@le_jaguar_2004, if you look better under belini's sig there is a link:

THANK YOU BELINI!

I'll try both soon and post here the results.

Hi belini,

I tested the beta cockpit view patch, it works!

But I'd like to make a suggestion:

I guess the patch has "inside" itself the x y z coordinates, right? Could you make them editable? So the user can mess around and find the position he thinks it's better. It would be useful too to make cockpits for other cars, like, stock, nascar, etc.

I patched my gp3.exe with the grip patch too, but didn't test it properly - yet.

someone else maybe able to do, all I have is some tools that enables me
to make simple patches.

well at least it didn't crash the game so it may work, try drivng 2 cars from
the same team and drop one cars perf value by 1000, you should find your lap
times will be a couple of seconds slower.

Damn, you beat me too it.

Here is some info I`ve gathered for editing the cockpit view camera if you want to edit the gp3.exe with a hex editor. I don`t think the tyre sprite/poly settings work when changed though.
If you know of any way to alter the size of screen thats drawn in cockpit view for the track please let me know. Because the bottom of the screen is blank(greyish coloured) in raised views, also the tyres get chopped off half underneath like a mask is being used or something.

I think it may be possible with some tweaking to use the change cockpit view angle in gp3 to lower and raise the camera instead of zooming in and out along the y axis.

Offset 79FB22 in Gp3.exe version 1.13

DEFAULT COCKPIT CAMERA SETTINGS
0000 1C00 ECFF 0000 80FF 0000 0000 4800 0000 0000
X----- Z----- Y----- DIRN TILT- ROLL D1--- D2--- RLRR FLFR

x=0
z=28 (1C00)
y=-20 (ECFF)=65516 (65536-65516=20)
DIRN=Direction =0
ROLL=Roll =0
TILT=(-7/10ths of 1 degree, 1 degree=182) - (80FF)=65408 (65536-65408=128)
D1=Detail1 =0
D2=Detail2 =72 (4800)
RL=REAR LEFT WHEEL
RR=REAR RIGHT WHEEL
FL=FRONT LEFT WHEEL
FR=FRONT RIGHT WHEEL

SPRITE/POLYGON STUFF
0001=256(RIGHT)
0101=257(BOTH?)
0100=1(LEFT)
0000=0(BOTH)

Measurements in degrees (TILT/ROLL/DIRECTION)

1 degree equals 182 decimal or B6 in hex
90 degrees equals 16380 or (FC3F) in hex
-90 degrees equals 49156 or (04C0) in hex

TILT STUFF
TILT +1 =B6 HEX OR 182 DECIMAL
TILT +2 =B6+B6=6C01
TILT -1 =4AFF HEX OR 65354 DECIMAL
TILT -2 =4AFF-B6=94FE
ETC.
TILT=-1 (4AFF) =65354
TILT=-2 (94FE) =65172
TILT=-3 (DEFD) =64990
TILT=1 (B600) =182
TILT=2 (6C01) =364
TILT=3 (2202) =546
TILT=0 (0000) =0

This is most of what I`ve got so far.

Don`t know if anyone is interested but I think I`ve found the mirror camera settings.
Just been driving around with the mirrors reflecting in the wrong direction! (same view as forward).

Gonna have a rest now from this.

Great, belini and Frank.

Frank, could you edit the belini patch so the user can choose the x y z coordinates, please? It'd be useful so far!!!
About the mirrors, is it possible to "turn them on" in the onboard view?

Amazing, after those years GP3 is still being developed.

Excellent info!
It would be nice to have a simple tool, like supersonic said, to change the coordinates.
Maybe something like cpd tool where you make a txt file and you export those values to the .exe.
Great work belini & frankt

Exactly Hernan,
Most people just can't understand hexadecimal numbers (myself included )

I`m working on a cockpit camera editor, downloaded masm gonna do some reading to learn a bit win32asm.
In the meantime, when I`m not too busy, I`ll write 3 simple patches to change the y, z and tilt angle seperately with say +5 -5 increments. Need a few values to play with so 3 patches could turn into about 30 seperate patches.
x co-ord is not as useful as tilt angle in the cockpit.

Don`t know of any way of turning on the cockpit graphics (mirrors) in onboard view. Maybe with a trainer it MIGHT be possible.

I`ve been using a memory searcher called TSearch to find the change cockpit view angle in gp3.exe

Ok...
Let's say I understood
Anyway, great work.
I'm looking forward for it.
