I've been playing through my first season on GP4 and have suffered the odd random PC crash whilst racing, I've now got to Suzuka the last GP and the problem has got worse and so bad I cannot finish the race. It seems to happen in races when a lot is happening on screen like a heavy braking zone with lots of cars or when a collision is about to happen. The game crashes and freezes,by BYF - Grand Prix 4
just as a finishing note i hated f12002 ! F1C feels like a different game with a great new physics engine! and thats coming from an avid GPL and nascar 2003 fan. and jginete you said "they have wheels, high downforce wheels" I can see where you have edited your post! and what someone said about getting a 1.15 at magny cours in gp4 and 1.20 at in F1C is exactly what i meanby BYF - Grand Prix 4
jginete "there are wheels" no your kidding me! really? "high downforce wheels"!!! what!? oh thats where ive been going wrong! i better get them high downforce wheels out LOL :D Post Edited (07-04-03 22:46)by BYF - Grand Prix 4
not that much grip! c'mon, the 2003 cars can't take bends like you can in gp4! the grip is too muchby BYF - Grand Prix 4
vader? you ever driven a 1999-2003 F1 car? If you think the gp4 physics are better then i must dissagree! eau rouge flat out with no front wing is ridiculous in gp4! and pre-planned spins! car handling is too easy in gp4 coz of less realistic physics i think! toomuch high speed grip! There is a ultra high realistic physics setting in F1C have you tried it?by BYF - Grand Prix 4
race results were posted our forum with GPLRA but the admin have only recently got the new website up and running! season 3 begins in 2 weeks! and theres still room for a couple of drivers if any of you are interested. just check the deatils on how to join on-: www.cap35.net I didn't mean this to be a dig at gp4, just my opinions after playing GPL and F!C!! make up your own minds, but giby BYF - Grand Prix 4
yes i did win a 6 month league! and got a -35 rank pretty quickly! its true! here is the weblink and and look on gplrank and search for driver "graham byford" so i do have some sim experience!by BYF - Grand Prix 4
ive said my piece! just try GPL and f1C for a few weeks! you will look at gp4 in a much different light, and think why bother with gp4 Post Edited (07-04-03 19:25)by BYF - Grand Prix 4
ive had gp4 for a year and gpl for 6 moths with a gpl rank of -35!! ive also won a 6 month long gpl league Post Edited (07-04-03 19:22)by BYF - Grand Prix 4
the handling in gp4 is arcadey to me! too much high speed grip like eau rouge or 130r and blanchemont are easily flat out in gp4!! not so in f1 challenge!! IMO grand prix legends is still the greatest f1 sim by a mile bit F1C is the best modern f1sim without a doubt. IMO GP4 is not a sim! GP2 was the best one of the GP seriesby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Hi You guys are still not playing gp4 are you? the game was ok for two months but then i found out about grand prix legends which is far better in everty department especially physics and online play for up to 20 drivers on a 56k modem! Also there is now F1 challenge 99-02 which is the new king, and far better than GP4 and even gives grand prix legends a run for its money! The physics are far bby BYF - Grand Prix 4
You Ralf fans are missing something!! I can't remember JPM being behind Ralf for many races in 2002!! Just look at the 2002 championship it doesn't lie!! JPM FINISHED 3RD AND ABOVE RALF!!! AND does anyone remeber montreal race 2002 JPM Would have won if it wasn't for technical faluire and was easily the fastest driver all weekend and was taking over a second a lap out of MS duriby BYF - F1
calm doen ellis!! I did do a search and none of the solutions work!! though i did look at the link morbid provided but i don't understand a word of it im afraid?!! Ive even tried another fresh install and patched it etc etc, but when i make a save i cannot reload it, good old "no error" appears. I thought forums are for helping people with problems not shouting about how stupby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Just to let you know that i am using a clean install patched version of gp4 and im still getting the "no error messege"!!! BYFby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Ive recently returned to gp4 hoping for some improvements. I have just installed the patch and i know u cannot load gp4 v1.00 saves but it won't even load gp4saves im making in the patched version including setups, control setings and game saves just says "no error", even that messege is wrong what a joke !! it should say error, jesus!!.

