GPL Can someone do this? (new on board camera)

Hi I was wondering if someone can able to create a camera like the one we see in the replays on board ... it is exactly the same camera as the 'normal' on board camera when driving, but without***pit movement ... is it possible ? thanks McKafre De La Rosa

I meant I want to drive without***pit movement, not only for replays ... Hena Hakkanen escribi en mensaje >>it is exactly the same camera as the 'normal' on board camera when driving,

> I meant I want to drive without***pit movement, not only for replays ... You can do it, but I think you'd still lose your mirrors. I'll give it a look. Cheers, Steve B.

In options, uncheck driver arms. Its the same***pit view, and it will help FPS too.

I'd like to see one that swaps the behind the car view and the roll bar view, so when driving pressing F10 you swap between in car and roll bar. alternately can anyone point me to a site with information about making .CAM files and I'll have a go at it myself. -- Mark London UK Yamaha TRX850

OK; I had a look. You CAN make an in-car where the***pit doesn't move, but you lose your functioning mirrors, gauges and shifter, and the***pit doesn't look as nice. The wheel and arms still work fine if you like using them. As a plus, you get the same digital readouts at the bottom of the screen that you get from the chase view while you're driving, so you can see your speed, rpms, etc. while driving in-car. If anyone wants the .cam file, just let me know. Cheers, Steve B.

Eeeeek! More heresy! To the stake with him! I think Satan has taken control of this newsgroup! Can you see these things when you press f 10? (snip) so you can see

cool where can I dl it? McKafre De La Rosa Steve Blankenship escribi en mensaje ...

is not for FPS ... I think F10 drivers are faster cause they have not ***pit movement, In F10 your car is locked to the screen and you have more feel of the car ... want to try it inside ... PS: btw F10 drivers are more than 30 secs faster than me at the nurburg ... maybe i can reduce it to 25 ;) McKafre De La Rosa Robert Gravel escribi en mensaje ...

I wonder if this is also the reason why i notice a lot of suspension travel in replay whilst in driving mode I don't notice it this much at all? In the beginning whenever I watched replays (of other people or AI) that the spring settings were way softer than mine before I noticed that in replay my own suspension travelled a lot more in replay as it did whilst racing too!

> Eeeeek! More heresy! To the stake with him! I think Satan has taken > control of this newsgroup! Can you see these things when you press f 10? Eeeeek! Get that stake away from me! Heck, I don't use the darned thing, I just responded to a question. :-) I'm a confirmed in-car guy, myself. But yes, you can see the digital readouts in F10 (chase) view, I suppose because the analog gauges don't work then. I can't see any advantage to the digital displays, aside from the novelty of seeing your speed while driving. That wears off in about 10 seconds and is basically useless anyway. But for anyone who has issues with the 3D ***pit's movement and wants to drive OFFLINE with an overlay-type***pit view, it IS do-able. By going to a more wide-angle view, you can even get more peripheral vision, though that does *** fisheye-like things to the perspective if you overdo it. All in the interest of science, Steve B.

(Major Snip) Hi, Steve -- I hope you took no offense, because none was meant! Just having fun, and I thought I was over-the-top enough to convey that. I admire all the tinkering and discovery that you and others get into. Guards! Put out that fire! Kurt

As for tinkering, you should see all the virtual duct tape on my Lotus! Cheers, Steve B.

A friend of mine made me a camera that is from a more realistic head placement. Not so low as the in the car view. It lacks in mirrors and gauges though. From this view I have learned these things about GPL. 1.. The***pit motion confuses the issue - Because his camera angle is outside the virtual***pit the monocoque stays stationary. This increases the anticipation by about 42 gobs. Because there *is* gobs more anticipation without the dynamic***pit I can only believe they left it in to be cool. The game is much better from the realistic view angle. (Non dynamic) The car is much more realistic in a strictly reactionary sense. (More anticipation) 2.. The low rider angle of the head makes it hard to see the front tire track - In a real car what do you see and what do you sense? Doesn't matter at all... in a recreational sim you need to do what ever it takes to simulate the experience, not the absolute physical reality. Once again the higher/further back view dominates in that you can set up, apex, and exit corners with *accuracy*. Something the stock GPL doesn't have much of. With the new view the car is much more realistic in a strictly "transference of intention to reality" sense. (More accuracy) Overall, it feels much more real and is faster because of the anticipation. I believe it would be faster than either***pit of F10. If only they'd done it right. -- Mark Jeangerard www.soundchaserweb.com New Mexico USA > Hi > I was wondering if someone can able to create a camera like the one we see > in the replays on board ... > it is exactly the same camera as the 'normal' on board camera when driving, > but without***pit movement ... > is it possible ? > thanks > McKafre De La Rosa

placement. Sounds very interesting Mark. How about posting it so we can try it out ? -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

Here you go. This little beauty was made by Greg Renner. Drop it into the cars\cars67\ferrari folder. Then, in player.ini in the [ Personal Information ] section make the line - drivingView = 13. When you are in the***pit, if you hit F10 the car will switch to behind view and the player.ini will be rewritten. After which you will need to manually change the player.ini again. So only hit F10 when you want to go back to factory settings. Have fun. :-) (Am I gonna get yelled at for posting this file? I got some sounds too... ) -- Mark Jeangerard www.soundchaserweb.com New Mexico USA begin 666 ferrari.cam M``"^AUQ_OP``````CQ8[J09)0)HD^SD`````J#VN/P````````"^A+;.OOWN M`+$>,#X`````J#VN/P````````"^``````````#-S,P^```````````````` M.#NN/P````#S[?^]VZKH/25()+\MD8RY[1I$0*+Y13D`````:U&</P`````` #``"^ ` end
