gp4.exe and gpxpatch.exe have to be set to compability mode xp sp3
Is that for Windows 8? Never needed to do that for Windows 7 or lower.
I lucked into some pretty awesome settings for my G27 this weekend, and I must say this game is insane for a 2002 title now. I have played a great amount of hours on this game with the keyboard, but since discovering rFactor etc. with a wheel, and struggling to find nice settings with wheels for this game, it was left behind quite a bit for me.
So I started it up on Saturday, left my Logitech profiler on 107-0-0 and 900 degrees, and set my in-game steering lock to 20 degrees, and voila, we have a winner. I must add that I set intelliVibe on in GPxPatch.
Combined with the superior AI, it's the most offline fun you can have with your clothes on. It's also the first time I've been able to play the game on Ace difficulty - with keyboard, I was way off the pace in Ace, and had to resort to Pro, at most.
First race in Melbourne, did about 20 laps practice just to get the feel for the brakes and the kerbs, and since I was leading the timetable with my Alesi Jordan - default setups - I decided on a challenge and start right from the back.
58 arduous laps later, I finished 4th, and had no way of catching Hakkinen for 3rd as he was matching me basically exactly lap for lap, and in my over-eagerness to catch him I spun a few times. Luckily Montoya was over a minute behind me, after he and some other frontrunners spun quite a few times, so I held on to 4th.
