Disappearing of pitcrew and track marshalls

Hello everybody,

I have a strange problem when i let the f1graphics file control all settings (without any further modifications of the f1graphics file) the pitcrew and track marshalls are not visible anymore ingame. Is this a game related bug or can i solve it with a change somewhere in the f1graphics file?

Thanks in advance and cheers

well, i have the same problem with some tracks. in tv cam i can´t see the pitcrew push the car into pitbox. with cockpit cam the crew is there.
i always was thinking it has something to do with the drawing distance in f1graphics file, but never had time to play around and change something...
...same with marshals, when waving a (yellow or green)flag. sometimes they only hold a stick...

i have the problem also and then i remove my f1graphic file and f1gstate file. Then ingame you need to recalibrate your settings again and they are back.

hmmn, do you put your old settings again in a new f1grafix or make a new one ? (with control all setings =1).
anybody tried to change the range of drawing distance?

matt

you need to go into the graphics options in game and set pit crew level to high, if you set it low they will disappear, and you will only see one pit crew

i recalibrate the ingame settings again and then i adjust the f1graphic file again to what my old settings were in the new calibrated one and it works again.

guys sorry to disturb you all but if im not mistake you have to edit this line in f1 graphics:



" Animation rendering mode. (0 - cheap lighting, 1 - proper lighting, 2 - VS) v2"


put it 0 or 1 and test using all the other higher options you use okay ( as you said are passing by this problem using high-res options) then prolly it'll be working now, using 2 as option tends to cause this problem !

@ ralv: this could be the trick, but if you let control f1gfx all settings, this change will do nothing. i got my pit-crew-level at highest.

@steven: how often do you recalibrate...

@rodrigo: your suggestion could be it, but what is with =2 ? i got mine on =1...

matt

well had the problem only a few times and it helped this way but i think rodrigo has the solution so i won't have to recalibrate anymore when my pitcrews are striking ingame

do they have a pit-crew-workers-association ?!

matt

yeah

yeah the solution that Rodrigo gave, has worked fine for me in the past...

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for the golden tip, it solved my problem.

Only there are two problems still left:


1. The pitcrew is syill not visible with tv cams.

2. When you're doing a run where you start from the garage box and you drive for Minardi or Prost you won't see the pitcrew that makes the car ready for a run, with the other teams they are just visible in cockpit and t-cam view.


Thanks in advance and cheers
