WC/F1GP question

I have version 1.05 of WC/F1GP. To avoid the hassle of searching trough the manual each time I want to play, I downloaded and tried F1gpcrk.zip. I can't get it to work. Does it only work on ver 1.04? If so is the a pass word elimanator for ver 1.05? Thanx, Nathan

Could I get a password eliminator too? I had one and it made the password ask for page 548 paragragh 345....etc. You see the problem here.....and yes, 'monza' didn't work. Also, what is the difference between ver1.04 and ver1.05. I noticed no difference in grip (i.e. the first two turns at Portugal didn't produce huge oversteer compared to ver1.04 with the same setup..64/40?) My version (1.04) has modem capabilities...I purchased it only 4 months ago. What the update did do was change the colors of the cars. Any answers are greatly appreciated by either posting or email. Thanks in advance, Scott K. p.s. Sorry for replying with another question.

Huh????? Why not instead spend under 5 minutes ftp'ing and installing the crack? Since when was 'fetching cracks' such a big pain?? No 'slow FTP connection' excuses, since there's that good F1GP site located in the UK.

I find the best thing to do is keep a list of the passwords when you look them up, and then use the list. You only need about thirty or so to get at least one from your list out of three chances (just guess `the' if you don't have the one asked for on your list). This way you don't need to worry about joystick conflicts, fetching cracks, or binary editing. Of course this assumes you have the manual! -- LoR 2.3.IX: He began to pull down a bit more of the walls, in a leisurely sort of way, just to amuse himself.

This is what I do. My list is almost complete and contains about 100 entries, sorted by page. German version, but Page, Paragraph and Word are the same in every language, so the words can be looked up. The less you patch, the better it works. (just a general opinion) ---- Volker Busche

>Well, why re-invent the wheel. The manual already has all the words you >need and you don't have to do any work like writing anything down. I think if we refer to the original question, this will make more sense - How do we play the game without having to dig up the manual every time? I appreciate the replys from everyone, including those that say write down all the usual passwords but, I was hoping to find a code that worked. In other words, I went to the ftp site and downloaded a crack and it's the same one I have been having trouble with! Do I need to have version 1.05 of F1GP to get it to work? Which brings up my next question...what is the difference between v 1.04 and 1.05? I have 1.04 and I got the new version via the Web. The only difference I see is in the "About World Circuit" screen where it says v1.05 instead of v1.04. The car seems to handle the same....i.e. no HUGE oversteer in the first to corners of Portugal (as was the test I read about on the web). I got the game this past June so why wouldn't I have bought the most recent version? It has modem capabilities, the only difference is the v1.04 in the "About..." screen. Any help? Scott p.s. also still looking for a good crack code or solutions to my above problem with said crack...(f1gpcrk.exe from ftp.uwp.edu)
