In Grand Prix Legends you can extend the number of available views by
editing the Player.ini. My personal favourite of the extra views is
the 12th view, which is situated on the roll bars, as seen in the
replays.

A similar view exists in Nascar Racing 3, so I'm wondering if anybody
had sussed out a way to do the same sort of thing to access it during
a race.

Any ideas?

It would only be in use for watching replays.  The enhancements of the
cameras in GPL are directly related to the new game engine and how easily it
can move the main***pit position to any XYZ point.

Basically, in N3 (and any old game engine product by Papyrus), the camera is
set to an XYZ position hardcoded into the game, and the 2d***pit with the
gauges is laid on the screen.  The only thing left is the movement of that
position but that also is hardcoded.  If you know some Hexa, you can tweak
it `:)

How do you edit the player.ini file to get different views while driving?

Thanks,
Todd

Open the Player.ini, located in the Players folder.

Scroll down to [Personal Information] and change the number on the
line reading drivingview to read 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 and upwards, etc...

There are quite a few views (as I've said, 12 is my personal
favourite) but be careful, because if you press the change view button
from within GPL, you'll have to exit the game and edit the Player.ini
to use the same view again.

Have fun experimenting!
