Hello,
Just started up again with GPL (sun rises in east..<g>), and have
always used the "high-cockpit" files for all cars, except for the
Ferrari, and the Brabham (the .3do mode does not work for those 2
cars).
First, where are all the GPLEA cockpits? I used to visit GPLEA, and
see a -huge- page with all sorts of cockpits, add-ons (high-cockpit,
etc..) and both finished and beta. Now, I can find only 3 beta cars,
but no cockpits. Guess I'm not up to speed on all the newer things
lately.
Can someone give me a direct URL to a "slew" of GPLEA cockpits? I did
find Lotus and Brabham on another site, but they seem to be older
versions (Brabham was not finished).
Second, can someone explain exactly what GPLEA car (and perhaps GPLEA
"high-cockpit" files) I need for the Ferrari and the Brabham? I asked
about this before, and someone did mention I needed complete GPLEA
cockpits (for Ferrari/Brabham) to use the high-cockpit files. Be he
didn't say which gplea cockpits for these 2 cars.
Perhaps this is all quite easy, but I just can't find the dang GPLEA
cockpits..<g>
Thanks Much!, Matt

You don't need anything other than a 3DO editor and a
bit of knowledge. Just open up the car 3DO file and
go to to the 'head' root. Edit the very first child node
(X = forward/back, Y = left/right, Z = up/down) to move
the in-car viewpoint. For bonus credit offset every node
under that one by the opposite amount to avoid that
'floaty' feeling.
As for dashes, try:

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, without the correct GPLEA cockpits, the
high-cockpit files make all the car-drivers look like they have the
heads chopped off <g>. Not a big deal really, but I'd guess there are
GPLEA cockpits made for the high-cockpit .3do files.
try our site at
http://warpedracing.figc.net/
BUT
the figc.net is down - there's a power supply failure in that server and
they say it's going to be fixed today..

The high cockpits views are available at Greger Huttu's site
http://koti.mbnet.fi/ghuttu/ in the 'other updates' bit.

Thanks for the help, and links (everyone). I finally found a GPLEA
Brabham and Ferrari, and now the head-riser files work fine, although
the Ferrari doesn't seem to need it that much.
I found lots of dashes/cockpits, etc., but am sticking with finished
GPLEA cockpits (I could find only 3 finished GPLEA cockpits; the
Ferrari, Brabham, and Lotus, all version 1.02). Now all head-riser
files work in all cars.
All the other cars? I'll leave them alone for now. I have a
Voodoo-3, and don't like the low-res dashes/cockpits. And they really
won't help me go any faster, but the head-riser files help a lot.
