Do any of you guys use the GPLShift Utility? I tried an older version quite awhile ago, and it worked pretty well. It allowed you to see into the upcoming curve. In other words, as you turn the wheel into a curve (say, to the left) the view shifts slightly farther to the left. It's as if you've turned your head slightly in anticipation of the curve. I downloaded the latest version of GPLShift becasue I can't find my earlier version. This newer version has a lot of "bells and whistles" that weren't part of the earlier, simpler version. So many that I can't figure out how to get it to simply do what the old version did. I installed per the instructions in th readme file. Does anyone know how to get this to work? I think that I may have to change a setting in an ini file somewhere to activate it, but I'm not sure. BTW -- I decided to try this because I'm considering buying an IRTracker3, which this version of GPLShift supports. Any help with getting this to work in "normal" mode (no IR Tracker for now) would be appreciated. Thanks! Bert

I have a small program named "GPL Glance" that does the same thing, don't recall where I got it from but I'm sure it would be still available thru active gpl sites.

Yeah, this is the one I use too. Do like it; beats the " stiff neck/head that doesn't pivot at all " normal view. CPR had this in-game iirc, wish Papy would have done so. >

Ah ha! That sounds like the one that I used to use. I'll have to search for it. I guess that I got confused after checking out the IRTracker3 website that talked about a similar functionality with GPLShift. Thanks! JP wrote:
