I tried the high***pit view but I've uninstalled it after a while.
It may be easier to drive the car but I just can't get used to it.
And I hate the head is detatched from the shoulders in replays.

Just by clicking the picture of a new drivingview you can download zipfile.
In the zipfile there is short and easy instructions for install. You need
GPLEA***pit version 1.02 installed 1st. URL to GPLEA can be found from the
pages, text in upper frame.

Bruce,

    I've tried all the new high views for all the cars currently out. And
some of them were a little to high for me. Well, GPLEA released modified
high views for the Ferrari and Brabham. Now it's just perfect.

   These new views have really helped me find my braking points.

How many high views are available? Are these views all available in
one place?

Ironically enough, after using the new high views for a while, I've
since switched back to the default in-cockpit views.  The new views
afford me a better view of the track most of the time, but I have
trouble finding some of my turn-in points with the higher view, it
seems.  Also, I feel somewhat "exposed," like I'm precariously balanced
on the car, rather than IN the car -- it seems as if I'm about to
tumble out, and it's absolutely FRIGHTENING to roll a car with the
higher view (all I can think is, "AIEEEEE -- I'm going to be
decapitated!" <G>).

All in all, kudos to whomever is responsible for the new views, but
after driving with the default views for so long, I find it's hard to
use anything else.  I think it all comes down to what you learn with,
and how much difficulty you have with the default views.  At any rate,
this is a WONDERFUL addition to GPL that could/should have easily been
included in the retail version.  Again, thanks to whomever is
responsible.

Good piont, that's exactly why I got back to default view.

Also, I feel somewhat "exposed," like I'm precariously balanced

You *are* already decapitated! Check a replay: they didn't just change the
hight of the camera, they changed the hight of the drivers head, so it is
detached from it's shoulders. It's a silly sight.

Yep, nice add-on but I prefer the original.
