However, you DO have a marvelous tool in the cockpit, a Tachometer. MPH is overrated...it just tells you that you are going X speed. What the rest of your senses can tell you if you nailed the corner, if it felt fluid-like, or if it felt like a saw.( but don't listen to me, my gpl rank is pretty rank) dave henrie
The F10 view displays mph as well as other interesting things, like fuel pressure and water temperature. "joe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:FcD89.15975$[email hidden]... > header says it? > > THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! > >

Just a thought. Would it be possible to have 2 computers in a network. Start a race. Then connect with the other computer and have it do a live view. Change to the car that you're driving, it would show your speed and other information available in the replay view at the same time would it not? -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net

Could you not just move the F10 view to cockpit level using one of the camera utils? All the best, Ash http://www.siroccoracing.com

I don't see why not...though if I had that capabilty I'd prefer to use it riding in car with the driver behind me, just to keep an eye on where he is on the track

I typically set it to 12, which provides a perspective right over the rollbar (some people choose the low down in front view- dunno what number that is tho). You then get MPH, and a higher view of the track (I'm spoiled by the N2002 roofcam, ok?), but you don't get the mirrors or the pitboard.

Thanks for that!! I've been looking for a way to drive cockpit without the mirrors since I got gpl(I've got a crappy system and get a fps hit online when racing in car)
