UKGTL Season 6 Classic Endurance - Watkins Glen (GP) - Aug 28

I just hope my internet has the same feeling this time

Me too mate, you've had a harsh run of it of late!

Just a thought but mine disconnects if somebody calls me while i'm racing. I think it's a microfilter issue and luckily I don't have many friends since getting into GTL but to sort it I just unplug the phone and leave the DSL in on it's own. Stab in the dark and i'm sure you'd notice if the phone was ringing but it took me a little while to twig at first!

After the last two intense outings I can't wait for the race, and, as a man with impeccable taste I shall be in the lime green Capri-ghia. Seeya there

And it looks like the pesky woman is turning up to steal my family right around race time. Of course she is...

So I may actually wind up missing it if the timing REALLY sucks, which given how much practice I've put in will annoy me a very large amount.

Sounds like you're almost single

I am having trouble knowing what lap I am on, some would say I have trouble knowing
what day it is as well, but that's another story.

got some helpful suggestions last night, tried setting display to
1600x1200 32bit instead of 16 bit as it was, made no difference.
will download the HUD mod from racesim.

Prob is, that whether I tick the boxes in options, set HUD on a wheel button
hit "2" etc etc  I never get a HUD, I think I get the little LCD display, but
it's to the right off screen without looking right.
IS this a common prob?

Thanks
Matt.

When I was "helping" last night I mistakingly thought it was the LCD display you were having a problem with. Just a thought tho, check your player name.plr file for a enable HUD setting.

Sometimes the LCD's are in odd places. However if you are in a car where it is visible you can cycle thru various options and in one of them it will display your current lap. I think (guessing) that you use the space bar to cycle thru the modes.

[Legzy]

If you want to view the HUD from your cockpit view... the line in your PLR file (that Tony mentions) should read:
Allow HUD in cockpit="1"

Then once you've restarted the game & you're back in the cockpit, hit "2" & it should pop up.

My .plr  had HUD="0"
Now it is as below.

HUD="1" // 0=none, 1=Full, 2=Minimal (when enabled)
Minimal HUD="1" // Whether minimal HUD is included when cycling through HUDs
Minimal HUD Pos="0" // 0=left, 1=centre, 2=right

And I still cannot get a HUD, I have tried setting to 2 for minimal, high res cockpit
and anything else I can see, but it makes no difference. If I hit 2 while in car
it says "Screen capture saved" or somesuch the 1st time, after that hitting 2
does nothing. hitting 1 toggles virtual mirror. 3 does nothing i can see
4 also, 5 toggles the gear indicator, off, left , centre, right.

However, I have learned that I can use the mouse to move the seat back
and now I can see the lap number in the LCD display, though the lap time
is still out of view, is ok, all I want really is a lap counter so I know
when I need to pit, as there doesn't seem to be a low fuel warning
or a fuel gauge, it just coughs and then cuts out half way round the track.

So, I can sit further back, and use the LCD well enough. I would like
the ability to have a HUD on a wheel button, but it's not critical anymore.

Ta for all sugestions.

Matt.

Prob is, that whether I tick the boxes in options

Have you ticked the "Heads Up Display" box in Options-> Game, then assigned a "Toggle HUD" button in Options-> Controls-> Extra ?

Have you ticked the "Heads Up Display" box in Options-> Game, then assigned a "Toggle HUD" button in Options-> Controls-> Extra ?

Have you tried getting up really really close to the screen, tilting your head 45 degrees & squinting your eyes really hard while counting to fifty?

[phspok]

Yes Phil

Done that.

Tried that Legzy, I crashed lots, even while singing John Brown's body, and waving
my arms around like a helicopter.

[spanner]

Did you find the one Legzy showed in the plr file, that enables the hud in cockpit? Thats the one you need. The one you stated is a different one. Though you should see the hud in external views.

[phspok]

Ahhh

There is more than one.... Oh joy! thanks all, That's what comes of reading something
in one room and looking at files in another...

Now all is working,

[psuedo]

Not able to race and show you all how it's done tonight.  ....The results may be posted a little late too. have fun

[Syd Drake]

Don't know what is it with Phil Gilliland and me, but I again can't join, GTL crashes while trying to load Phil. I've tried reinstalling , didn't help.
