* Construction *

Editor(s) used	: Visual Basic 5
Known Bugs	: You need vb5 runtime
Build Time	:  1 hour


* Installation *

BE SURE TO BACK EVERYTHING UP BEFORE YOU DO THIS!

1.Install the nocd utility which can be found http://www.grandprix2.com  
Once you do this you should have a CIRCUITS directory off of your GP2 directory.
Copy the *.dat file to the CIRCUITS directory,

Copy the JAM files to the subdirectory off of your gp2/gamejams directory.

2. Copy all the files from gp2start.zip to your gp2 directory
3. Now you have to make all the change of your gp2 files ( name or cockpits.etc )
4 copy all the gamejams files to the formula1\gamejams directory and the circuits files to formula1\circuits.
if some of the gamejams files doesent have same name as the other setups copy those to gp2\gamejams.
5. To keep the looks of your cars cockpit copy Cpithi.pcx och Cpitlow.pcx to the formula1 directory  
6. copy F1gstate.sav to keep the new names.
done

Now you have to do the same thing whith the indy cart files
To the other tracks you have to copy the "new" circuits (*.dat) files to Othertracks\circuits folder                                         "NEW"
if you got any new gamejams copy those to gp2\gamejams if they dont have the same name as existing folder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you want to have a another carshape to indycart you have to make a copy
of gp2.exe and rename it to indy.exe

THE FIRST TIME YOU USE THIS PROGRAM MAKE SURE WHAT THE FILE FORM1 IN
GP2\CIRCUITS DIRECTORY IF YOU PLAY FORMULA 1 OR ICART IF YOU PLAY INDYCART
BECURSE THE .BAT FILE MAKES A COPY OF F1GSTATE.SAV BEFORE COPYING OVER IT.
This are being done so your changes from the last time you played will be saved. 

IF YOU DONT CHANGE THE CARSHAPE YOU MUST RIGHTCLICK ON THE
GP"START.BAT AND COOSE EDIT .
LAST IN THIS FILE YOU HAVE TO CANGE INDY.EXE TO GP2.EXE

Des Flynns indycart -99
Formula 1cars,helmets and tracks from -99 downloaded from www.grandprix2.com
