Its stupid having a tobacco ban in some countries and not in others. It should be one way or the other. I am a Ferrari fan but I don't go and buy Marlboros everytime I see the cars on the tv. In the uk they have to have non-tobacco liveries, but what about when we watch races from other countries. We are still seeing the same tobacco adverts.by Muks_C - F1
If you get bored being just 1 driver in a particular race, you can choose as many as you want and you change between them and race for a few minutes as each driver. What I like to do is pick 3 or 4 drivers from different teams, start from the back of the grid and try to get my 'team' through the field.by Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Are Bernie and Andy entering the 'Deirdre from Coronation Street biggest glasses lookalike' competition? I think Andy would win!by Muks_C - F1
Alonso should have dummied Michael by starting to go right then switching to the left. Michael would have gone right to block, but if Alonso had gone to the left after the dummy, Michael would have been obliged to stay to the right. Alonso should have known that Michael (or any driver) would block them on the inside, so he should have dummied. But its different when you are travelling so fast andby Muks_C - F1
Yes kappie, in general this is how you should go about getting cars/shapes. But sometimes people make textures and tell you which carshape it will work with, if they were not involved in producing the original set.by Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Great race, entertainment all the way through. I also feared the worst when we went to an ad break, the consequences could have been horrific. Why is there a huge 'Marlboro F1' advertisement on the track (as seen in the above picture)? The teams aren't allowed to run with tobacco liveries, yet the track itself has them. Weird.by Muks_C - F1
I have a screenshot of the problem if anyone wants me to email it to them, or if someone could host it and show it here?by Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Thank you SchimmyMike, I have downloaded it now.by Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Could somebody please email carset creator 4 to me because I also can't get onto the site? Please send it to Muks_C@yahoo.com if it is bigger than 1mb, because hotmail won't accept it. Thanks in advance.by Muks_C - Grand Prix 4

regarding Johnny Herbert, I wonder if he still does that when he's going to Sainsburys!by Muks_C - F1
Hello guys. I am using GPxPatch and during a race or practice session, when I press K to get the different overlays like tv-style, all the words are messed up. The drivers and teams names are made up of some letters, but also with characters like %$*& etc. All the numbers work fine when showing gaps between the drivers, but the words don't appear correctly. I have re-installed GP4 and Gby Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Finally DC has admitted he was wrong in Spa '98. Well done, it only took you 5 years.by Muks_C - F1
Yeah the fuel guy broke DC's winglet from the left side of his car, so DC said he was gonna give him a bollocking, then ITV cut away pretty sharpish from the DC interview!by Muks_C - F1
Yeah it happened here in the North West too. When it came back briefly it was in widescreen too, and looked weird. Then they took the mick and went for more adverts after we already had some!by Muks_C - F1
In response to Marcl, most teams will have fairly advanced designs on their '04 cars by now, but probably not built yet. So Mclaren will undoubtedly have a good advantage at this moment in time. I remember Ross Brawn I think, saying they had the designs for the F2003-GA already mostly done before the launch of the F2002. They, and most teams are working a whole year in advance, amazing.by Muks_C - F1
I also want to turn down the reflections. Before I started messing with the f1graphics.cfg file, I turned the reflections off ion the advanced menu, but they were still there. Does anyone know exactly which line in the f1graphics file to alter? Thanks in advanceby Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
The situation with Raikkonen and Schumacher in France 2002 is a bit different though, because the yellow flag was out for the retired Toyota, and Schumacher did not make a move to pass Kimi, he just happened to go past him because Kimi was not even on the track, having slid on the oil. Had Schumacher purposefully made a passing move on Kimi into the hairpin, when yellow flags were out then he wouby Muks_C - F1
Whats the actual difference between the Radeon 9500 and the Radeon 9500 Pro? Is it worth getting the Pro version over the standard or not?by Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
I subscribed in late 2001, when there was an offer for that seasons M Schumacher DVAG sponsors cap. It took about 6 weeks to arrive, and when it did it was the wrong cap. It was the cap that said "2000 World Champion", which I already had because I bought it after Michael became World Champion. I e-mailed Haymarket and told them they sent the wrong cap, but they said there was nothing tby Muks_C - F1
Did anyone else think it was a bad idea (although funny) for Martin Brundle to chat with Ozzy on the grid walk? We could see it a mile off that he would probably swear. At least he didn't say the F word!by Muks_C - F1
Hello. I changed the audio settings as sugested and it really improved the game on my sisters pc. I set both slider bars to their minimum position, and then went straight to a race, and it worked fine. The sound was awful though, as expected because of the new settings. Would the solution to this new problem be a better sound card? What do you think of the motherboard/processor deal at Maplin?by Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Hello again. I will mess around with the sound settings on my sisters pc to see if it can be imporved. Today I went to maplin Electronics and they gave me some suggestions. They have a deal on at the moment: ASRock K7S8X Motherboard with 3 DDR slots, plus Athlon XP 2400+ processor, and the cooler, all for £180, saving £125 if bought separately. They have 256mb Ram for about £60, so I would getby Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
No problem mate. The best thing to do is to 'fix black transparency' every time you load a new car into a jam file. That way you save yourself having to go back later and fix it.by Muks_C - Grand Prix 3
Thanks Rickm550. I found it very strange that I could only get a decent play on GP4 on my sisters pc when I was by myself in practice, and with a lot of the features turned off, and with the options in the advanced menu on medium and high settings. It looked great during the practise, really smooth and flowing, with good textures, but slowed down so much when I did a race. Do you know what couldby Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Rickm550, do you have any ideas as to why I could not get decent graphics with a P4 2.4GHz processor and Radeon 7500 graphics card with 256 mb RAM? Most poeple have suggested a Radeon 9700 in this topic, so should the 7500 in my sisters pc be better than I could get it, or is there a big difference between the 7500 and 9700? It was terribly slow with medium and high graphics settings, and with thby Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
Yeah I messed with all the graphics options inside the game, but still nothing. My graphics card is probably only an 8 or 16 mb card so I am not surprised. However I have tried it out on my sisters pc, P4 2.4GHz, 256MB RAM, Radeon 7500 graphics card. I messed with all the graphics settings and I could get everything on medium or high settings and play it comfortably with a decent frame rate, inby Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
To explain gear ratios: Basically you need to adjust ALL the gear ratios slightly until you get a basic set of ratios that make the gear shifts sound normal, and not too short or too long. Then, if the track is Monza for example, adjust the 3 top gears so you get your top speed in top gear down the longest straight, with 3 or 4 of the LED revs lights lit up. Make the top gear slightly longer soby Muks_C - Grand Prix 3
Using JamTool, open the jam which has the car that has transparent parts. Then on the menu bar where you can see icons, click on the icon that looks like a sort of paintbrush. If you hover your mouse over this icon it should say "Fix Black Transparency". Once you have clicked this icon, save the jam, and now any transparent parts should be black. Hope this helps.by Muks_C - Grand Prix 3
GP4 got delivered to my house this morning, and as suspected, its doesn't work on my pc. Basically the screen is completely without colour, and I can see all the framework that makes up all the structures, all filled with black. The only thing that colour was the external view of the top of the drivers' helmet. I'll try and get at least 512 mb ram, and hopefully a 128mb graphics cby Muks_C - Grand Prix 4