Ive recently installed averygpfan's car.wad and performance which i think is great, but the only problem is that raikkonen is shown in game as being in the number 4 car which is correct but has the coulthard blue with white cross helmet. Also coulthard the number 3 car ,which is correct, has Raikkonen's helmet!! Is this a known problem with this car.wad and performance file? Coz at theby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Well the title says it all really! ive installed the car.wad and anim.wad but i don't know how to get the performance file into gp4 patched version. With the non patch version i would use performance editor 1.2 but it doesn't seem to work with the patched version of the game and says the gp4.exe is invalid or missing and that i need a decrypted exe, which i have!!!??? Please help!! Bby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Ive just installed averygpfan's car.wad in my patched gp4 directory and it looks great!! However im having trouble using performance editor 1.2 with the patched gp4 as when i set the patch in config its says my gp4.exe is invalid or missing!! "make sure my gp4.exe is decrypted". However im using the GP4 (1.02 Patched) Decrypted No-CD Patch !! so i thought it would be ok!! Does perby BYF - Grand Prix 4
cheers for the tips guys i have this problem sorted now. You were right vader i had to choose user set instead of wheel presets. I can't even get the non patched gp4 to start up with my MOMO force plugged in it crashes to desktop, but it works fine now with the patched version, thanks!! Cheers BYFby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Rayq!! try turning things off like anistropic filtering and AA =antialiasing under display settings in control panel, these cripple PO. Also put environmental mapping to static instead of dynamic as that eats performance too and doesn't look right either. Im using an athlon 2400xp 166fsb and a geforce 4 ti 4600 stock speed on an epox 8rda nforce 2 board with 512mb of ddr333. I get about 13,by BYF - Grand Prix 4
ive tried this already and have this disabled always as i also play grand prix legends and nascar with split axis, its just gp4 that don't seem to work with it. If i choose combined axis then i do have a brake and accelerater buts its not split axis and the brake keeps locking up. Im using the patched version 9.6 of gp4! Cheers BYFby BYF - Grand Prix 4
This is a great season update!! its the best so far without doubt!! Great Job i ran the gfx test after using your gfx file and it reccomended i use 60 fps!! at 1028x768 with quinicunx AA turned on! which in real terms in my expereince means use 50fps! this is great. However i wasn't happy with the lack of detail in the mirrors so i added some track or the fogging in the distance plus onlby BYF - Grand Prix 4
I can't get gp4 to work with split axis on my momo force. It calibrates ok but when i go into advanced and click accelerater brake tab they are both showing up as controler A and which i think means Y axis. Does this mean the brake and accelerater are both using the Y axis coz thats what it looks like!? The thing is i can't change this setting as its greyed out and is unclickable. Whenby BYF - Grand Prix 4
I have updated to the latest logitech drivers and the momo works fine on gpl and nascar. I just tried turning on combined axis a minute ago and now gp4 patched version works now with brakes!! It seems that gp4 does not like split axis accelerator and brake pedal as when its on split axis i still have no brake!! Split axis thou is an absolute must in order to drive fast and realistically. Is thisby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Hi Ive recently bought a logitech momo force FF wheel to play my pc racing games on (gpl and gp4), however i can't get it working on gp4!! On the non-patched gp4 with addons it just crashes at start (black screen) when im using the wheel and pedals. BUT... On the patched version the game seem ok with the wheel and pedals caliberating ok and i can even adjuct the FF scaling. However whenby BYF - Grand Prix 4
Ive just installed the new official patch 9.6 and the decrypted no cd file but when i try to use gpxpatch its says "not a valid GPx executable". Does this mean that gpx patch doesn't work with the new patch? As i think gpxpatch is great and it like to continue to use it. Perahps a new gpxpatch is in the pipeline? Hopefully!! Cheers BYFby BYF - Grand Prix 4
I need some help trying to reconfigure the gpx patch buttons. I want to change the buttons that toggle the time or speed info (default s) and the race postion info (default b) and also the time to car inf ront or behind (default v). I have opened the key.ini file and it seems a simple task of changing these settings. BUT the thing is i would like to use the buttons on my joystick to toggle the tvby BYF - Grand Prix 4
I agree with you all the heat haze in gp4 is crap, Geoff should have looked at the heat haze in gran turismo 3 on playstation2 to see how it should be done. The PS2 has apparently inferior graphics to the average PC but this was done over a year ago on gt3 and looks awesome! Another example of PC graphics being too reliant on hardware with poor programming.by BYF - Grand Prix 4
What a f**king joke, its only for cheating Rubens at the a1-ring was he able to do it as well as being so lucky and Michelins @!#$ tyres again. Id like to see Montoya in the other Ferrari, he would wip schumacher!! no question. BYFby BYF - F1
