Cockpitshape editing...lowering the front wheels in the cockpit view
Posted by abdelkader
I am working on a cockpitshape... I want it to look the way it was back in the 1970's.
I realized that the front wheels in the 1970's were smaller than the contemporary ones. In order to imitate this effect , I decided to 'lift' the whole construction of my cockpit up (I thought that raising the whole layout would make it unable to see the front wheels).
I launched GP3 Car Editor and increased values in each of the 181 verticies from the 'Cockpit' section.
I launched GP3 and even though the whole layout raised just as I intended, I still see front wheels... I drew a conclusion that there are certain verticies in 'Cockpit' section which are responsible for the position of the front wheels.
My question is: What are the EXACT numbers of these verticies. I need it in order to lower the wheels in the cockpit view.
I hope you get what I mean
I am waiting for the answers
P.S. Do you happen to know anybody from here who deals with making cockpit shapes for Grand Prix 3?
There are a few issues needing professional answers and I just don't want to litter this forum with whole lotta questions , which are not at all important to the rest of the GP3 community.

I don't think they are. 
When I edited them, the result was strange as some frontal parts of the cockpit looked like smashed with a hammer
I'll try again to indicate the correct points but if you find the answer before I do, please inform me here

The problem doesn't exist anymore I have just discovered that the points I asked about are in fact 3 and 4. I tried editing them and that's it. That's what I wanted.
I have just discovered that the points I asked about are in fact 3 and 4. I tried editing them and that's it. That's what I wanted. O.K. I will but I want to make three things clear:
1st
-This is only partially my work. I found some old cockpit on my hardware and I just made appropriate modifications making it look more like the cockpit of the 70's.
2nd
-You may think I am too self-critical but, in my opinion , this cockpit is not of very good quality.
I am not much interested in small details...I just needed a cockpit, for myself, to play with.
3rd
-Initially, I intended this cockpit to be only for my personal use and as I play GP3 in software mode ,I DON'T KNOW how it will perform in hardware.
P.S. Don't throw stones at me if you don't like it. I am completely GREEN as far as making carshapes is concerned.
I 'll post the link as soon as possible.
