hello community :)

i want to play GP4 on my laptop with a resolution from 1366x768.
the problem can you see in the pictures:




on screen is with 1024x768 and the other is with 1366x768.
With 1366x768, the bottom of the game is away? but why?
can i fix them?

cheers
KTC

I can't see the screenshots right now, but I think I know what you mean.

When GP4 is set to run in a widescreen resolution (such as 1366x768), it doesn't make the screen wider, instead it cuts the top and bottom of the image to fit the new aspect ratio (You can see this effect quite clearly at the release shots for F1Virtual's 2011 TV style).

There's nothing you can do to avoid this, but if you want the same visual effect as the previous resolution, you'd need to reposition all onboard cameras, cockpit angle etc.

Available resolutions are in the f1cfg file, set the first line to 1 and same for your chosen res. That should work.

Editing the camera angles to suit you is easy, just use the Team Editor 3.5 tool on [www.realgpx.com]

I *think* you can just press + or - in cockpit view to zoom in/out. Not sure about T-cam though.

On the 'Cameras' tab, X is left/right position, Y is forward/back, Z is up/down. The next three along also let you adjust the angles the camera is pointing at.

It looks from your first post that you are using the T-Cam view; that doesn't give you as many options for editing as it is meant to be attached to a fixed point.
