LCDTool cockpits crash

[giannis1]

Hi,

I have a problem when trying to use custom
cockpits installed with LCDTool. The game
keeps crashing under Windows XP although
it runs normally with the original cockpit
and other cockpits not made with LCDTool.

The LCDTool cockpits work with DosBox
but my computer is too slow to handle the
emulation.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks.

hmm i do not know at all these tool please can you describe to me what it is.. as far as i am concerned i have installed on the cockpits provided from this site.. but let me ask you something more.. ARE YOU FROM GREECE??? YOUR USERNAME SEEMS A GREEK ONE

Yes I am from Greece! but I don't currently live in there unfortunately...

About my problem, for example I'm installing the "1986 Lotus - Paul Ludlow" cockpit
from this place

http://www.grandprix2.de/cockpits/f1tea ... team_2.htm

by using the LCDTool1.04 attached in the description of the cockpit.

GP2 keeps crashing on Windows XP when starting a race,
although it works with DOSBox. This crash occurs
with every cockpit installed with LCDTool.

On the other hand the game runs normally with other custom
cockpits (.cpd,.gp2, etc) on Windows XP.

Greeklish: Koufo!!! Den glitonete exei pantou folia!!

English: Thanks, it's a shame
that these cockpits made with LCDTool
don't seem to work on Windows Xp,
they have an astonishing amount of detail.

Greeklish: Koufo , pantou yparxei mia fwlia!!
(Esteila allo ena mynhma alla den to vlepo na exei anevei.)

English: Thanks, if anyone else knows how
to solve my problem (LCD Tool cockipts crash the game
on Windows XP) please let me know.

I had this same problem a few years ago and I don't remember exactly how I fixed it. But I think (not sure), after exporting the file to the game I would import the cockpit into GP2Edit and check GP2Edit's cockpit editor for weird values, like negative values for element positions.

Thanks for the response. I have been trying something like
this but didn't manage to fix the problem unfortunately. I will keep
experimenting.
