As promised, here are those screenies i told you i'd get . Let me know what you think so far. Keep in mind that this is still just a basic idea -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
I can see a flaw in the system straght away...what if theres more then 20 cars on the grid? lol, you never know with this mystery honda outfit. anyways, if someone could somehow incorporate this into the game somehow then it would be magnificent . -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
@ Mr Pibb : This program would allow the addition of extra races. Basically i'm thinkin of making it so that you can import as many races as you want and the code will just accumulate points from all of the imported races and work out the championships and various stats from there . @ GLD : Thanks, lol, i'll need all the testing help I can get. It might require you write a few thingsby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Heya there, after a few days getting my planning and stuff done I've started to create the bare bones of the program in Microcost Visual Studio. If you want then I can post screenies for you of what I'm thinking of putting into it and also how its looking so far . I'm thinking of leaning towards a gp3 orientated program though as I have alot more experience in it instead of GP4 butby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
i just searched for the renault f1 site and cant find the file you're talking about. could you give us a lil bit more detail, as in a link or something, that we can get to? Many Thanksby Fincent - F1
also, maybe you could try ticking the "use default car bhp" or something in gpx patch? *loads gpxpatch and has a look* yup, its under gpxset and theres a box called "car power team dependant". try this because then you should have the same power as the other guys and shouldnt be able to run away -Finby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
i think i may have solved it...if you use gpxpatch then disable the track and the sound checkbox before starting the game. i just did (no idea why, lol) and everything seems to be working as normal! Hope this helps -Finby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
If only it was that easy, lol, i think everyone has dreamt of doing that. But seriously though, if anybody want to help me out then go for it all you need to do is have your say on what you would want a season manager to incorporate really. If not, lol, then i'll have to find something else to use for my project...but I know that this program could get me a rlly good grade so I hope i dontby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Heya there Recently I've noticed that gp3-2000 is taking a long time to load its tracks (5+ minutes)! However, once a track has been loaded, if you load it again to have another race on the same track then it will take normal time (3-5 seconds). I am very confused by this and it is a bit annoying because if i want to race on a track for the first time on every startup then I have to waitby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hello there I am an A2 Computing student at Widnes 6th form college and I've decided to incorporate the gpx series into my coursework project by writing a program for gp3/gp4. The best idea that I can think of is to make a results manager that would import the txt files from gp3/gp4, process them to calcuate points and statistics, automatically update profiles and (if i have enough time tby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Does this pit and lap editor work with gp3-2000? I've been scouring the net for such a program since i started editing but have had no luck! lol Many thanks -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Heya there I've just tried to download gp4genius (so i can unlock cars and helmets for use in zmodeler) but its a rar file! As I dont have winrar on my pc and my dad doesnt let me install new software on this pc i'm kinda stuck, lol...So if somebody could do me a big big favour and send me a zipped version of gp4genius to daniel.finby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Hi there I was wondering if it was possible to convert gp3 helmets to gp4 helmets? i build my gp3 helmets in large files (500% original size, dunno pixels tho) and in layers too si i'm just asking if it would be possible for me to use the original gp3 design and advert layers and then use them to make a gp4 helmet or would i have to edit them and stuff to fit into gp4? as you can imagineby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
You go to the graphics setup and go into advanced. Near the bottom there should be a box labelled somethning like "Hardware Mode (reduced texture detail)". Make sure this box is highlighted and you should now be in the world of full colour graphics...if you have a good enough graphics card that is, lol. -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Okay this might seem like a crazy idea but tell me what you think. You have one version on one side of the car and you have the other version on the other side. When it comes to mapping the numbers you just swap them round so the name on one side is shown on the other. In a way, the version you DO want is being placed over the version you DONT want. Does this make sense to anyone? lol -Finceby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hey there Today I've been designing some helmets...nothing new that I've not done before. I load GP3-2000 and for some reason, the tracks decide to take at least 5 minutes to load. So i think "cant be bothered with this" and I restart my computer...but the same happens again. So then I think "ah, might aswell design some more stuff"...which is what I do. I go backby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hi there I've recently downloaded the 2005 charshape that you can find on this site but there is 1 problem. My winrar doesnt appear to be working . I've tried many things like changing with settings but when i load it, it just crashes and i have to CTRL ALT DEL it. So i post this to ask if someebody could kindly send it as a zip file or something to my e-mail address at "daniel.by Fincent - Grand Prix 3
To be honest it's just an idea at the moment and it will be developed into whatever people want (as long as its not too much effort, lol). Some people think that a simulated season would just be naff and not much point to it so i proposed the hotlap idea instead. But yeah, you're right it is for gp3-2000 . Hope this helps -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3

Thanks for the comments guys . I used a Vegas movie maker (cant remember the exact name of since i've not used it for months but it had an orange logo, lol) and saved it as a "wmv" movie. The quality you get on those is amazing and they're quite small file size too. I tried fraps on my pc but it couldnt handle it and I was getting a constant PO of like 500%! lol, so i had to rby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hey there This is still just an idea though. I still need to finalise stuff and everything. The basic idea is that we have an 11 team carset. Then, each of the drivers gets a copy of the carset when its finished and they drive as themselves in a free practice session. When they are happy with the lap, they send the file to me (using the "save lap" feature in the telemetry menu n stufby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Maybe he was thinking..."is that really the person thats replacing barichello next year?" lol.by Fincent - F1
Yeah, i hate the way he does the starts...I mean he can see that the lights havent even some on yet and he says "And the *insert country here* race is..." lol...maybe charlie whiting had live commentary feed to rub it in by leaving the lights on for as long as possible :P. To be honest though, I dont mind James Allen for the vast majority of the races. I've never watched a fullby Fincent - F1
Breaking news from the ITV website: Ferrari has confirmed that Sauber driver Felipe Massa will join Michael Schumacher in its 2006 line-up and has announced that Rubens Barrichello will leave the team at the end of the year. Following intense speculation over the weekend, Ferrari has taken up an option on Massa that dates back to 2001. "I am very happy and proud to be racing withby Fincent - F1
I think it would be nice if Alonso/Kimi win the title this year and Mika return and Villeneuve also keep a seat at BMW. Then there would be FOUR champions on the grid! lol, how cool would that be? In 99 there was Schuey, Hill, Villeneuve and Hakkinen and in 91 there was Senna, Mansell, Piquet and Prost but F1 has changed so much since then. -Fincentby Fincent - F1
Then one only has to wonder who will partner Massa when Schuey retires....does anyone remember what happened to benetton when schumacher left? I can see the same happening with ferrari, and them having a few bad years going through most drivers on the grid until they stumble across a hot upcoming talent (like benneton/renault did with alonso) and get back to winning. lol, history repeats itself..by Fincent - F1
I could see albers getting a drive for next year, possibly in the BMW seat. Before you ask, no i'm not dutch...i just think he's put in some good drives this year, going over a second faster than his team mate and the jordans at times. As for ferrari...well, lol, rubens is out and they're going to need someone with obvious talent to fill the gap although not too much to threatenby Fincent - F1
Hey there A few months ago when i finished making my fictional carset I had quite a bit of time on my hands...so I thought I'd make a movie for it (why not? lol). It's just under a minute long and has clips from the game and various commentary and stuff. Have a look if ya want and tell me what ya think . Many Thanks -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I have XP SP2 aswell and I always used to encounter game crashes when I calibrated the graphics in the game. I've found that if you dont calibrate them and set them up manually then the game shouldnt crash. I did that and its worked perfectly since and my PO only just goes over 100 at the first lap when all the cars are on screen *grumbles* lol Hope this helps -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
