I would refer you to RacerAlex's Advanced Formula 1 Setup Guide, which you may find with one simple Google search. It's written for F1 2002, but it's pretty much applicable for GP4 as well. (It's 'only' physics after all.) It writes it up very nicely - but its length also shows you why I decided not to elaborate on the issue here.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Thank you to you as well. Turns out I already had this .zip in another folder, but I re-downloaded it just in case and it turned out that what I've had earlier was an old version there. The new one and what Turbo provided are indeed the same.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Hi guys, I've fixed a rather major bug in Monaco Historic which caused often 60-70% of the field to crash out of a full-distance race at the Chicane. Unfortunately, this meant that I must had to remove the old wall on the inside of the complex to make room for the AI to navigate it when passing lapped cars. (So the cars can now use all the space that is available nowadays.) This and aby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Ah, it works. Thank you, Turbo Lover. But what are these? HD jips? (I've noticed these are the same that came bundled with a lot of tracks, but do not usually replace them.)by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
It already looks amazing - except the tarmac texture, I find it really odd and out of place. Otherwise, excellent.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Nope, I don't think so. All I have is gridleft.jip and gridline.jip in MAPS/RESOURCES/jams. What do I need?by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
Hi guys. I can't seem to be able to have a horizontal line on any track in-game (jip mapping). I chose jip 944, tried a number of different argument sets (mostly copied from other custom tracks), but to no avail. Note that this is a different issue compared to the one in this thread (or in one of its previous incarnation) where the line was invisible in GP4 Builder. I CAN see the liby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Hi guys. I occasionally pop in here in this topic and I'm always amazed by the rather professional organisation of this series. Do you stream the races somewhere, or is there a way to watch them afterwards? (Preferably the latter, in a few hours of spare time.) There are a few familiar faces here and sometimes I would like to watch how they fared. Amazing work here, once again.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Strictly speaking, that itself does not, but I did tweak the player car setup as well to make it similar to the AI.

OK, here is the situation: - Google Chrome currently blocks all my files on my Mediafire account for some reason. It claims they are malicious - contain malwares/unwanted softwares - but I specifically checked each and every one of them with the latest version of avast! and I can safely say they are clean. No harm has been done to your computer by downloading my earlier works. - Google haby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
As some of you may have already noticed, Google Chrome finds the .rar file malicious and blocks it for some reason. I feel I have to emphasise that I by no means intend to cause harm to your computer, I have already pulled the file down, ran multiple scans through it (avast! and COMODO) and I can confirm that it is 100% that it is a false positive.

Practice and qualifying sessions are now underway at Macau as we speak, so if you want to take a lap or two yourself, you now have the opportunity to do so in Grand Prix 4 as well - and on a layout that reflects its real world counterpart to the smallest of details. Please note the bugs that I wrote about in the gp4form file and above in this topic and be careful if you adjust settings such asby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
OK, I switched the AI from low downforce to medium downforce in the magic data and it helped the main problem, the crashes at the starts, immensely. There's still more than usual and you will definitely be surprised by some scenarios, but hey, it's quite frequent there in real life as well. Medium downforce is not necessarily unrealistic either. In fact, it gives better laptimes in aby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

I thought up removing the customised magic data altogether and things instantly changed dramatically - lap 1 crashes are less frequent (although still annoyingly usual), and cars can follow better which results in more overtakes. There's a lot of magic data changes, starting with the track grip, air pressure, fuel, CC shuffler, to wing levels, setups and bump factors and strategies (the oby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4

Thank you. We've already been talking about each others work (via PM) - even back in May. I took a good look at his files, but he has not built a CC-line yet, so I can't really compare.by Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
I very much hope that this will actually blow some minds... It's been sitting on my hard drive since May, but I did some more work on it before the motorsport world ramps up with the annual Macau GP and I plan to release it the days before the event itself (which is this weekend). Now, I do have some problem with it, and I'd very much welcome some feedback. The smaller issby Atticus. - Grand Prix 4
