Don't use the gears to adjust your speed. Look further down the MD file: CC power factor (ace, pro etc). Lower those values until the CC cars top speed more or less matches yours. (When I do it I drive the 6th fastest car and match it with the 6th fastest CC car).by Noog - Grand Prix 4
Actually that's right: it was GP2 I used to play linked up too. Don't think I've ever tried to run GP4 on a lan now that I think about it. Funny thing is, the guy I used to race against back then came over the other day and I just happened to have GP4 running when he turned up. He was absolutely amazed at how it looked (and sounded, because I'd just added alsoft into the miby Noog - Grand Prix 4
@ gp4wonder Thanks for the info. I'm guessing you're right that the developers probably turned off EAX in lan mode deliberately. Not only would it be a bit chaotic in the same room, but the game stretched even a top end machine back in the early 2000s and I noticed last night that if I left a video running and played the game the game sound got a bit of a stutter, like the soundcardby Noog - Grand Prix 4
Go and get the latest version: And take a look at the alsoft.ini in there. It's much more comprehensive than the one in the OP here and it has lots of comments to show you where everything goes. My primary samples in my personal GP4 mods are always 44Khz, so I'm using 44Khz, which is the default, but you'll see how to change it in the alsoft.ini above. Yes, headphones.

Have you tried this mod at other circuits? Estoril for instance? I did a couple of laps late last night because it just happens to be next in my current championship and I got some strange results, ie the sound fades to nothing at certain points on the track - but I went straight back into Monaco and it was fine again. So because I'd made an edit or two in the alsoft.ini after my Monaby Noog - Grand Prix 4
I'm afraid not bud: not for a week or two anyway. It's a very busy time for me and my spare machine is doing something else. But for what it's worth I strongly suspect it would work - although TBH I would have expected it to work Windows as well. Seems illogical that it doesn't.by Noog - Grand Prix 4
Funny thing is, I've NEVER had a problem using all cores in any flavour of Linux - and I think that supports the idea that all core crashing in Windows was related to the dsound.dll all along. But yes, installing this has brought new life to the game for me as well.by Noog - Grand Prix 4
Amazing. Works under Linux with a non-Creative Labs Soundcard too! 1. As above, download dsound.dll and dsoal-aldrv.dll into your game folder. 2. ***EXTRA STEP*** Tell WINE to look for them (WINE CONFIGURATION, select GP4.exe, go to LIBRARIES tab and ADD dsound.dll and dsoal-aldrv.dll ) 3. Run the game, go to SOUNDS and finally that pesky 3D sound option is no longer greyed out, so sby Noog - Grand Prix 4
You remember how you right-clicked on the right hand side so you could select ADD LAYER MASK? Well, if you load up your TGA again and right click in the same place again you'll see DELETE LAYER MASK - or better still, you can choose DISABLE LAYER MASK that just turns it off while you work on your pic.by Noog - Grand Prix 4
Also, I meant to add: don't give up. It's worth learning how to do this. And if you're still stuck, do what Fongu said. I only made my vid because I didn't notice Fongu had posted when I made it, but you may well find his suggestion easier. Good luck!by Noog - Grand Prix 4

All good and valuable advice, but try this: Click on the object. Camera will probably be set to 20 (but you probably don't have 20 cameras). Change it to 0 (which I think means 'allow this object to be shown in ALL camera views) and it should work.by Noog - Grand Prix 4
No promises, but this might work for you: Open up the anim.wad file in the mod (using easywad or whatever) In the animationdata\quallfying\props folder AND the animationdata\race\props folder you'll see a file called flag.rfb Replace those files with ones from a mod that doesn't have the problem.by Noog - Grand Prix 4

Try this: Open f1graphics.cfg in an editor Scroll down to line 38 and you'll see an entry like this: 0 ; Rotate wheels via textures v2 If it's 0 make it 1, if it's 1 make it 0. Save, restart game - and your problem might be gone.by Noog - Grand Prix 4

Look for the section like this in your magic data file: 20 ; pitstop group 1 % (percentage of cars that will stop once*) 27 ; stop 1 (first stop will be between this lap...) 10 ; pit window 1 (and this one, ie lap 27-37) 0 ; 0 ; 0 ; 0 ; 0 ; 80 ; pitstop group 2 %by Noog - Grand Prix 4

In that case, I'll throw one into the mix, with a track that is stunningly original, really well done and which can be extremely captivating and even hilarious under the right circumstances: Laputa. It's a fictional track with a huge tower that you have to drive up in a long, long, corkscrew (which has a strong tendency to make you feel sick and/or very bored) and later it has anby Noog - Grand Prix 4
