Looking forward to racing this one! It will use it for my 'fantasy' megapatch where I put all the tracks I want to race but don't have a suitable 'real' season to add into. They include: Macau, Taruma, Autopolis, new Zandvoort, Sandown, Eastern Creek, Road Atlanta and Sugo - to name a few. Cheers! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi guys Finally after about 4 years work, on and off, I have finished the 1994 megapatch. Its been downloadable for a few months, as a 'beta' version. But now all the track Jams have been painstakingly updated from 1996 back to 1994. All the car Jams and helmets can be adjusted to match the right combinations for each race. There were a lot of driver changes during the year. Whatby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Dirk I have sent you updated JAMs for Fuji with better Bridgestone logos. Hope you like ... Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Dirk Thanks for clarifying all that! I think you made the right choice to have more advanced pit building than the sheds / farm barns that they had in 1976 as this gives wider use to the circuit into the 1980s. I am going to make JAM ads adjustments that are more accurate to 1976, not a lot to do but worth it for absolute accuracy .g. different Bridgestone logo style. Thanks again for makinby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Dirk Really love the new fuji track. A great job. I wonder what year those pits are based on? Is that mid 1980s or later? Highlights in this new track are in my view: the stunning scenery, the pit buildings and the detail in the JAX sign. I notice there are no crash barriers just after the last corner. Perhaps this is an error from my graphics card. Any ideas? Cheers! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi everyone, Over the past 10 years or so I have collected a huge number of carsets. Many of them are downloadable here, but I want to make these available so you can all look through to see if there are any of them you don't have. Just as I did with my track collection. So ... help yourselves! SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW LINKS! Enjoy! Philipby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Wooohooo! can't wait to drive Fuji with the F1 1976 MegaPatch! Reporting back soon ... Thanks Dirk!! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Fantastic work once again Dirk! It will be a great addition to F1 76 for the end of season finale. Looking forward to racing it soon. - Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Yes! I can relate to all that. I would have been 29 with small children then. My oldest two kids are off to Uni in a few months .... Big thanks to the guys who set this up and keep it going. Making stuff for GP3 and sharing it here is such a great hobby which I plan to continue with well into middle age and beyond. Here is to the next 15 years! Elioby elio2012 - Off-Topic
F1 1987 Megapatch now added. See first posting. Massive thanks to Ettore for use of 1987 track pack and to Holemad for improvements to Paul Ricard. This upload includes a new cockpit based on Ettore's work. This is the first megapatch to use a fixed copy of GP3 1.13 that does allow debug mode. All other megapatches from 69 to 91 will get this fix soon. Enjoy! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Rene I have worked out how to change the track map myself!! The shadow effect used GPxSAT is a subtle but an excellent improvement. I am going to upgrade all Megapatches to 4.44 shortly ... Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Rene I used 4.24a because that is the one that Holemad recommended, so I felt it would be a 'safe' option. I don't expect 4.44 would be a problem. By the way, the track map in your later years of GpxPatch are small on my screen and come on automatically at various corners. Can I enlarge it and can I make it so it only come on and off when I press '8'? Cheersby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
With the help of Rene Smit, I discovered that my megapatches were not using GP3 1.13 but are stuck in the original GP3 mode. This only affects megapatches up to 1991 (as 1994 onwards use GP3 2000). This issue caused debug mode not to work, making some tracks inaccessible. I will be making the neccarry changes over the next week or two and let you know when this is done, in case anyone wantsby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Sorry but I don't have the technical know-how to suggest solutions for this problem. Others may know. Best of luck. ELioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Thanks Dirk for all the time you put into tracks. It really makes for some great racing!by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
No, sadly I have not managed to solve this yet. I think it is to do with the GPxpatch.exe file itself as changing everyting else (including the GP3.eve and contents of the gpxdata file) makes no difference. Rene Smit has said he will take a look once he is feeling well again. I can run in debug mode with GP3 2000 and other people's copy of their game (GP3 1.13 shared by Holemad) will run oby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Evandro I am impressed. Perhaps we now have a new track editor available - Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Good to hear that about Enna. It will be very useful for my F3000 1989 megapatch I am working on now.by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Sorry to hear that Rene. Get well soon!by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Rene I have sent you a PM. I wonder if you can help me with a debug mode issue. Thanks! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
I have this problem too. But as I have seen it on some other tracks before I didn't mention it as I thought it was unfixable.by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Taube Yes, the length of the tracks should not be a problem. But ettore did say that several need to run in debug mode and I can't get my megapatches to work in debug mode. Dirk H sent me his whole game to try out and with that I could get debug mode to work, so its not my computer that is the problem but the way I have patched and repatched my own copies of the game that become the meby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
I have a few tracks (Detroit, Hungary, Monaco, Adelaide etc) that I can not load as my version of GP3 can't use the debug mode without crashing. Any ideas? See other posting. But what I have seen so far is incredible! I will give detailed feedback on just what I like so much soon!by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi guys Any idea why this might be? It happens with all versions including 3.91 and 4.24 and 4.44 in my case. This is the error log I get: Starting log GPxPatch version: 3.91 GPx version detected: decrypted GP3 v1.13 Verbosity level is 2 OS version info: Windows NT 6.1 Service Pack 1 build 7601 Total physical memory: 2047 MB (free: 1664 MB) Debugging gp3v.exe Process created:by elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Oh man! No early night for me. I can't wait to combine this with my F1 1987 MegaPatch. Thanks so much for all your hard work on this special project. Cheers! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
I am curious as to why the BF Goodrich logos on Jam 'bridge_goodrich' do not show up in the game. Is the flag marshal post by the startline not added yet but the Jam made? See: Cheers! Elioby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
My current work load ... F1 1994, 1976 and 1969 - improving jams where possible, to better match track adverts etc. Once Ettore releases his F1 1987 track pack, I will add these to my 1987 MegaPatch and re-release it. This also allow me to move forward with my F3000 1989 MegaPatch. This features Alesi and Donnelly at EJR, Lehto and Irvine and Pacific and Comas with Bernard at DAMS. I have mby elio2012 - Grand Prix 3
Hi Dirk I just tried out your Mosport track. FANTASTIC WORK !!! I did not expect it to be so detailed. I love all the pit area details and the horizon with the city in the distance. Great atmosphere. The track itself is a real roller-coaster. On my first lap (as James Hunt in my '76 MegaPatch) I managed to hit Ickx at the hairpin an roll his car over. Ohh dear!
