question:
the gplea eagle when viewed in replay always shows a yellow helmet
with a design and a bare face below the goggles.

all the other drivers have the masked face and normal helmets (IE
driver preference) even when online, the preferred helmet of the
driver shows when live, but if i look at the replay (at any time,
immediately or later) the helmet and face are not what i would expect
to see.... any idea why or better what file i need to change to
eliminate this ?

i've tried to delete plahelm or plaface, but then the track won't
load.
                          thanks for any help or hints!

For the face, try copying face.mip from one of the other car folders and
renaming it plaface.mip in your eagle folder.
As for the helmet, do a net search for winmip2. You can use this to
convert plahelm.mip to a bitmap. Then open it in a graphics program
(mspaint etc) and draw your own. Then convert it back to a mip and put
it back in the eagle folder.
Alternatively there are lots of new helmet designs here

along with a 'how to section'.

Hi Bo,
be carefull with that Eagle. When I installed it, GPL crashed me back to
desktop as soon as other Eagles where in the online race. That was the
reason why I missed the Zandvoort race.

Yup, same problem here, and I heard the same story from a couple of
people. The GPLEA Eagle is stunningly beautiful, so is the
soon-to-be-released GPLEA Honda, but I'm affraid those cars are a bit
too much to handle for GPL :(

I've had no online problems with the Eagle except that other players using
the Eagle have blank number decals, and so does Ginther in the AI.

It probably depends on a number of things, system specs, other hires
updates installed, other hi-res cars installed, the stars and some
other things.
Just remember that if you have back-to-desktop crashes, big chance
it's the Eagle.
I heard the same problems btw with those other beautiful 16bit car
textures by *forgot his name*.

I'm pretty sure version 2.1 of the eagle fixes that.
If not, there's a fix for the v2.0 eagle in one of the thread at the
racesimcentral forum. Do a search for gplea eagle.

thanks everyone!

Kev- bullseye! but get this, i only had to change the face.mip, once i
did that i checked (to make sure GPL loaded :D ) and not only did the
face have the mask again like i wanted, but also the helmet stopped
changing to the yellow- go figure...

anyway appreciate the direction
bo


1. GPLEA Eagle: Jo Siffert's helmet ?

2. GPLEA Eagle released for GPL

3. Face to face with death, today

4. Does it matter? Rear facing or front facing?

5. subwoofer mounting... facing inside box vs. facing outside

6. full face versus non-full face

7. full face versus non-full face

8. Full face helmets save face. Literally.

9. Does wearing a full face helmet make you more likely to land on your face?
