F1GP-Ed Documentation

This editor allows you to alter the car setup just like in F1GP itself. The
difference is that you can easily access all the setups a touch of a
button, without the need of loading each circuit and editing them via F1GP.
I'm not going to explain all the gadgets as most of them do the exactly the
same as the editor in F1GP, so consult your manual for more information.

Note that if you do not have the Separate Qual/Race Setups option selected,
the race setups will be used by F1GP in both qualifying and races.

The file operations described below deal with the same format files as F1GP
uses.

Computer Car Tyre Compound
   By default, the tyre compound for computer cars at the start of a race
is based on a value in taken from the track files (which happens to be the
C compound on every circuit) and after a pit stop computer cars always use
C compound.  This option allows you to alter the compound to any of the
others.  Note that the tyre compound at the start of a race may vary: in
races < 25% distance the cars will get D compound, 25-50% C compound and >
50% they usually get what you specify (or maybe one compound softer).  Due
to the stupid pit strategy employed by the computer cars, it may be better
to set the compound to something harder so it lasts longer - then maybe
increase the speed factor to account for their lost speed.

Default Tyre Compound
   The is the default tyre compound that is selected when you are up on the
jacks in the pits.  Also, the computer driven cars always use this compound
after a pitstop.  Note that during qualifying or a wet race the default
selection will be qualifying tyres (if you haven't used them all) or wets
respectively.  This does not affect the tyre compound used at the start of
a race.
 (default is C compound)
