GP3 2001Update Question

I downloaded the 2001 update for GP3 from www.grandprix-3.de, and installed it successfully. However, the driver teams are still from 1999, and the new tracks (ie- Sepang and Indy) aren't installed. Obviously, there must be an extra step that I need to take to bring this update up-to-date, so to speak. I'm not familiar with jam files, etc, so I could use some detailed instructions on what I need to do. Any help would be appreciated. P.S.: My newsreader has been flaky as of late, so I would appreciate if any response be copied to my e-mail address ([email hidden]). Thanks. -- Bert

you need to start GPxPatch on the startup tab, enable GPxTrack then, on the GPxTrack tab... make sure the path for the track set is ..GP3\gpxdata\tracks.set KK

Ok I went to the site, cant read German and could not find the 2001 update for GP3 from www.grandprix-3.de . I went to the download page too & did not find it there either.Can anyone please direct and help me with where it is? Tia.. Thom_j. | "BRH" <[email hidden]> wrote in messagenews:[email hidden]...

Oops sorry.. (Thanx Anthony for the post!} I found it via this header & info instead: Subject Re: GP3 2000? Well I heard May, but who knows. I just downloaded GP3Update 2001 from http://www.grand-prix-3.de/gp3update2001.htm . Unless there's a major improvement that the GP3 2000 update offers, I see no reason to buy it. I'll wait and see what it looks like when it's released.

KK, Thanks for the reply. I followed your advice exactly. However, I still don't get the "new" tracks or teams. I do get the added onscreen info during Qualifying, however. Do you have any other ideas on what I'm doing wrong? It's probably something simple and obvious, but I can't figure it out. Thanks. Bert Kasper Kowalski wrote:

Thanks again for your help, Kasper. I had most of the files in the wrong directories. But, I have it straightemed out now, and it's like a whole new game. Thanks! Kasper Kowalski wrote:
