GRANDPRIX 3 The Patch Version 1.13 adds the following gameplay enhancements, and makes several other fixes: Improved Advanced Controls interface. Added support for controller fire buttons 1 to 16. Added support for up to 6 axes per controller. Menus can be controlled with the accelerator, brake, and steering when in "Control driven calibration" mode. Implemented an option to reverse the direction of force-feedback where the steering was pulling left on some older wheels. Implemented a new control device named "Pit signal device" in the advanced control menu. This allows the fire buttons on controllers to be used to activate or cancel the pit signal (instead of the RETURN key). The grip and bumpiness corrected on grass alongside kerbs. The grass is modelled correctly for bumps and grip within the pitlane. Greatly improved wet weather tyre changing AI and precipitation modelling . Graphics calibration system prediction accuracy improved. Black flags removed from the outside of overrun kerbs Cars more sensitive to fence collision damage. Wing repair time affects pit-stop time. -- don New GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker.co.uk/gpl/bapom/ You have the right to remain silent.

Well, it comes up with the message... "Grand Prix 3 Patch version 1.13 by Hasbro Interactive" It installed OK. It created a GP3.com file of size 344 KB. I decrypted it and that *seemed* to work as it created a file of size 8.42 MB. However, the GP3Video patch does not work as it refuses to recognise the 8.42MB as a valid decrypted file. The Joystick calibration is changed now and it seems to be an improvement. I don't know what else the patch does... -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu E-mail : ksmatharu # ieee . org [without the spaces and where #=@] Website: http://www.matharu.demon.co.uk/ t.i.n.s.t.a.a.f.l.

According to Hasbro, Jan : Improved Advanced Controls interface. Added support for controller fire buttons 1 to 16. Added support for up to 6 axes per controller. Menus can be controlled with the accelerator, brake, and steering when in "Control driven calibration" mode. Implemented an option to reverse the direction of force-feedback where the steering was pulling left on some older wheels. Implemented a new control device named "Pit signal device" in the advanced control menu. This allows the fire buttons on controllers to be used to activate or cancel the pit signal (instead of the RETURN key). The grip and bumpiness corrected on grass alongside kerbs. The grass is modelled correctly for bumps and grip within the pitlane. Greatly improved wet weather tyre changing AI and precipitation modelling . Graphics calibration system prediction accuracy improved. Black flags removed from the outside of overrun kerbs Cars more sensitive to fence collision damage. Wing repair time affects pit-stop time.

I don't know Jan, I copied that line from the AlphaF1 site, in a previous message someone wrote that is was a beta patch, but then I read this 'official patch' message on the AlphaF1 site. I didn't have time to test the patch myself, but I read on some forums that it has some big disadvantages: track editors, new cars, track updates, etc, don't work anymore after installing the patch :((( Andre

Thanks guys... let me know what you think, if you comment positively I'll have to go out and buy it as I'm under heavy peer pressure from my fellow racers in the Top Gear off-line league (currently using MGPRS2). Cheers, Jan. =--- Jan Verschueren wrote... > such as? > > Jan. > =---
