Hi,
in my setup of gp2 the driver numbers are different than those used
in the original setup - so now my drivers don't match up with the right
helmets. What utility can i use to change the helmets around? How do i
go about changing the current helmet.jam file?? What's the most easiest
way. I can't download one of the existing helmet files because they
don't correspond to my driver lineup.
Hope you can help.

1) You need to get hold of a *.jam to *.bmp convertor program, eg:-
jamman.zip or gp2ed.zip, both available from the www.
2) Convert the helmet.jam file to a *.bmp file.
3) Use a graphics program, (eg:- windows paintbrush, or paint shop pro),
to move the helmet you want to the position you want, (eg:- the top left
helmet is the no' one driver, default is michael schumakers helmet)
So for the1997 season you want Damon Hills helmet at the top left spot.
4) Make sure you move the whole rectangle that makes up the helmet
graphic, Do not go over the green areas, or overlap the graphics.
5) If you change the graphics, (eg:- drawing your own helmet designs),
take note of the above, eg:- no overlapping and dont draw on the green
areas.
6) Convert the new *.bmp file back to the helmet.jam, (keeping a backup
of the old one just in case!!!!!)
7) Finished, away you go with your helmets matching your drivers, beware,
its very time consuming and fiddly!!!!!!

Well, you could get GP2JAM by Trevor Kellaway. Once you have converted
the helmets jam file in to a bitmap you can just use copy and paste
commands in any decent paint program and swap the helmets manually!
