Roll bar view

6 posts by 5 people · 30 Jun 1999 - 06 Jul 1999

Can anyone tell me how to create a roll-bar view while driving the gpl car? Cockpit view too fast for my setup and skills. Chase a little too remote. Thanks
Depends on the sim..if he's referring to GPL, then its a change in the .ini file. But off the top of my head I don't remember which setting is the right one for the rollbar. However, once you set it, if you toggle the F10 key you won't be able to go back to the rollbar view. And, care to enlighten us as to these supposed bad habits of "alternate views"? :?

Look for the line drivingview = 1 in your player.ini file and change it to drivingview = 12. Save your changes and hit the track. Keep in mind that when you do this it disables your mirrors, so you might not want to do this while racing on line, lest you take someone out just because you didn't know they were there. See ya in the pits Dean I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything.
It can be done. I have myself tried it for a little while, but I didn't like to drive in that view. You have to edit your player.ini file. Under [Personal Information] there is a spot where you can change your drivingView. The normal view is number 1. I don't remember what was the number for roll bar view so you have do some experimenting :)
change drivingView = X to drivingView = 12 in c:\sierragpl\players\name_your\player.ini
