4PP Beta Versions

Hey 4PP fans!

First of all 4PP is and will always be free for everyone.
Because the amount of time between a version and another is mostly caused by the testing phase this means that many features are actually ready well before the release of the new version.

To not clog this page on Race Department I decided to upload this, less significant updates (beta versions), on my Patreon for FREE.
If you are interested you can find them here: Gabimaix Graphics

If you want to support what I am doing you can subscribe for just 1$

By downloading 4PP beta you will get access to features of the filter that are work in progress so expect some bugs. 4PP beta will also only be compatible with pure and will not come with the csp settings: those will be uploaded in the final version here on race department.

v1.0
makes 4PP finally compatible with Peter Boese's PURE!
​

This new update will replace your current version of 4PP (previously only compatible with SOL) with the new version compatible with both SOL and PURE

​

Some important things to note:​

- There is no need to change filter when switching from SOL to PURE or vice versa because the same file is compatible with both weather scripts simultaneously.​

- Development will now concentrate mostly on the PURE side of the filter.

- Future updates to the SOL side will only be minor tweaks and bug fixes.
- The PURE version of the filter is for now a very basic script and still very much a work in progress so don't expect a bug free experience.​

4PP is back!
And this time with PURE!

Expect a PURE version of 4PP very soon!
