TO THE GP2 PEOPLE

Can anyone make a util allowing all cars to have high noses. I doubt it but if anyone whos reading this know much about programming and all that please try to make a util making all cars to have high noses. IT WILL BRING US A STEP CLOSER TO HAVING THE ULTIMATE(sort of) F1 SIMULATION!

I agree please fix the cars to all high noses. I just downloaded the 96 carset and was happy with the high nosed williams, but all the other cars were low nosed. Including the ferrari which changed at mid season. Thanks in advance James Dean Cory D.C.

Would someone give me a hand? Everytime i try to play GP2 i have to re-calibrate my Thrustmaster T2. I have loaded the controls file from the c.d. and it worked fine the first time. I then exited the game and chose to SAVE settings upon exit. Why is it this is happening? I end up having to play around with it for a while before i get it calibrated again. This is what happens when i try to callibrate. When it say's turn joy a(or whatever) to full left and press fire sometimes the little ball dart's to the right and not left.After i finnaly get it callibrated and start the game the next time it'll do the same thing but only this time it might dart left when it's supposed to go right. ???????????????????? I'm lost , have no clue, I've tried to reinstall the game and that didn't work. Any idea's? Thanks

Mine does the same thing (Gravis Joystick). I've chalked it up to a crappy game port card though. I have to calibrate every time, and sometimes it goes left...left ...bang right. When this happens, I have to exit the game, and restart it, then recalibrate. So, its either my crappy game port, or perhaps because it isn't 'brand' name (sounblaster etc) the game doesn't initialize it correctly. It is most annoying.

Oh c'mon David, You've said your piece, don't turn every thread into your personal crusade :) Cheers!

Hi, From the Control, Advanced menu.....select 'CONTROL' option......... (not joystick). I think you can load T2.con or GP500.con from the CD-ROM, calibrate your wheel/pedals....then save the calibrated file to the GPSAVES dir. This file should be called the next time you load GP2 Hope this helps Dave Hawnt (UK)

I had a horrible time with T2 calibration when I first installed GP2. Turned out to be that GP2 diagnosed my sound card as an SB 16 whereas it really preferred to be treated as an SB Pro. Once I redefined the sound card in the setup program, the T2 worked great. If the sound card or joystick gives trouble, it seems to be safe to take the settings for a lower level of sound card than you really have, whereas telling the game you have a higher level is asking for trouble.
