WHAT'S NEW

   * A completely new set!


   There's also an EXE version available which contains an easy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE CARSET

  simulator Grandprix 2 from Microprose fully to the 1992 season.

  It contains:
     - New cars
        * The most ACCURATE cars you can find.
        * The best looking cars WITHIN the game
          (After all, what is it all about? :-) 
     - New drivers 
     - New helmets 
     - New numbers 
     - New marshals
     - A Performance patch that's supported by all versions of GP2. 
     - A pitbox order patch 
     - Changed cockpit colors to match the colors of the cars 
     - New pitcrew colors 
     - New wheels by James Ariz
     - New cockpits by James Ariz and Jan Johansson
     - And an installation file to make the installation as easy
       as possible. 

  NOTE:
  This carset changes the weight of the player's car!
  So don't use it for racing in any racing league.

  To install the carset read the installation section below.

  The latest version of this carset can be found on
  Pieter's GP2 Homepage: http://VOLftp.tin.it/GP2


------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE PATCH

  The patch that's used in this carset (P92CS10.GP2), is created with
  Steven Young's GP2Edit v1.70 for Windows.
  You will need GP2Edit v1.70 to install the ZIP version of this carset.
  It's available for download on Pieter's GP2 Homepage.
  Get it, it's great!

  This patch also contains spare drivers which you won't find in the
  EXE version!


------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE WHEELS

  The wheels have been designed by James Ariz exclusively for Pieter's
  Grandprix 2 Carsets and may not be distributed as a separate
  GP2 add-on or included as part of any other GP2 carset.  


------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE COCKPITS

  The carset contains a new SVGA cockpit and a new VGA cockpit.
  None of these cockpits can not be used in any other carset.
  - James Ariz's SVGA Cockpit 5 version 1
    This is a Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro F310B cockpit.
  - PK Arnall's VGA cockpit
    This is a VGA cockpit based on James Ariz's SVGA cockpit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION

  IMPORTANT: This carset will change your original GP2.EXE, F1GSTATE.SAV
             and JAM files!
             Make a backup of these files.

             You can only use this carset if you used the maximum
             installation of GP2.

  This is what you have to do:
  (And what you probably already have done. :-)

  1. Download and install GP2 Edit v1.70.
     You can find it on:
     - Pieter's GP2 Homepage
        http://VOLftp.tin.it/GP2
     - The GP2 Edit page
        http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/smyoung/gp2edit.htm 

  2. Before you load the set, disable the Fix Green Palette option
     in the Options/Program Configuration menu!
     This will make some of the cars look better. 

  3. Load the file P92CS10.GP2 into the Windows editor and choose the
     menu Options, Export to Game to install the set.

  The first time you start GP2 after the installation, you may
  have to change some things again. E.g. your steering device setup,
  graphics options etc.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
TROUBLE SHOOTING

  If you are experiencing some troubles, try to patch the game again
  using the original unaltered GP2.EXE and F1GSTATE.SAV.

  When after the installation GP2 locks at starting up, simply delete
  the file F1GSTATE.SAV from the GP2 directory. Then start the game,
  load the saved race P92CS10.QRL which is located in the 92CARSET
  directory. Then exit the game with Save Changes activated.

  When you load a previously saved game, the names, numbers and cockpit
  colors will change to their original values. Remember this!
  If you did load a saved game by accident and you saved the changes,
  you can reset the game to the 1992 season loading the saved race
  P92CS10.QRL which is located in the 92CARSET directory.
  Then exit the game with Save Changes activated.

  If the game locks up when you crash your car, try using another
  cockpit.

  The helmets in the menu cannot be changed yet.
  But within the game they are ok.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

  That's all!
