Anybody know where I can find a patch that will enable the game to find my controller under Win XP?by LarryM - Off-Topic
Thanks Marko. I'll check it out.by LarryM - Off-Topic
How did you get your wheel to work?. F1RC does not even recognise that I have a wheel.by LarryM - Off-Topic
I dug out an oldish Cd with F1 Racing Championship on it. Remember that very promising game, which UBIsoft neglected, till it died. The patch never came. Well Ubisoft neglected a very promising rally game too, so I am not surprised. Anyway it had perhaps even more accurate tracks than GP4- maybe. AI and alot of other stuff was screwed up. I thought I would try it out just to see. The damned tby LarryM - Off-Topic
There may just be more than one nice lady. In fact there might be a whole army of them. I did not have to queue, which in my experience with PC support functions is almost unheard of. It seems that I am allowed to install Win xp on two different hard disks in the SAME machine. If you have 2 machines, you need to have 2 licences. Anyway XP currently takes 3,2 GB of the 4 GB partition in my old diby LarryM - Off-Topic
Well, I phoned MS this morning and got the nice lady Ville mentioned. She was very helpful and has hopefully given me the correct numbers for reactivation of win xp. I have to wait till evening to input them and ensure it works.by LarryM - Off-Topic
It's annoying yep. But Ville, I am in Finland too, so maybe the nice woman will help me out. Maybe not at 11 on a Sunday evening, but maybe tomorrow. I have 3 days , it says.by LarryM - Off-Topic
XP home wants me now to reactivate because my hardware has been updated so much (CPU, HD and Graphics card). When I try to put in the registration no, it says I have exceeded the number of times I can use this reg number. This pisse me off. So I am now supposed to phone them (if they answer the phone) and get a new no. Anybody else had this. SH*t. this pisses me off.by LarryM - Off-Topic

For easier kerb travel, some people over at high gear have been experimenting with Inertia and centre of gravity settings. If you don't want to mess with the physicsthen....The latest advice from Serial Mike there is to reduce tyre pressures by at least 5 lbs(something you can't do in GP4) and soften fast bump settings. This should help stop spinning on the more difficult kerbs. As Andrby LarryM - Off-Topic
Hehehe. A voice in the wilderness. GP4's tracks are superb - for 2001. The accuracy is amazing. I play more F1C myself and the community so far has updated the tracks like Magny Cours, Suzuka and Monaco. Even the new asphalt bits for A1. All in the appropriate years. We also have test tracks like Jerez made from scratch and Valencia (converted) as well as tons of other tracks around theby LarryM - Grand Prix 4
Two pieces of advice: One raise your ride hight, esopecially at the rear. I will bet you you are bottoming out as after breaking before a slow corner you lift off the break and the weight shifts to the rear. Drive a complete lap and have a look at ride hight in Telemetry. The other thing requires practice. You have to keep just a little bit of throttle on as you go into the corner, This will heby LarryM - Off-Topic
Ricardo's of course. F1C are Tantar and/or Serial Mike/Jp Peters. France is Ethone. Maybe you can slim it down.by LarryM - Grand Prix 4
Ok Neil. The CD is ready. I put comparison videos for both games on the following tracks. Melbourne Imola Magny Cours Monaco Interlagos Gp4 translated to video format very well. Just like the game replays. F1C gets a bit jerky on parts of the track. This especially noticeable at Interlagos. The ca,meras for some of the F1c tracks are new by Twigs. Taken straight off the Tv (see Interlaby LarryM - Grand Prix 4
Did you watch Melbourne today. YAWNNNN! What a bore. and not just because of Mclaren.by LarryM - Off-Topic
You can run it on pretty high detail and resolution. But one thing: YOu need tons of memory. Gforce 3 may not be the best choice. My Radeon works very well. At leat 512mb. I have three times that amount and it runs like a dream in 1600x1200 32bit everything on max (I havn't tried "perfect" settings yet. The RAm is important, cos the game kept sticking when trying to load. Problem wby LarryM - Off-Topic
Thanks for the sdvice, but it's metal and OK. It is looser than the right side and it screws in fine when you turn the thing upside down. Maybe it is an Aussie modelby LarryM - Off-Topic
Tantra has track updates for 2002, 2003 (RH) and CTDP 2003 mod. He also has some tracks from scratch (eg. Jerez). Get Spa and Brazil updates here also (these are great textures) You MUST get Ethone's (Denis Grebe) Magny Cours and Suzuka. Here: Don't forget to delete the HAT files in F!C dir/LOG/HAT.

You can fly a huge number of planes in IL2 FB. Also patch it (3 patches), brings you new planes, improved flight models more trees (if your rig can take it) more ground models, new ships, new maps (incl Normandy). Also you can find lierally thousands of skins out there. You also need to install IL2 Stab. This utility allows you to tweak alot of stuff and opens up correct markings (swastikas etc.by LarryM - Off-Topic
Yeah, same one. F1 Racing has a couple of really interesting articles and interviews. Cars have truly developed along the years. Compare the 1950's F1 cars to modern ones, and there's a huge difference. Also, driving styles have changed: in the 50's, powerslides were common, whereas now such a skid on the back could be considered a fatal mistake. Grip is everything in present F1.by LarryM - Off-Topic
Serial mike does graphic enhancemnent of JP peter's textures. Just the textures. Tantra edit's also track shapes. So you get the 2003 Monaco and an improved Nurburgring for example. Serial mike's textures go well with Tantra's tracks. I asked him and he confirmed this. Strongly recommend both downloads, but Tantra is really important. You can get Tantra for both RH 2003 and Cby LarryM - Off-Topic
The new BMW Williams FW-190. Ferrari, and Mclaren: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! ACHTUNG! (The current model of the Formula one Williams is FW-26, and the number goes up every year.) I've read an amazing article about what a BMW Williams might look like, should the teams be given no restrictions by the FIA. And the picture looked quite strange.

I have a Logitech Momo ff ( the one with the leather wheel). It screws on to my table pretty well... BUT now the lefthand clamp screw has become loose and won't screw in at all. When I remove the wheel and turn it upside down the screw works perfectly. I even took the whole thing apart and looked inside, and I swear I cannot figure it out. Anybody else suffered this? Got a solution? Annoyiby LarryM - Off-Topic
No Neil, didn't get the reply. Hmmm. I 'll check when I get home if your second one came through. I can do them in Div-x format, (about 15-16 mb each) but they look crap. The Microsoft format near the bottom of the list in Virtual dub. These are 20-30 mb each but look miles better. What format did you use?by LarryM - Grand Prix 4

Neil: don't forget to give me your address. How soon can you get the videos on-line after I receive the CD? BTW dolinseks, how do you feel about downloading them @20-30 mb per video? The Div-x versions look crap, so although they are smaller, It would be "nicer" to have a better format BTW: if you are interested and have time to DL it.
