Hey, I was showing my older brother 'the' game this weekend, while he was visiting, and noticed a peculiarity, (that I, having run offline in the same profile for many moons now) had not noticed. He hated the buttons I use for shifting and clutch so I told him to make his own profile. I was busy getting some stuff ready for the 4th of July festival we had later, so I walked off. He made one, set {some buttons on the MS FF wheel, & controls to his liking} and was trying several cars on the one track that he vaguely recalls from Indycar Racing 2 (papy) which was Road America. 1st off he said "wish there was some display that would come up so I could see if I am doing better each lap (because the in car thingy was obscured by hands in some cars, or out of sight in others... Same with the fuggin mirrors... Anywho I was like, "damn what is up, where's the pitboard, maybe your profile has it off...?" rechecked it, refused to show up. So I had him try the built in tracks... he forgot what key was his clutch for a minute and pressed every button on the wheel once, finally ESC to reset his overturned car, finished the lap and the pitboard finally come up, running around Dijon GP I think it was. yet nowhere could I find a button to kick this on or off, and it was checked in his profile... so apparently the add on tracks do NOT necessarily support the pitboard huh? I had forgotten, pitboard for practice and qual as well as race? or race time only? so 2 more questions arise from this weekend... 1 How the hell do I get the mirrors into the (viewable area of the) screen, like half the cars the mirrors are located outside visible area, mini's are typical... I had not bothered to race the cars that this was a problem in, because I was LAZY to ask before now plus having fun with the few cars I did enjoy... 2 I have the manual, yet I forget & without someone to refresh my memory what is the space bar change in the in car computer readout? like press space once = shows what? twice = what? 3 times = split time difference from "last lap, or is it your BEST LAP" etc. thanks guys

Make sure to map your "seat forward / backwards" controls to some easily reachable keys on the keyboard or on your controller, you can then slide back the seat until the mirrors are fully visible. Same goes for "seat up / seat down", but I don't remember if GTL supports this function like rF does, it's been a while since I last fired up GTL.

I have that setup like that Uwe... I move seat back and all that... I thought someone did something with "virtual" mirrors... I hope to hunt on rsc for that info, sometime soon. later & thanks Uwe Sch�rkamp enlightened us with:
