Not sure if this is related, but in a recent league race at Monza, Frank Gardiner's red brabham appeared a bit strange to all of us who had the full car set installed. Note rear tyres and steering wheel.

It appears normal in offline races.

Very strange, especially as there are no car files in the patch.

Paul,

Yes; very strange.

I show the player car number is now #19 with the new patch.  Wasn't the unpatched number #4?

That's the only possible change I see with the new patch that might affect the player car skin.

In the 67's it's #4, but in the 65's it is #19.

Has the '65 mod always used #19?  Can't remember.

Yes, it has.

Watching my Ferrari in replays it is red in the distance then turns blue and white as it gets nearer;  from some angles the cockpit sides will be red.  Helmet changes color;  watching one replay, the helmet was blue (correct color) as the car approached, turned green, then was red and white, then blue again.

Addendum:  this isn't affecting any other cars.

I've been trying to look at the Targa Florio for a few weeks now. I now have it running in 67, the update came from some other site. I conclude that the 65,66 and 69 long track updates hosted here are corrupt. I'm getting a .7Z file which does not look like an installer and windows confirms this by giving an error message? These files are apparently not available anywhere else. Help required!

I've installed all four patches without problems.  Are you using a 7zip program to extract the files? (either 7zip itself, or a universal program like TUGZip)

[paul skingley]

I just d/l the 1965mod_PATCH_v2.0.2_Setup to check.
If you extract the file with ..7 or zipgenious you get an installer.

Back in my office today I notice the files on my PC seem OK, It's when I transfer them to a data stick they change but today they didn't and they look OK. I'll try 'em when I get home. If not I'll try ..7 or zipgenious which I've never come across before.
Thanks

ZipGenius Paul mentioned is a very good recommendation.

I can also recommend this freeware zip program: TUGZip http://www.tugzip.com/

It unpacks: ZIP, 7-ZIP, A, ACE, ARC, ARJ, BZ2, CAB, CPIO, DEB, GCA, GZ, IMP, LHA (LZH), LIB, RAR, RPM, SQX, TAR, TGZ, TBZ, TAZ, YZ1 und ZOO.

It packs to: 7-ZIP, BZ2, CAB, LHA (LZH), SQX, TAR, TGZ, YZ1, ZIP

Hello all..

         Only at Targa

    I'm having a problem with my 65's and targa track.  If I try to run on Targa online or against Ai in the 65's the # of turns shows 0 and total distance shows 0.0 km/mi.  Also in setup page the # of laps I can go on x fuel is always 999 laps.  If in the 65's against the Ai the pit lane is also moved up to just behind and right side of start finish line, which puts most of the field right on top or in a gaurd rail.  When joining online in the 65's I am put in the norrmal 1/4 mile back from S/F pitlane but still don't get correct total distance or # of turns.

    In the 67's everything apears normal.  Number of truns 579 I think and distance per lap 73.xx or so and get the right pitlane with Ai so I think my problem lie's in my 65's.  

    So I reinstalled the 2.0.2 patch, removed the gpl65 folder from the mods folder and the gplc65 from the gpl folder, installed the patch and rebuilt the gplc65 with gem+, but am still getting incorrect distances and other problems.

      Anyone have any ideas?  

All other tracks are fine and have the lates GEM+

This sounds like GPL loads an incomplete track.ini when you load this track with the 65 mod. You probably won't have these problems anymore if you remove track65.ini from the targa folder. However, this would limit your ability to change the AI performance. What's more, you should not play with the 'disable AI limp back to pits' setting in GEM+ as this is most likely the culprit here. Changing this setting would probably cause GEM+ to create a new track65.ini which contains only a single line and usually causes the problems you describe.

[Michael Valls]

Spot On.

I removed the track65.ini from targa folder and every thing is good   .  I even Have a pit board I didn't even relize I was missing.  I'm not to woried about adjusting the Ai but if I need Im sure I can just get a new File to replace it.

    Thanks again!

[Danny Karnage]

Probably a dumb question, but how do I set up and use a track specific driv65.ini?

[Miguelito]

Drop the ini file into the track folder of the appropriate track, if it isn't already there.
