GPL Idea ?

4 posts by 4 people · 30 Aug 1999 - 01 Sep 1999

Compared to your average flight sim GPL uses very few keyboard commands, so here are a few ideas for the 'F' keys. A vignetted 'goggle' view, showing in peripheral vision the edges of the drivers goggles. Add to this a reduction in vision if following close behind another car for any length of time to represent oil/debris smearing. Jack Brabham was known for driving in the dirt at the edges of the track to distract pursuers, so what about a cracked lens in one side of your goggles? And a key to wipe your goggles clean, or pull on another pair, many drivers took two. And maybe the odd fly hitting your goggles would add more realism, and appeal to the Quake minded players for a bit of gore? Steve
Off-hand I can think of 3 more usefull things to spend these processor cycles on. I bet Randy can dream up a lot more. Jan. ----
