"If I can remember correctly, only DC had the red t-cam... is it possible to have a different coloured t-cam for both drivers, or would that require far too much time and effort?"
i can make a different colour t-cam for kimi's car too, it doesn't exactly require 2 gigajoules of energy
@LarryM
I submitted the shape to gpgames.org ages ago and it still hasn't been released, even when other work has been published. I don't know if there's something wrong with my account or sumthin, but someone doesn't like me for some reason
. I'm sure it'll be up soon though

This one is virtually the same as the last except there's less in the mirrors for cockpit and T-cam. Virtually nothing except v.low detail cars that appear around one car length and a half (enough to know what's going on behind)
Before I was using 35fps now using 44fps (rec60). PO around 80-100 at starts depending on weather and that's with most car LOD's being the first for all:D
Also setting the detail level to 1 instead of 0 lowered PO.
If your getting poor performance and have been using the same f1gstate for a while, it can get clogged up with conflicting information i'm sure. Try deleting it and starting a new one.
Oh, and the Saubers have been uploaded to GPGames.org so you can add a pair of C22's

GP4 runs the graphics test in t-cam view, while the cockpit view uses a bit more resources. Try this: as soon as the test starts, quickly hit <cursor right> to switch to cockpit and let the test run in this view, the suggested frame rate will be closer to what you actually need if you drive usually from the cockpit (particularly if you have different mirror settings for onboard cams/cockpit view).
If you play with different cams while running the test, you'll also notice that the top-front cam gives the lowest PO/highest framerate by a big difference (because there's no rendering of your car, mirrors, tyres, steering wheel etc), so it's worth giving it a try if you cannot get high enough framerates in the cockpit or t-cam views, it's a way to enjoy driving with higher detail settings for the track and other cars. The front cam gives a very good speed feeling too, I would use it more often if only it didn't require hitting 10 times the PgUp key to get to it, that's a shame
Also, I have found that a good test to make sure that that GP4 is performing well is to use a chronometer to check against the lap times or any time display in the game. So after all your graphics tweaking, do this final test in a race with a full grid and wet weather, and if the the PO peaks too high, the in-game time display gets slower. On the other hand, when the program is running smoothly, its timers are accurate to the point that can be checked with a chrono in your hand (a couple of 1/10 s). If you find that the in-game chrono is, say, 2 secs late after a 5 min period, then you know that performance is not optimal. Or in other words, you may find that your fastest 1'14.657" or whatever lap actually took a few secs longer to drive!
Bear in mind that, since the circuit length always remains the same, a longer driving time means less actual speed, no good when you want as close a simulation as possible.

Sauber C22 : Me
Helmet positions next. Does anyone know if it's possible to get external wheels specific for all cars or is there one wheel for all??
Wad ready in ten minutes!!

[www.richardavery.f2s.com] - same as above
And the helmets are right for Mclaren.

I've sorted all the helmets using Raymond Smits helmets clear visor Same link.
Same link.Thanks again, appreciated
