I wonder why we don't have access to a steering wheel map-of-the-cicuit
display, as Mika use to use during the race, or as Schumi sometimes uses in
practice. Seems pretty trivial enough to have that as a choice of wheel
display.

I could stick a post-it in the middle of my screen ...

Why would you need one, it's not easy exactly easy to get lost.

Well maybe at the Ring.

Why don't you have access to it? Do you not own paper? pens? tape? Who
or what is preventing you from making a map? Are you referring to a
particular game? Are you referring to your own, physical car? How are
'we' to interpret a post with such vagaries?

Why don't we have access to bananas? I've seen Montoya eating bananas
before a race. Seems trivial enough to have that as a pre-race meal.

You should also stick a post-it saying "please refer to the actual sim you
want to talk about when posting to r.a.s." :-/

As he refers to Mika and Schumacher - one might be so bold as to suggest a
Modern F1 sim - none of which actually contain this facility which I have
seen on bother those drivers wheels in the past.

Hmm, I clearly understood what he means, I was just suggesting him that.
There has been F1 games in the past that had maps on the steering wheel,
that's why :)

I think some arcade-style racing games had something like it, like the
Andretti sim and the latest Eidos game with a map*** in thin air
showing all the cars' on track locations. But that's overdoing it.

As for the sim I'm talking about, well I plainly forgot to mention in the
header that I was referring to F1 2002. But at the same time, is there
another F1 sim out there? ;o)

Yeah! I WANT BANANAS! :)

I'm absolutely sure I saw once an F1 game with a map on the steering wheel
for all the tracks. Can't remember which.

GPL? :)
