Hi all, Thought it was only fair I provide an update to this as many people seemed interested. I haven't given up on this project, I've been quietly working away when I can on this over the last year. The main GUI of the game is completed and the algorithm that generates the performance file is also completed, however I still need to build in core functionality to the game suchby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Thanks for your thoughts Bruce, a lot of good ideas! I' like the good/bad engineer idea. I was thinking of sonething similar with each driver too, so each driver has a 'consistency' rating so for example Michael Schumacher, will be fairly consistent with results but a driver like Coulthard will be more erratic. So could win a race one day, finish lower down on another day. Aby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Well at the moment I'm writing it using C# using XML to store the data (initial season data and saved games) also going to be importing text files (as this is the file format GP4 exports race results in). What sort of features would people like to see included in the game? If you were building this what would you like to see in it? Obviously I've got several ideas in my head. Forby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Cheers appreciate it. Well watch this space, word of warning, progress will be slow - real life doesn't give me much free time these daysby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Yeah this is sonething I've given some thoughts to. It would be very very difficult to have changing car shapes/textures on a year by year basis. I mean it's possible using CSM but the mod file would be huge with all the different car shapes that cover 10+ years of f1. So to start with at least I'm going to be building it using standard 2001 car shapes and textures that cameby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Hi everyone, I'd like to propose an idea to the Grand Prix 4 community to gauge everyone's response. I've had the idea to create a good formula 1 manager game for a long time. I played the hell out of Grand Prix manager by EA Sports back in the day and despite it's many flaws it's still one of the better management games I've played. Picking it up again recentlby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Robert I thank you very very much! I didn't even realise there was a new version of CSM out there. All working fine now. Long live gp4!!by Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Hi guys, I'm having a similar problem here. GP4 and CSM work just fine. But for some reason I can't figure out, the updater.exe for CSM is not executing properly. Specifically, when ever I run CSM it comes up with a message about not enough access rights on the disk to launch the updater. Which is a problem because I would very much like to try the 1994 mod, but CSM won't letby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
Absolutely fantastic work! I've been dying to see a 1998 mod for gp4 for god knows how long now. Keep up the good work mate!by Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
I'm sorry if someone has already mentioned this. But it just occurred to me that Michael Schumacher is the only F1 driver that has actually raced on Pirelli tyres in an f1 race. When he drove for Benetton in 1991, they had Pirelli tyres. Has no baring on this season, but just a fun fact I felt like sharingby Dave124 - F1
Anyone else think that if it was Mclaren that broke the rules they would be suspended from the championship all together... the inconsistency of FIA stewards perplexes me, Ferrari should've at least got a fine.by Dave124 - F1
Actually Irvine was born in Northern Island so technically that makes him British :D Oh yeah and in case anyone was wondering this is the same dave124 who was supposed to be doing the performance files for this mod. And yes there are all done, I just haven't been asked for them, So If anyone involved in this mod would like them just get in touch by the usualy method. Thanks!by Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
hi Roadwarrior, welcome to Gp4, there is a 1994 season mod for Gp4 which you can get at the following site: keep in mind that it is only a beta version, i think some people are working on some new cars and other things, you can download a new jordan at gp4db.com. also keep in mind that GP4 can only support 11 teams, so i'm afraid that the simtek, pacific and lotus(i think) teams are nby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
You need to go into the folder where the 2006 mod is located, just double click where you selct the mod on CSM's Load and restore mods which will take you straight to it. Then you need to find the folder where the performance files are, which is Data/performace. the way the 2006 mod works is it uses a different perormance file depending on the race you have selected, so you will need to seleby Dave124 - Grand Prix 4
