1998/99 IAF1GPC Datafile for F1GP-Ed - Release 1.2 (10.10.98) ============================================================= Please read all of this document: This archive contains the official championship datafile installer. It will create a legal IAF1GPC datafile for use with F1GP-Ed. Datafiles for the Ace, Pro and Beginner series are different, so ensure that you choose the correct series in the installer... INSTALLATION ------------ To install the datafile, simply double-click the "Make_IAF1GPC_Datafile" icon, and follow the instructions. When participating in a championship event, you must use the newly created datafile with F1GP-Ed. IMPORTANT NOTES --------------- You are not permitted to change any settings in the datafile created by the installer, apart from those described in this document. If you need to make any changes, you must run it through the installer again to ensure it complies with the rules. You *must* use driver number 39 (in team number 12) when participating in championship events. Obviously, you may alter the names and colours for your team and driver, if necessary. If you specify your usual datafile in the installer will try to determine which team you usually use and it'll copy this into the correct position, leaving the names and colours untouched. SPEED & RISK FACTORS -------------------- Registered F1GP-Ed users who have enough memory in their Amiga to use the local speed and risk factor patches in F1GP-Ed should install them. Alternatively, you must manually copy the respective speed and risk factor values (from the local speed and risk factor patch windows) into the global speed and risk factor settings in the team editor window before you start each round of the championship (i.e. for each circuit). QUESTIONS --------- If you have any queries concerning the datafile and/or the installation process, feel free to mail me... Oliver Roberts
