- HOW TO INSTALL THE UPGRADE
-
- DISK UPGRADE
-
- If the update came to you on disk, just insert the disk into your disk drive
- and run the program update.exe. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
-
- Note for Win95 users: to run the program you can press Start on the task bar
- then select Run.... In the panel that appears type in the drive letter, a
- slash (\) and update.exe (e.g. a:\update.exe) - then hit OK.
-
- Note for Windows 3.1x users: to run the program you can start File Manager,
- press the floppy drive icon (usually a) and double click on the update.exe
- program listed in the Window.
-
- DOWNLOADED UPGRADE
-
- If you got the update by downloading it, just copy the single file into the
- same directory that you installed Grand Prix Manager in and decompress the
- ZIP file using PKUNZIP.
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- During the race:
- - if you press the Position button, the race is paused and the cars number
- appears. If you now click on the race track the number will change to the
- position you are currently in, clicking again on the race track toggles you
- back to the car number.
-
- To re-start the race just click on the depressed Position button. This will
- help you identify where the car in front of you is.
-
- - a letter representing the tyre type (W for Wet, A for Compound A etc.) now
- appears in front of the tyre rating on your control panel.
-
- ALTERATIONS
-
- We have made the current top teams dominate their less well funded opposition
- even more.
-
- Have reviewed all of the components (Car Internals, Car Externals, Driver Aids
- etc.) and adjusted their importance to make it more obvious to the player the
- importance the item has.
-
- Taken the opportunity to add more AI for the computer player's pit stop
- strategy during wet weather races.
-
- To help you get started in the world of sponsors, we have made one of the
- smaller companies be willing to commit to you straight away.
-
- Removed any odd occurrences which were reported (such as an Insurance memo
- occasionally appearing without any text and a little GPM car icon not
- appearing on the Win95 task bar).
-
- THANK YOU
-
- Thanks for all your comments and suggestions - we do value your feedback.
- Unfortunately some, like getting the game to run in higher colour depth, such
- as true colour mode, rather than 256 colour mode, are not possible because
- of technical limitations, but we will keep these and other comments in mind
- for future games.
