Totally Baffled of Bristol here??!! The first time that I installed the F1 mod, it went without a hitch. This afternoon I must have loaded GTL about 5 times!! and I still do not have a working F1 install. I think I have experienced every single problem that has been aired on the forum, by Matt, Misnomis, Bob, Clive, Simon etc etc. Currently having a break from the insanity before having one more go this evening. I have even tried the method of building a dedicated "Game Data" folder and swapping it in and out of the standard GTL install..............no joy, won't even boot the game. I have had the F1 install boot up, but no F1 showing in the optional classes, despite being able to see the F1 cars in the Car Dealer. Still could not buy them because I had no tokens despite having ( at least I appeared to have) installed the limitless funds patch. I have even experienced Matt's issue of fighting the security programme and having to enter the CD security key at each start up, something that was not an issue when I did the first install??!! I think I will try the next install one step at a time, rather than adding all of the various files etc before hitting the .exe file. Still seething about the failure of that external hard drive....................a lot of valuable stuff was lost. My heart goes out to you EC, I ended up with teeth marks in my steering wheel by the end of my GTL F1 install Simon

Does anyone know if there are physical differences between the cars of the same type, where there are multiple options, or is it just graphics?

...............................still no F1......... I am sure that I have followed Tony's step by step instructions and installed each patch in order as per the F1 Install thread. Probably 4 or 5 times. I now have a working ( sort of ) GTL install, but there is no option for the F1 series alongside the standard 65GTC etc. There are however F1 cars on the Dealer page, but I cannot get the unlimited finance patch to give me any tokens so that I might purchase them!!! Looking through the installed files with Windows Explorer, I have a 67 F1 folder within Teams containing all of the new cars and the Honda updates. The token patch file is there too, plus the tyre pressure update and the brake balance. The dent in my forehead ( which coincidentally matches the profile of the top of my steering wheel ) is getting deeper and my wife is worried that it might cause an acceleration in my receeding hairline. Hah! that is about the only thing with any chance of accelerating around here at the moment!!

Part 4 of the instructions creates the F1 group.
After adding the unlock everything patch you have to create a new profile for it to work.

Forgot to mention that I also have to insert the original GTL game CD each time, before the game will load?? I don't recall any probs like this when I first installed the F1 mod last December Was there a patch to install to bi-pass the necessity for the CD?

The thing that threw me was that GTL wants to put itself in a folder called GT Legends wereas the missing patch wanted to go in a folder called GTL, which the rotten thing went and created. It wasn't until it dawned on me that the patch wasn't putting itself in the same folder that it all fell into place. So to speak.

It's called "Cheat-Unlock Everything v1_0" and it should be in your main GT Legends Folder. This is one of Tony's useful posts: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=12125.msg217542#msg217542

Depends on what WIndows you are using for it. For 10, 8.1, 8 (ughh) and I think 7 I had to make the gtl.exe run as administrator, and set to compatibility mode for xp u2 (or 3)

trusty ol' XP here, none of that new fangled tekky stuff.
progress I think............
I have unlimited funds and I can buy F1 cars
But still no 67 F1 class to select? so I am going to look for the "Step 4" that Tony mentioned...and check admin rights too.

OK I took an evening off to go racing F1 cars in GPL and help restore ( some) of my sanity.
Current state of play is...
I have a copy of GTL that will only boot if I have the game CD in the PC
When it does boot, I have all of the cars, including all of the F1 cars, in my garage.
I can join the lobby
But , I have no option to select 1967 F1. All of the standard car groups are there, but no sign of the F1 group.............
I might summon up the energy and interest to have another crack at this later, but then again, I might not.
