Gp2 and multi-session
Re: Gp2 and multi-session
Sorry; I, at least, don't have.
Re: Gp2 and multi-session
Hey Minardi do you have and use Track Editor?
The winner ain't the one with the fastest car, it's the one who refuses to lose.
Re: Gp2 and multi-session
I've noticed also that there is a fix for this in Grand Prix 3. If I go through the GPXPatch and set "Player car performance team dependent" to Power and Grip under the GPXSet tab then all the cars stay at their horsepower value. Would it maybe be possible to mimic this for Grand Prix 2 in order to fix the issue?minardi wrote: ↑28.02.2018, 23:04Hello everyone. I've been playing Grand Prix 2 for a long time. However, I tend to play pretty casually and like to drive as everyone in the field but due to this issue it takes a lot of fun out of using older seasons in which the cars are under powered as after each turn in a car it rockets away and basically every race finishes in qualifying order. I was wondering if by any chance someone knows if it would be possible to fix this issue.
Re: Gp2 and multi-session
You have that option in GP2Edit, but this won't fix it in GP2, it will just make it worse. It has always been like that in GP3 too, but recent developments in GPxPatch fixed it. Iirc your best bet is changing the default engine power value to match the average value from the cars, but I'm not sure it would work correctly.

Re: Gp2 and multi-session
I tried doing this but it does not seem to make any difference unfortunately. I was hoping to do some kind of a recreation of F1 history starting in 1950 and play with the whole field but with the way this works it makes things very difficult with the extreme difference in speed depending on who I have and have not taken a turn withrremedio wrote: ↑15.06.2018, 20:44You have that option in GP2Edit, but this won't fix it in GP2, it will just make it worse.

Re: Gp2 and multi-session
I'm not sure if anyone is interested but with help from Rene Smit I have been able to solve this issue and keep AI and human cars with the same horsepower and grip values throughout the entire race when playing as more than one car. However, I'm not really good at writing programs and can only fix the issue using a hex editor. In order to correct the issue you would have to change the following values in GP2.exe circled in the screenshot to 90 which start at 000ABD9E, 000ABDB1, 000ABE95, and 000ABEAC.
When you are done it should look like this
As always when making changes like this, you should backup the file beforehand. Also, if anyone wants to make a program that can make these changes please feel free to do so.

great! thanks =D> =D>
Re: Gp2 and multi-session
That's amazing!
I don't have my tools installed here and I'm really busy these days so I don't want to spend time installing them but if no better option appears, I could create an excel macro or a vbs script that makes this switch.

Re: Gp2 and multi-session
Rene Schmidt is a god. Imagine what would be possible if he was putting constant development into GP2? We can only dream...
Re: Gp2 and multi-session
I finally tested this and it is amazing! Thank you very much for not giving up on this, minardi!
I created a .jar file that can patch/unpatch the game with this fix. It requires java, please let me know if this is a problem.
