I think it best if I don't release them then but suggest I send them to you? You will able to do a better job but at least its a base to work with? Can you send me your pm to david.moore857@ntlworld.com and I'll send them as I do them.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
I'm amending my own latest tracks with ads that more accurately correspond to the up coming season. Essentially what I'm doing is replacing Bridgestone (the biggest job) with Pirelli, as well as other advertisers like ING, RBS and so on who have left F1. In most cases apart from Bridgestone this involves echanging one tex with another from a current advertiser (this is not at all scientby davidm - Grand Prix 4
The best thing to do is to "force best carshapes" in Team Editor - automatically selects lod 0. Not so good though if you have a less powerful PC.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Hey mate - just be a bit polite. The McLaren particularly is not an easy car. It is a tremendous effort to have what has been done already prior to the season.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Yes - this was brain fade. Yesterday the game got corrupted when I ran a version of Abu Dhabi I got from GP4 Argentina, it was impossible to replace the montreal track slot with another circuit, the game just came up with Yas Marina. So re-installed GP4 and had the crashes. Thing I forgot after the reload was the new car wads have just lod0 and I forgot to specify force best carshape in Team Editby davidm - Grand Prix 4
Apologies please ignore this - an elementary error made.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
I really hope someone will have a thought on this, it would be very much appreciated. I have got a new pc and the game has run fine for 2 weeks with various new wads. Suddenly as of yesterday it started crashing. It still loads the original cars wad no problem but any other wad now crashes the game when starting the track loading bar. Thanks in advance. This is the latest gpxpatch log: Startinby davidm - Grand Prix 4
Thanks Fongu. Unfortunately the link to the car does'nt work.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Just a very small point - I don't want to underpin the views of great track makers. I think the landscape and trackside grass should be very dried grass in style - this is the situation in the high slopes in this part of South Africa. Also I think tracks of this age should have more obvious rough grass, things were much less sophisticated thirty years ago.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
On a completely different note - has anyone successfully compiled a wad yet? I have tried and it CTD once you open a race and try to save part way in. It then gets worse and corrupts the whole game after a few attempts without loading the race at all. I've noticed 4 or 5 of the cars lod 0 are of a different size between car 1 and 2. Would this have something to do with it? Thanks in advance.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Thanks very much thats really helpful.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Duffer I'm sorry I must be thick or getting dementia. How do I install new tracks without renaming wads etc? I could'nt find any guidance in the download read me. Do I have a separate folder with wads and dat's and simply select or what? Apologies if I've missed something because this is great (I don't like using TSM).by davidm - Grand Prix 4
The way I think it works is the hard disk is split in two, one part is Windows and the other is Mac OS X. Essentially when you go into Windows it should work just like a pc. I need an apple mac for my work so this seemed the best compromise, rather than buying a pc just effectively for GP4. I imagine all the mods should work equally well. Perhaps CaptinFranko could confirm as he runs GP4 on a macby davidm - Grand Prix 4
Thanks alot guys. Appreciate it.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
I would be very grateful if anyone can make an observation about how this refurbished iMac would run GP4 with windows xp installed via bootcamp.

Have you seen the forecast for Fri/Sat on the BBC site - showers and then heavy rain. Sunday should be warm and dry but quali may be a lottery with sand as well as rain.by davidm - F1

Thanks very much indeed for this work. Like many others I think these are brilliant tracks and give a fantastic sense of immersion in the 1980s. I have just two queries. Could you tell me which slot Detroit should be in if not using TSM, all the other tracks I've established and second has anyone had any problems with Montreal CTD during a race if you try to save the race and return later. Iby davidm - Grand Prix 4
Thanks - thats great.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Hi Josekast This is great. Would it be possible to do lower lods? For people with poor pc's.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Thanks I have'nt used Tweaker because I've set everything up with Team Editor. Certainly if anyone else has any recommendations I would appreciate but thanks anyway for this.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Would anyone be able to advise me how to change the number of race laps for the DTM circuits like Zandvoort and Brno. I would like to be able to run proper GP length races on them. Thanks in advance.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Eddie I really think you should post your own thread about your track plans and not take over Plodekk & Cleberpisters. Their track packs are huge works in the making and the thread does'nt need random information about other stuff.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
This is interesting. Don't know what the ramifications of HRT being Spanish based, Virgin English and Durango Italian. Maybe that is'nt an issue but probably is for the workforce. Does the FIA have a stance on this? I think Virgin have done well within their resources but I don't think Branson looks at F1 like Tony Fernandes. To him its about the Virgin brand and brand coverage etcby davidm - F1
I think there's a touch of sour grapes with Irvine, take what he says with a pinch of salt. He claimed into in front of DC that the Mclaren drivers were an inferior pairing to he and MS and the reason that Ferrari kept up at all was because they played team order games. This is all clearly absolute nonsense and his own take on the world. Astonished DC let it pass like that.by davidm - F1
Okay thanks for that. I kind of suspected it with the Intel chipset.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
I know quite a few queries like this have been asked but would appreciate any thoughts. I plan a new PC at the year end but can use a relatives machine for the next few months. It is a Pentium dual core 2.5 ghz with 1 mb ram but has an onboard Intel chipset so not great on the graphics side. I don't mind using lower res tex's but at present with my AMD 1.6 ghz and a basic Nvidia I canby davidm - Grand Prix 4
I have got huge sympathy with Belini, both because of the piracy, which is now a way of life with music and just about anything else, I am a writer. Fortunately I manage to get most of my stuff through a publisher or on commission. What I also think is wrong with our community is that we are not prepared to pay a small fee for something really good. We all want something for nothing. If the artisby davidm - Grand Prix 3
Yes I understand your observations but it was just a case of whether Rob was/would consider these for a form of 80s immersion - it is what keeps me using GP3. Paul Ricard, I believe is the new one and the Smoking Pen one has AI problems. I have not seen an Osterreichring that was really any good, perhaps you could point me in the direction of one? Purple Racer Zandvoort Zandvoort 1970 was brillieby davidm - Grand Prix 3
Rob - I think alot of people would be very happy if you uploaded the 85 Jaca. There are so few good 80s tracks. You never thought of doing Zandvoort 80s and Osterreichring 80s and Paul Ricard 80s? Just these tracks would make a big difference to the game as well as Jaca. May thanks for your great work over the years.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
