Hi, I've now made a new version of my old F1GP/GP2 damage editor to make it work with GP3. Part of the readme below. Cheers, /Martin http://home.bip.net/martin/ ***NOTE*** You must have the "NoCD-patch" for GP3 for this program to work! This is my old GP Damage Editor (for F1GP/World Circuit and Grand Prix 2) updated to work on Grand Prix 3. This editor/patch allows you to edit how easily cars get damaged in the game. The things you can edit are how easily you: *are out of the race when hitting a wall *are out of the race when hitting another car I have not yet tried to find how to change the chances of damaging wings and wheels. These options were included in the old GPDamed and GP2Damed but they are not here yet, sorry...

Other people have scanned it and they are clean. PC-Cillin reports the viruses though. I had this happen once before with F-Prot and some file I downloaded and it turned out it was a false report. Can't always trust these virus scanners. Sorry for any false alerts. -- Nos

Ok, that makes sense. Most of the viruses I run across are word macro viruses. So, it's not as big a deal if I set it to clean also.

Well, I guess we can't have everything... Although, I don't remember ever seeing a fals positive on any scanners I've run. Did it say it cleaned the virus, or just that it detected it?
