rec.autos.simulators

I downloaded a crack hint for F1GP called f1gp.unp.  This just gave a list
of bytes to search for and change in gp.exe - to set the password to Monza.

This works fine until I try to calibrate the joystick - the entire range
detected by f1gp is 0000 to 0001; not a useful sensitivity.  Back to
the manual.

Any ideas why this effect is seen?  I have v1.05 by the way.

I believe the list of bytes to change is slightly different for different versions
- you could have changed the wrong ones.

After a lil' bit of snooping around, I managed to 'monza' my unpacked GP.EXE.
Unpacked, because my gp-editor requires an unpacked gp.exe.

Anyway, I do not have similar difficulties with joystick calibration.
Everything runs as smooth as silk, just enter monza for password and go...

Where could I find such a crack?  I love to play at lunch time, but my boss
doesn't like me having the manual around.  Thanks!

I've not had any replies about other sources.

the crack there don't give any problems with your joystick

I used f1gp_all.txt - it lists the crack for all versions of the game.
I hope F1GPv2 doesn't contain any of this braindeath.

There are two or three txt files ( f1gp*.txt ) which describe how to 'monza'
different versions of the game.

I have also a similar txt file, whose instructions gave me unlimited Q-tyres.

I never tried that one. You _did_ copy GP.EXE somewhere else first in
case it went wrong, no?  Perhaps the crack program should've mentioned
that...
