No update to give, been a bit quiet on the GP4 front, although probably good timing given that Putrajaya is coming up next in the Formula E calendar and there are bound to be minor aesthetic adjustments. Something I do want to is from Beijing. This is mainly for my own future reference but in case anyone else was interested. There are a lot of 360 degree videos from Beijing: In many ways tby neldav03 - Grand Prix 4

You may have noticed the announcement that Hong Kong is coming to Formula E for the 2016/17 season. I was hoping to release a very basic .dat once it had been tested in GP4.

Excellent, did the trick nicely, thanks. A few visibility issues, but can deal with them later. As an aside, great news from AUTOSPORT is that the track layout will not change for the 2015/16 season (phew!) -by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Would someone be willing to have a quick look at the main .gp4 file for me please? I've uploaded the .wad to OneDrive: Like with my previous track attempt, I'm having display issues. Not with floating objects, but objects that appear and disappear, weirdly this only seems to be happening on the left hand side of the track.

Over the past year, an electric revolution has started, with Formula E. Now, it comes to Grand Prix 4... More soon.by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Anyone know what could be the culprit of this issue?by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Brilliant, just what I was looking for, thank you! :Dby neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Does anyone have the blue Julius Baer logo that is seen in Formula E with the small 'Swiss Global Banking' writing underneath? Cheers.by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
An interesting app potentially that is pre installed with Windows 10 is something called "3D Builder". I've not had chance to play with it yet, but thought it was worth mentioning.by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Just tested Grand Prix 4 on Windows 10 through GPxPatch, and all seems to be fine. Also loaded up GP4 Builder and that seems to be good as well. (Didn't spot a Windows 10 thread, so thought I'd post in case anyone was thinking of making the jump)by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Thanks for the reply Prblanco. As it turns out, a lot of the flat areas around the Putrajaya circuit actually look 'flat' with zero elevation (there may be some here and there, but I'll need to go onto the on-board footage to have a look, certainly not as much as the elevation above claims). However, Google Maps was a very good baseline for around half of the circuit, meaningby neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
I'm going to let the cat out the bag for the purposes of this thread - the track that I'm working on is from the Putrajaya ePrix, which means nothing, unless you've been watching Formula E. I plotted the various points a month or so ago using as mentioned above. The lowest point is 26.2 meters above sea level, and the highest point is 38.2 meters above sea level, according tby neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Interesting responses, thanks both. Finding detailed elevation profiles may be difficult given that the circuit that I'm doing is a street circuit. I have, however, got a copy of every session for that circuit (it's only been used once so far, to my knowledge) so will use that as a guide. I think what I'll do is use Google Maps as a base and then use the onboards and TV copieby neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Question for you guys.... I'm using to plot out elevation for a real track. How accurate do you find this to be in comparison to the real thing? Do you use onboard shots as well to adjust the elevation as needs be? Just interested to know the techniques that others use when it comes to elevation and real circuits. Thanks.by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
Excellent thread, which makes it much easier to find content. Really should be stickied to this forum.by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4

Quick question - when I switch from the Graphics tab to the Physics tab, the graphical elements are 'dimmed' within the main window. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? EDIT - Demonstration -by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4
I'm thinking of beginning work on a Formula E track soon... but am I right in saying that the pit lane must be in the same location as the start/finish straight?by neldav03 - Grand Prix 4

Okay guys, I'll be honest. I haven't played Grand Prix 4 in ages, and have more recently moved onto F1 2014 on Codemasters (booo, I know). Combine that with Uni work and running a blog elsewhere on the web means that St Petersburg has not been touched since last April. I doubt I will come back to this, at least in the forseeable future.
