F1C Question

Is there any way to keep the steering wheel from moving? I deleted the driver arms from the gen files and I'd really like now to be able to drive without the distraction of a 2nd wheel moving in front of me (and generally out of sync with my input for that matter). I've tried moveable=FALSE which just causes the entire wheel to not be rendered, which isn't desirable since I need the LCD info. Jason

So how did you get rid of the arms? Thanks, Chad "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I always set it to the tyre temps page, because it's in icons and colors. And I don't like to use the HUD overlay, so I'm lacking for information. At least in a race, the race engineer will tell me my gap to the car ahead. It would be neat if I could get him to say whether I'm up or down on my personal best, sector by sector. -- Ped Xing GPLRank -31.657 "A good racing driver doesn't really look like he's going that fast; but in fact it's a clean, smooth, progressive performance that supplies the real speed." -Sir Jackie Stewart

What type of wheel do you have? My Logitech momo moves in perfect sync with the wheel on screen. No perceptible lag what-so-ever....

No perceptible lag what-so-ever.... It's not the wheel. I can verify on the controller assignment screen that I'm not getting jittering or lag or anything like that between the wheel and the game. Regardless, even if my wheel and the one on screen are in synch, I can't drive that way. Jason

Can't? I think you're being a bit pedantic there... :-D The wheel & arms in GPL don't bother me either...

The only sim I can stand driving that has a wheel in it is Mobil 1, because it doesn't really move at all. The fewer things I have moving in my direct line of sight, the better. It's not really something you can ignore in an F1 title either since all of the data you need to look at is on it (otherwise I'd just completely comment out the wheel and turn the HUD or something on).
