F1GP - just got v1.5. Joystick is dead. HELP!

Hi fellow F1GP racers. In the hope of using all those fab editors and patches, I just upgraded to F1GP v1.5. It appears to work allright, except for one thing. When I choose to calibrate my stick (a CH-Flightstick), it starts up with the axis-values of 001-003. Normally they would start up between 200 and 300. When I try to move my stick, it hardly senses my movement, the values change maybe 1 or 2 counts. This is a ridiculous joystick-range, and of course the game rejects it. I then try the old version (1.0 I think), and the stick works as normal. PLEASE help me. I can imagine others having the same problems when they upgraded. E-mail preferred, but postings are ok. Thanks in advance for helping out a man in distress. -- Best regards, _/_/_/ _/_/_/ Christian Jahnsen, _/ _/ Technical University of Denmark, _/ _/ Lyngby, Denmark. _/ _/ _/ WWW-Homepage : [link lost in import: /:8080/~gc937079/]

I had the same problem. You probably use the European Version and the manual protection patch ?? The patch works only with the US-Version (World Circuit). Either you don't patch your gp.exe or use World Circuit. Busche

Just to muddy the waters, I've used the "Monza" crack on all three versions (Euro, Italian. US (WC)) without problems. I guess there's something more sinister going on...

The Monza crack works fine on all versions. It's another crack that disabled password checking completely that gave this 'problem'. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rene Smit AKA The SDI, Technical University Delft Faculty of Computer Science <A HREF="http://dutian.twi.tudelft.nl/~smit/sdihome.html">WWW</A>

Hi Paul, Where can I get the manual protection crack? Could you e-mail it to me? Thanks, Carlo van Leeuwen. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Name : Carlo van Leeuwen homepage: http://huizen.dds.nl/~carlo-/index.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
