[WIP] F1 Dash Panel
Posted by ChrisJ
Hello guys!
Here's a little gimmick I've been using personally for some time now. I've reworked it and thought I'd show you and hear if you'd like it to be released.
This panel recreates the displays that all F1 teams use on their steering wheel respectively the dash in cockpit. It shows revs/gear/speed and features a possibility to toggle between several infos like current lap, fuel or water temp to be shown on the right little LCD. Moreover it signals track/flag status with the triangled LEDs and warns you about low fuel or any mechanical failures.
This is something to spoil the waiting time for my 2011 revcounter a little bit.
I'm currently evaluating an online script to create the appropriate ini. So everyone can configure the key-revs for the LEDs to go on and off in an easy way and choose the position for the panel.

Maybe you can put it close to the st. wheel
I think 1986/88 mods have something like this on the painel.

@ Bigbrother: Of course it would be possible to make it transparent, just wondering about it's purpose. I'm thinking of downscaling it a bit but it shouldn't be really distracting your view anyway.
@ ooleeeo: Yep, it's for GPxPatch.
@ kerleyf1: I've been having a look at those mods. Indeed it was put into the cockpit there however in GP4 the cockpit is moving as you go into a corner. Those panels/displays would be fixed though. That would be the limitation but it's possible to snap it to the dash or the steering wheel of course.
As I said, I'm currently setting up a little script so everyone can create his personal ini and adopt rev-lighting according to personal likings.

Well maybe if you have time you can make also a more transparent version so we can choose, only a request/suggestion
