GTR 2002 Patch Problem

Hi Again Experts: Ok, thanks to David Erb my fonts are small and GTR 2002, with no patches or add-ons, is working. Is there a recommended sequence for applying patches and add ons? When I ran the 1.2 patch it failed. The detail error message: CRC filed in RELOC GTR2002Seson\Vehicles\Automotive Racing Team\ Chrysler Viper GtS-R_TopA_2.bmp Unexpected end of archive. The error message was copied by hand, so it might have a typo. I went back and raced a Viper, looked at it in the replays, everything seems fine. I have cable modem, should I just download everything and try again? Thanks Larry

It sounds like the archive didn't extract a file properly. Just to double check, did you first create and drive a F1 driver, then also drive the first mod before atempting to use the v1.2 patch? For what it's worth, my .rar file with the 1.2 patch is 50.0mb large. or in bytes: 52,486,695 bytes with 52,494,336 bytes used. dave henrie

Thanks Dave: That might be the problem. After recovering from tape, I installed F1-2002 and then installed and ran GTR 2002 without driving F1-2002. Ok, small fonts, drive F1-2002 before installing GTR 2002. Anything else I should do to prepare for the installation of GTR 2002? Thanks Larry

But I had exactly the same error when I re-ran the patch. The patch file seems to have been corrupted. I downloaded it from Blackhole again, and it loaded fine. Where are the Vetts? I see sound files for them but not on the track or in the add-in cars from Blackhole. I have a P3/600, what graphics features are people turning down to get the frame rates up? Thanks Larry

That is the #2 most asked question on the Simbin Forums. Where are the Vettes. The answer? The Fia Gtr 2002 mod is based on the FIA GT season of 2002. There were no Vettes racing in that series. The only races the Pratt & Miller Yellow factory vettes race at are LeMans and the ALMS series which uses LeMans rules. I don't beleive the vettes are legal to race in the FIA series...they 'changed' the cars several years ago...they became wider and longer...more of a gtp prototype hiding under a chevy skin. So in their current state, the vettes are not homolgolated(sp?) for FIA racing. The SSM mod has the vettes and someone made a quick conversion of them to work with GTR, but they got so much flack about the cars they stopped supporting them. IF the SCP from RSDG.net has the gts cars, you'll probably see the vettes there too along with the LeMans 24h 2k2 mod. dave henrie

The group doing the Le Mans 2002 mod released versions of their C5R and Saleen adjusted to work with GTR2002. Can't remember the URL off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it's one of the racesimcentral.com sites. -jde
