F1 2000 - improving the default view?

Well I bought F12K - it's not bad, but the default camera seems to be incredibly wide angle, making the track look ridiculously narrow, and the wheels look bizarre! Is there any way of getting a normal view, such as GPL uses? I tried using cockpit#2 but I got no data as the cockpit was missing, this would be OK if there was a HUD option. - Michael

I heard it was possible in the Beta to use Shift +/- to adjust the POV setting. I don't know if that is also included in the retail version... Remco

Well, got the box yesterday, and you can't change the POV with these keys anymore... :-( Remco [email hidden] (Remco Moedt) wrote:
