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
I,m running all those patches too- the 87 pack works fine(which is from this site) I have to run in sw due to not having a graphics card in my pc at moment, so i think i have to use 'generate software' on all the cars etc in order to get it to go, actually not sure now-cant remember doing that with 87 pack......pity it doesnt go cos it looks quite good, proper honda livery etc whereas oby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Yeah so have i-although if you keep trying they work eventually. my main prob is that a lot of them d/l corrupted or in a file type my winrar doesnt like for some reason are they using something different to package them or is there an upgraded version of winrar i should have?by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
I think my controller is very similiar only its some rubbish thing from pc world! Your advice was spot on - i've got the same set up (eventually) for some reason the in game set up didnt recognize buttons 1-4, so i had no gear control- which isnt handy for getting your car back out of the wall which i do frequently! howver problem fixed-thanks again! btw how do you have the steering assistby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
I'm attempting to set up my controller so I can use the analog sticks for steering/brake/throttle control, which I think I've done right, and saved the results to a user set. The problem is I cant access any of the in-car menus now so i cant actually leave the pits alter car set up etc! How do you get round this? The controller has a seperate profiler if that helps although i have triby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3

Ok cool, yeah i did find the decrypted exe! Even sorted the controller issue so i might even be able to play the game now!!by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Thanks for that, I've got gp3edit,gpcaredit,gp3ape and gp3 master downloaded as well as gpx3.91. Will that be enough for updating most things in the game or can you recommend something i've missed? BTW do i start the game using 'start gpx' command in gpx or the original desktop icon as before? Thanks in advance for any advice! All i've gotta do then is sort out why my cby reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
Ooops, didnt see that when i looked in there last time! Thanks for pointing it out savinclaudio. Now apparently I've got a few more things to add like gp edit cmagic and so on. This should be fun......by reddwarf - Grand Prix 3
