Unpack the archive using "lzx x champdata.lzx" (not "lzx e" - this doesn't
preserve the path names).
If you haven't got the standard Amiga installer program installed on your
Amiga, then you'll need to download Installer V43 from Aminet, if
your Amiga has Workbench 2.0 or higher. Workbench 1.2/1.3 users will need
to use the older Commodore Installer V1.25 instead - this is no longer on
Aminet, but you can get the Installer-1_25.lzh file (unpack with LhA) from here (I found
it on Aminet CD 9).
Installation
To install the datafile, simply double-click the "Make_IAF1GPC_Datafile"
icon, and follow the instructions. When participating in a championship
event, you must use the newly created datafile with F1GP-Ed.
The installer effectively allows you to merge your own datafile with the
IAF1GPC datafile, so most of your own preferred settings remain intact,
while making it legal for use in the championship. Please make sure you
read the instructions below (they can also be found in the ReadMe.txt
file in the datafile pack).
Important Notes
You are not permitted to change any settings in the datafile created by
the installer, apart from those described in this document. If you need to
make any changes, you must run it through the installer again to ensure it
complies with the rules.
You must use driver number 39 (in team number 12) when participating in
championship events. Obviously, you may alter the names and colours for
your team and driver, if necessary. If you specify your usual datafile in
the installer will try to determine which team you usually use and it'll
copy this into the correct position, leaving the names and colours
untouched.
Speed & Risk Factors
Registered F1GP-Ed users who have enough memory in their Amiga to use the
local speed and risk factor patches in F1GP-Ed should install them.
Alternatively, you must manually copy the respective speed and risk factor values (from the local speed and risk factor patch windows) into the global speed and risk factor settings in the team editor window before you start each round of the championship (i.e. for each circuit).
