John Maverick press statement Well yeah, that was a bit of a crap. I wasn't able to get temperature in my tires but obviously my teammate was. Now we'll have to check if it was my fault or a wrong setup maybe. I'm not happy with 12th place, but at least it's one point and it was without driver boost, at least. In the first races JW had these problems, this time it was my tuby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Good to see that I'm not the only one not being able to see the sense in waiting...by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
I suggest to use Virtual Dub and Divx Codec. With this you can downseize your videos to around 250 MB per 15 minute video. Agreed that the quality isn't that good, but it's enough for everybody to see what's happening. At least I didn't find it funny to upload a 2GB video to youtube (what would have lasted around 6 hours)by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

I'll use my GPGSL helmet in a slightly edited version, as the top is Swiss anyway Instead of the Aston Martin Racing logo there will be a "Team Switzerland" layer. I was just too lazy to render another presentation only for this little detailby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Perf corrections: Second Driver=28,Ben Johnson,16058,585,16124,579 (Forgotten boost) The rest is correctby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Swiss car and helmet is finally uploaded now. John Maverick (myself) is fine for the first season but maybe I'll interchange myself with a fictional driver for next season thenby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Well, I'd say there's nothing more to say on this. I noticed your points. @Rico Please don't get me wrong. I enjoyed doing this coverage and I'm glad that you all make proposals to improve it. So no need to feel sorry for constructive critics. Nevertheless the accent is on "constructive" and I have to agree that I'm not very happy with Maikel's behaviby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Hmm, that's strange. I tried both a view times now and and very fully loading. Maybe give it another try later. /edit: Mal, there's a bracket missing at the link for the fastest lap picby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Well, as you can see there is a lot of encouragement already. I, personally, think that this is a great idea, too. And if this new CSM is really possible to be created, this'll be a big step for GP4 modding. To be honest, I'm pretty sure that there will be some authors who won't be fine with this kind of working. But there is absolutely nothing to worry about. What your new tooby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Thanks for these nice comments so far Unfortunately I wasn't able to enter the side anymore after I finished posting the race, so I was unable to send the results to Mal. I did this now and the official results should soon be posted by the GPGSL.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
The first half of the race will be online in about 10 minutes....the other half in about 2 hours. I just want to say sorry for my crappy English, as already mentioned English isn't my mother tongue. And in addition to that I'm not a used Race commentator Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
You had bad luck with conditions, Marko. There was a time window of about 7 minutes where the track dried up very fast and very much. Unfortunately you were exactly in the middle of this window when you started your flying lap while Rick was exactly at the end of it and had the absolutely best conditions. After that it started to rain again and therefore the two last runs both were much slower thby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

That's the reason why I hate to compress it in divx codec, the quality is really poor. I'll try to keep a slightly bigger resolution for the race, sorry for that.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

No comment, you'll have to wait until the video is up (even with crappy voice coverage by myself!) after the F1 raceby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Good theory but I suppose that wouldn't work because of two reasons: 1. I can't prove it but I'm very sure that Skype doesn't have the exact same delay all the time 2. When you talk to each other via Skype you don't really recognize the time delay. This means, totally apart from when whom starts the race, when one person answers to the other the same problem occurs agby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Do you mean Lo2k's speed indicator? The one which comes with with the gpxpatch? That'd definitely be possible although it might look nasty as you can only turn it on and off in 3 steps (full, partly, off) with one button at the keyboard oh, and I just forgot: The Qualifying will be run after my breakfast and uploaded after the F1 race later.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

I thought about maybe commentating the race, at least. But as I'm not a native English speaker that might get crappy We'll see.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Ruben, John Warrington and Dan Mills all had the problem that they most times had traffic either directly at the start when other cars entered the track from the pitlane or at the end by breaking for the last s-corner. Ruben, for example was on a pole lap in first sector when he got some traffic in the middle and end sector (somewhere in a part which I had to cut out in the video, sorry for that,by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
well, if everything goes fine he wants to upload the race driver mod update this night. But I got Jalving's tex files, so take your time Ruben. I can fit them in manuallyby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Yes, Ruben sent me the test drivers update some hours ago, so that's sorted. And no worries, I'll wait with the qualy and the race until I got the race driver updateby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Ruben, I already had them installed. I was just too stupid to shut off the standard overlays ingame (what would have been the same problem with your update ) Anyway, your update was integrated and the FP has been run. But I just recognized that the vids are way to big for Youtube, therefore I'll have to cut and compress them so that the FP might fit into 2 parts at least.
