Hi, The cockpit views in these games are totally different. In F12000 is looks like the wheels are only 1m apart, while GP3 seems to have the correct perspective. I know the 2000 cars are 20 cm. narrower than the 1998 cars, but still the perspective on the F12000 cars doesn't seem right. Any insights? Dennis.

Nope :-) Different strokes would be my guess. -- [email hidden]

I think it comes down to different default lens choices, focus points, etc. For F1 2000 changing the "radius" variables in the Cams.cfg files can alter the lens you look thru for the "Home" key views. So you can get the wheels scrunched up or smeared out wide. The *.scn files in the track folders give you a main and rearview. I haven't played with those yet. Don't have GP3 yet, getting curious.

Hmm, this makes the diff in the cockpit view even more strange. Dennis.

I think that the fronts in F1 2000 are drawn a bit too wide, and this is what is causing the cars to look narrower as there is less space between them. -Gregor

If they made F1 2000 widescreen like GPL it would look just about right <G> -- Ian Parker "Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy." <email invalid due to spam> Gregor Veble <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Dennis wrote: > > > > In article <2$[email hidden]> > > Graeme Nash <[email hidden]> wrote: > > > > > > > >>I know the 2000 > > >>cars are 20 cm. narrower than the 1998 cars > > > > > > Can't comment on the games but I know that's not true, the "narrow car" > > > rules came into effect in 1998. > > > > Hmm, this makes the diff in the cockpit view even more > > strange. > > > > Dennis. > > I think that the fronts in F1 2000 are drawn a bit too wide, and this is > what is causing the cars to look narrower as there is less space between > them. > > -Gregor
