I've been playing these race "Sim/games" for many years and I now don't know how to setup the car... no friggin' clue in fact..... I must be dumb I d/l the hotlaps for silverstone and I think I am just slow.... my reaction times are too far behind I think.... brain is not too sharp as a result of an accident few years back and I think (seriously) it has affected my eye/by captainvik - Grand Prix 4

in gp4 ? wot track ? wot got updated ? hmmmmmm !by captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I think my meaning got lost ! what I try to say is that I can change position of camera, helmet, arms ,steering etc. but then I want to disable... uncheck... untick KEY CONTROL and still have the changes I made but if I do that (untick KEY CONTROL) all the changes I made are gone and it goes back to defaults... EVEN THOUGH I still have ENABLE TWEAK ticked Does anyone understand what I tby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I absolutely LOVED Pitstop and then Pitstop II by Epyx games on my Commodore64 way back in 1984.... *cough* I was 22 then ! but seems like only yesterday...... It was so cool in PitstopII when they introduced the tyre wear and you could see little coloured bars on the tyres indicating they were wearing out... you then drove into the pits and your pitcrew changed wheels and refuelled you..... sby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
Am I doing something wrong with the updated gp4tweaker ? I use the Internal Camera Reposition Option and have adjusted all the cockpits in my 1995 season. I have ENABLE TWEAK ticked to use the new positions but I like KEY CONTROL not ticked because I don't want to use helmet movement (which is enabled by default) or bump any keys to move pos. However when I dont tick KEY CONTROL none oby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I have F1 2002 but don't play it at all..... from day one I always like gp4 best... I have gone back to F1 2002 several times to try and get into it as I like all racing games but it just doesn't grab me and I get pissed off with it. I had F1 2000 and loved it until F1 RC came out but Ubisoft killed that with no patch. Is F1 Challenge really crap ? Is it worth a go or just same oldby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I am guessing but the shot above.... is that from F1C ? If it is thats amazing ! Do the clouds change shape and position throughout the race ? or are they static .... ?by captainvik - Grand Prix 4
yeah I will try calean settings too.... @caelan when you say external engines at 81%, do u mean the other car engines ? thx vikby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
....ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa !!!!!! you are joking right ! this is the gp4 forum and sorry but that is just funny lost the serial ?! w....a....r....e....z...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz LMAO ROFLby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
really great but I didnt like the new skidding wheel sounds so I have reverted back to the original's.... I just find the sound you made a bit too "wooden" or "gravely" and prefer more of a "screeching" sound as I rely on that sound to tell me when I am about to lose grip when driving "on the limit". hope that's ok as all else is real nice. cheby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
JV... now there's a spoilt over-rated festerous wanker of a driver, a disgrace to the great Gilles's family name.... wish he'd piss off out of F1 and give someone worthy a go !by captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I have win98se drivers are latest they STILL have not fixed split axis on Thrustmaster F1 FF Racing Wheel. I constantly post on their forum about it as do others but the lazy Prix just ignore.by captainvik - Grand Prix 4
... damn ! nice explanation you found there Vader .... wish I could have split axis with the patched Gp4 but seems have to suffer with combined unless I go back to v1.00 bah !!!!! damn thrustmaster wish they'd pull their fingers out of their lazy asses... or hire Logitech to write their drivers for them.by captainvik - Grand Prix 4
Wish it did but on my TM F1 Forcefeedback Racing Wheel (Ferrari 2002 replica) it plain doesn't work and the reason is the lazy arse programmers at Thrustmaster have been promising a fix to the WIndows control calibration program since last October and still haven't delivered.... it needs an option to split axis / recognise z axis in the controller options. Just thought someone may haveby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I think both systems are great and not having been an Athlon/AMD owner there is no way I can criticize it good or bad..... I do know for a fact they run Hotter and need better cooling and I do know that the Intel P4 runs very nicely and cool without any fancy Cooling as mine just has the stock fan on it. I do not overclock to severe speeds though as some people do. It comes down to price and Iby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
@mortal wombat is your Thrustmaster the F1 FF wheel ? I also would like asolution so I can use the GP4 patched version and get split axis working. I went back to gp4 v1.0 to try it out and much prefer being able to brake and accel at same time through corners..... ... however I get much better performance with the patched version and do not like the ugly sky messages in version 1.0 so didby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
wheere is that d/load and is it for Thrustmaster F1 FF Racing Wheel ? what is the link ? thx vikby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
Has anyone with a Thrustmaster wheel (I have F1 FF) ever got split axis to work in the patched GP4 ???? It works in the unpatched version but ever since they released the patch the split axis stopped working for Thrustmaster wheel owners. Just wondering whether anyone ever got it to work..... maybe the marvelous Madman could put a tweak into his Gp4 Tweaker to solve ? any chance Madman ??? chby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
Absolutely fantastic... great work !!! nice site layout too.. cheers vikby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I traded mine for a Thrustmaster F1 ForceFeedback Racing Wheel They are both good wheels but personally I now prefer my TM It feels more solid and has steel shaft and ball bearings plus the Forcefeedback has a different feel to it which I like. I didnt like the newer Momo and was real disappointed they dont make the original Leather clad momo anymore.... that was awesome. Logi do make excby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
love to hear that ! can you post it somewhere or email ? captainvik@hotmail.com i wait eagerlyby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
@Fongu I maybe biased but I have to say after reading many posts here that P4 owners seem to get higher fps in GP4. I looked at both systems when I went to gamedude in Brisbane, Australia to purchase components to build my own system. Overall the Athlon was not cheaper as I had expected as the mobo and Orb fans worked out more expensive and I find Athlon systems to be noiser.....I love my P4 2by captainvik - Grand Prix 4
That would be ferking awesome !!! :D Just Do It !!! cheers vikby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
I agree.... ditch it once and for all time and go to the Don :Dby captainvik - F1
@ Bazza I have Corsair XMS3200LL (low latency) and my probs were similar and ended up being the ram not getting enuf voltage. .... also re your mention of the Radeon cards, by all means go for a 9700pro but steer clear of the 9600 if you can, go for the 9500pro instead... the 9600 is slower than the 9500 as its mem bandwidth is halved. As an aside I was using the Omega drivers and just upgraby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
On a fresh install I get recommended frames of 60 on my rig and it does indeed look smooth. Occupancy seems to shade over 100 at start of races but soon settles down and goes as low as about 50% on some tracks... rain does push it up a bit. With my updated 2003 cars and anim.wad I get recommendations of about 53-55 fps. I recently cleaned out my registry and re-installed my sblive plus driverby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
The sounds are great Ian... I prefer the F1C To get them working correctly though I had to make some small changes to the names of the files. You may not realise but you incorrectly named the external sounds to internal before you packed them. I just renamed them ie. 100 TC_New_Engine_Int_1a.wav I just renamed to 100 TC_New_Engine_Ext_1a.wav before pasting them over. The other thing Iby captainvik - Grand Prix 4
