Is there a way to remove the drivers arms but leave the steering wheel in place? When I turn off the drivers arms, the steering wheel disappears with it. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net

There's a wonderful set of arms somewhere which are semi-transparent. I started using them because the knuckles on the wheel stick out further than the default hands and annoy the hell out of me for some reason. The transparent arms might help you as well. Sadly I can't remember where I got them from! Andrew "no help" McP

I downloaded them but it's still not what I would like. I just want the steering wheel. I notice the patch has a bunch of MIP files. Is it possible to modify the .mip files so that they are completely transparent? I don't even know where to start. I have no clue what .MIP file is. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net

There is a mip file which creates the driver's arms. If you change the mip file to a single color, then make it transparent.....the driver's arms will not display but the wheel will. This requires knowledge of mip-to-bmp file conversion and bmp editing. If you don't know how to do this, try making a post on one of the GPL forums where some of the track or car editors hang out....perhaps one of them will do it for you.
