Halo again - two problems from me in one day :S!
Can anyone point me towards a file or tool which you can use to remove the LCD display from the steering wheel in GP4? I wish to use Caelens McLaren wheel but still has the display - it says there is a tool to remove it but I can't find it anywhere - any wheels with it included are not available to download either.
So if someone could E-mail me it (vodkamartini1@gmail.com) or point me to where I can download it I would be very grateful.
Thank you.

Hmm, does htis only remove the information ON the panel? I think the ones which have been removed actually delete the panel itself.
I will give it a try though and thanks for your help.
If there's any further help please keep it coming :)
Thanks

you can download a no LCD Steeringwheel and replace your Files in the Fonts Folder of GP4 with the new ones from the downloaded no lcd wheel ;-)

here you'll find the williams no lcd Steeringwheel, the zip includes the recommended files to remove the lcd Display. You can use it for your Mclaren Wheel. It's the updated no lcd from Chunter

Thanks very much for the link - I wil give it a shot - I think it may just be the fonts I have to input to do so, though maybe the display .tex too. But I will try the fonts first.
Thanks to everyone for there help, cheers :)

Chunter - when I tried your last version of this wheel, I followed the instructions in the readme exactly and it didn't remove the LCD display - it was still partially visible through the weheel? Is there something else I need to do to get this working?

are you playing the game in English ? i only tested it in English

as long as you put the tex files in the cockpit folder of the cars.wad and the .uni and .pos files into the gp4 fonts folder it should work...bear in mind not your normal windows font folder, it should work....oh and try adjusting the cockpit view with the - and + keys on the right side of your keyboard..thats really all there is to it

is that the gp4 fonts folder inside the cars wad or the actual gp4 main folder? I am playing it in english.

ahh - well if this does solve it I have been doign it wrong, and I must apologize for sayign that your wheel is incorrect! It is just a bit unclear in your readme file as to what to do re. the fonts.
I shall give it a shot and fingers will be corssed :)
