GT Racing 2002.lnk GTRacing2002.exe GTRun.exe It seems that if I once have chosen the Championship, I can't get back to choose a single race...(need some parctice, u know..:) ) Which of the files to choose? -- Venlig hilsen / Best regards Thore Sorensen - DK-2700 Bronshoj (Z = spamfilter)

The first file you mention is a shortcut to the second. Running the shortcut is the "correct" way, not sure what will happen if you try to run the other two. "Thore" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

> GT Racing 2002.lnk > GTRacing2002.exe > GTRun.exe Running either of the first two takes you to the pre-game menu where you can choose which cars you want to run - GT/NGT/24hr, control & player profile. I'm not exactly sure if this menu is 100% necessary. Running GTRun.exe bypasses this and takes you straight into the game. I suspect running GTRun.exe is the same as running... "F1_2002.exe config=GTR2002config.ini"

GT Racing 2002.lnk is just a link to GTRacing2002.exe. GTRacing2002.exe is the pre-game menu allowing you select the difference classes, and championship mode. GTRun.exe actually fires up the game. It basically syncs up the VIDEOMODE and VIDEOGUID values from the original F1 config.ini to the GTR2002config.ini. It plays then a video clip, then it launches "f1_2002.exe config=GTR2002config.ini" I don't really run GTRacing2002.exe since I don't do Championship mode. What I do is run GTRacing2002.exe once and select the "NGT/GT class" and then just run GTRun.exe from then on. Since all cars will be available in the game now, I don't have to run GTRacing2002.exe in the future. Think of GTRacing2002.exe as just a setup tool to change class, change control sets or run championship mode. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm
