G.I.D. 1.1.4

GID 1.1.4

Kevin asked me to put together a step-by-step guide the the installation of GID.
Global Info Display is a HUD designed initially for rFactor but can be made to work in Game Stock Car.
It can be downloaded here -
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n6bn375bzve0wb5/GID+V1-1-4+-+Global+Info+Display+and+Trackmap+v1_14+by+fazerbox.zip

I suggest you download it then look inside for the Manual which is located in Plugins/GID/Docs. A read at that might help you decide if you want to use it. It looks a bit complicated at first but isn't really.

There seems to be several ways to install it I think the following is the simplest -

Open your GSC install (Open File Location)
Change name of the d3dp file by adding "bak"
Change name of the TrackMapPlugin file by adding "bak"
Rename the GSC .exe to rFactor
Open the Plugins Folder
Rename the TrackMapPlugin file by adding "bak"
Extrack the contents of the GID Rar and paste the contents into your install


To uninstall -


Delete the new d3d9 and remove "bak" from the other one to leave it as original
Delete the GID Plugin file
Remove the "bak" from the TrackMapPlugin to leave it as original
Rename the rFactor .exe file to GSC to leave as original
Open the Plugins Folder
Remove the GID Folder
Remove the GIDPlugin file
Delete the "bak" from the TrackMapPlugin to leave as original.


Everything should be back to original.

STARTING LIGHTS IN GID HUD -

When you are on track - better parked,
Bring up the GID menu by hitting ALT and SPACE together.
Arrow down to Starting Synch.
Use Enter or Return key to change "Auto" to "Telemetry".
Escape out and you should be good to go.

Great stuff Davy! Kevin helped me with this on Wednesday, its a different game now!
My apologies if I'm talking nonsense (feel free to delete this post), but did you mean "Rename the TrackMapPlugin file FOLDER by adding "bak" "?

Alastair

No. As far as I can see the TrackMap Folder can sit there. I am referring to the TrackMapPlugin.DLL file.

Ah ok cool! Thx for taking the time to help to write these guides and tips, much appreciated.

Does GID 1.1.4 work on the game updates to 1.21?

Yes it does.
