You do have a point, but then again do you race in F1 so where's the point? lol I can see what ya mean though. Another idea I had would be to have a free for all hotlap competition over 17 races instead. Anyone can race but points are awarded (in the same system above) so if you want to win the overall championship you would have to set a hotlap for every track really.

Okay then It'll just be team VIPER though since its kinda like a GP2 series with all the same engines and carshape (which is the only possible option with carshapes when it comes to GP3, lol). Many thanks and if theres anyone else out there... -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Okay then. Which team are you joining and do you have someone else that will be in the team aswell? (i noticed you said helmets )by Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Basically yeah thats it. The race is run on auto and the results posted on a site i might make (if this has enough interest) so the only involvement you have is to download the save and watch the race (unless you feel like painting your own skins that is).by Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hi there I've recently installed GP3-2000 onto a new PC and have a bit of spare time on my hands and I was thinking of starting a championship that includes all of you lovely people on here lol. Like i said though, its just a thought and I'm not sure if i should go ahead with this yet so I am wondering who is interested and who would like to be involved . Here is a brief explanation:by Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hi there I was just wondering if anybody knows where I can find a large picture of a helmet (EDIT: preferrably with hans buckle and radio/drinks wires...basically as much detail as possible, lol) from side on or if anybody has one to post? I've had a look on google but they arent of any use I remember someone posting one of the new doornbos helmet on here but i cant seem to find it. Aby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
It actually works? lol, yay cool. cqan ya post me a screenie please? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
nah i've tried it with both steering help on AND off, and the problem only worsens when i turn it off (which makes no sense because i should be going slower after spinning off on the corner before the straight, lol) -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Could you mail them to me please? I dont think I've heard of a visor add on before and the idea interests me . I'll have a look at editing them. -Fincent btw, i PM'd u with my email addyby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hey there Because I'm curious I was interested to see if anybody out there has their own custom carshapes that they've designed and use. They've always interested me n I like seein the new desgins that the teams bring out at the start of the season so I thought I'd post a thread here where everybody can put pictures of their own carshapes n stuff . Non F1 carshapes are welcby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Niche! thats a cool helmet....and is it just me who thinks it looks like friesachers? btw, whenever i make helmets they never seem to actually look flourescent even tho i use fourescent colours, lol, howdya get em like that? -fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Which visor add ons are you reffering to? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
try putting all the wing vertices to the exact same coordinates? i've never tried it myself but its just an idea that MIGHT work good luck and let me know how it goes.by Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hey there I've just recently installed gp3-2000 onto a new computer that has a joystick but I'm having a handling problem. Whenever I build up speed and am nearing the end of a straight the car doesnt want to go in a stright line, instead it either wants to go left or right...but not inbetween and as ya prolly know, the slightest sudden movement can spin you off at high speed.

Hey there people I've played all the games in the current series (the original f1gp, gp2, gp3 and gp3-2000) and the other day i got myself gp4 from the local games shop. Because I'm new to this and would like to get up to speed (no pun intended, ha ha) as soon as i can then what downloads do you reccomend I have for my game? If possible i would also like to know where i can get a fulby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Dont talk to me about OpenGL, lol, I spent days trying to fix an OpenGL problem with medal of honour allied assault a few weeks back! lol, I know these are seperate games like but my problem solver was a download of the newest drivers for my graphiocs card. I reccomend the same ...its worth a try anyways, this is if your computer starts up again, lol. -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I wonder what background the pc might not agree with....lol, do you have any proxy settings Redsam? :P jk jk -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I noticed this happening when I first installed GP3-2000...I noticed a massive slowdown...I eventually found out the prblem and it was that the sound settings were on full and my rather modest pc (pent II 500mhz) couldnt handle all the different sounds at once. I checked "original gp3 sound" and everything returned to normal. Hope this helps -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Heya there, I've mailed it to those whove asked I just hope its gone to the right addy, lol (I got them off your profiles). Btw, heres a few ingame shots of my carshape: -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I use that method sometimes but like you say, its buggy (patches of texture missing) and its software only . I know that it is possible to do it already with careditor but the results arent very good really...I'd be willing to spend a lot of time in a modelling program fixing bugs and getting HW txtures working but I need to know if you guys think its actually possible.by Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I've been thinking about it for a while and thought I'd be best of asking on here n stuff so here goes...Basically, it came to me in the shower one day (as most good ideas usually do) and I had this idea of using a 3d modelling program (eg. ZModeler) to display cars and get renders and stuff like its currently done for gp4. Does anyone reckon its a possibility or just another scrunchedby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Heya there I've been busy in the gp3 car editor the last few days and I've created this as my own fictional carshape. I've tried to get the most out of the game with things such as: - New aero (ie. scooped wing and sqaure sidepods) with minimal texture distortion - Trying out a new front suspension design - Removing some of those annoying "bleed-througby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Is it just me or are there 4 leyton house cars in that last shot? lol I do use PSP quite frequently but I dont know of any effects that have the same effect as the one in kaid's post...I've been after an effect like that for ages and dont know which one it is, lolby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
whoa great shots! i've tried some but they've failed miserably and never look real, lol, what Program/Effect do you use to make it so that the car in view is in focus but the background is out of focus? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Heya its alright Iceman paul no offense taken I've tried before but whenever I go hi res all of my helmets look disjointed and blurred and everything...thats even before I put them into the game, lol. One of the good things about GP3 is that when you scale your helmet down you dont see any of the single pixel imperfections. However with GP4 (because of the high resultion textures) they allby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
whoa these are amazing, lol, I think even adrian newy would be taken back :D.by Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Heya there Would it be possible for someone to make some gp4 helmets for me aswell? I've already made quite a few in GP3 but have never been able to get them as goof quality for GP4 (for somereason all my attempts using higher resolutions look terrible, lol). I'll post my hi-res versions and it doesnt really matter if you get them spot on or use exactly the same sponsors (although itby Fincent - Grand Prix 4

To answer all of your questions: - I am using identical size, name and location jams in both the HW and SW folders. - I have pointed the .set file by manually txt editing it so that its loading the right files. - I've tried using the convert feature of the Jam editor but it messes up the jam (alters the borders n stuff) and it wont save. - I have however notby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
