Question for the GPL "Hackers" community:
Has anyone ever made the driver hands look like "hands" instead of bricks
wearing gloves? You know, rounded knuckles and that sort of thing? I've
just recently returned to running GPL....now the square hands are bothering
me. Just thought I'd ask.

Not a very helpful responce, but I experienced that I got faster after
turning them off. :) Less distraction.

They don't for me. Your eyes shouldn't focus on that portion of the screen,
therefore hands should appear blurry and the problem solved.
I mean, will you post something like "Has somebody yet fixed the mirror
curvature? They are 2d, it distracts me from real-life mirrors that are
curved.

I'm sure you play all your racing games with the trackside detail turned
off. It's not needed and only gives you a lower framerate.

I'm in shock!
We have 954 tracks, 231 different cockpits (just for the Ferrari mind you),
every tire and wheel ever made by man (including high-grip wagon wheels), a
car set that includes every race car that's ever run in F1 (regardless of
year), new exhausts, new headers, new plug wires, new pit boards, every
color driving suit under the sun (ditto arm stripes).......but no one has
put round knuckles on the brick hands?
What is wrong with that picture? Guess I'm going to have to do this myself.
Does anybody know how?
Tom
(Dang, I hate it when I have to actually contribute something back to this
sim community when its so much easier to just suck the milk and honey from
the breasts of those talented few!)

Oh come on Scott! Frank and I are just "talkin' racin' talk" here. Now,
don't try to make something out of this that it isn't. Okay?
"Hey Frank, now that WSC is going to be made into *Starsky and Hutch Sports
Car Racing*......are you planning on bringing your old polyester, tight-butt
leisure suits out of the closet.....to celebrate the "return of the infamous
duo" from the old S & H days? I always liked the way those looked when you
slithered into your cockpit to go sim racing. You know? You used to send
me pictures of you suit'n up and getting ready to go run some Spy Boy....I
really miss those."
See, Scott......nothing but puuuurrrreee racing talk going on here!
Tom

LOL! That was supposed to be a secret...
Hey remember that WSC... errr oops Starsky and Hutch will be open-source,
thus it'll be quite easy to add knuckles to the hands if there is any :)

Yeah I think they do not know. Well anyway, to resume the situation...
...Saturday night of the LAN, very late. In downtown Albany it's Halloween
so there is a club nearby with people disguised. Two of them were Trekkies,
and I was quite heavily affected by that incredible gift of life that is
alcohol ( ;-D ). I shouted at them "Fucking Trekkies!!!!" as we passed
them. It's an old inside joke from the fact that I'm the Star Wars geek of
the Nascar community. I can't find the picture of me lying down on the
table.
Oh and I finished dead last at the LAN. Crashed, got crashed, fallen asleep
on the wheel, etc... Bah this year I'll win!

I hereby volunteer to be the HAND model for TP's knuckle experiments. Yes
just send that mega-pixel camera up here to Spokane and I'll try and find
somebody who knows how to push the button and take pictures with it of my
knuckles grasping a wheel...Yes I will only charge the union rate for Hand
Models...
