In-car views

Ok I was just wondering how you look to the rear of your vehicle to see who is behind you without hitting insert or page-up or page-down, or whatever the hell it is. Can you assign a rear view shot to a controller button?? If so, how is this possible in the game?

well, I just use mirrors :p

Well I see your point, but I dont like mirrors, and it seems to bite my framerates. Anyone know the answer? I hope it is possible.

Think its not possible. The onliest way for that is pressing the del or pagedown key on your keyboard.

No a mod was made which displays the rear in two squares at the top of the screen, with less po hit. It was made for F1 2002 but was converted to gp4 as far as I know. Thats all I know, sorry

I wonder if there is a file somewhere which stores key assignments...... If there is, I wonder if it can be edited

well, it seems this is going to be a project here. and BTW, what is PO?? I've been seing it and I am new to the terms of GP4.

Gpxpatch can edit key assignments

PO= Processor Occupancy. It is displayed as a percentage in-game in GP4 (by holding 'o' and shows how much load is being placed on your processor. The faster your processor - the lower the percentage - the faster your GP4 wil run

Remember to take 20-50-ish off cos the yellow GP4 pop-ups add on to the PO

there has to be a way!!!! Anyone know code?

hmmm...interesting idea about camera editing
how bout a left and right view on for the T-cam, coz this view is only for the cockpit view... it'll be nice to have this kind of view in the T-cam, just like the one in F12002

great idea IMO. I still want to have controller assignments. I use a wheel and its kinda hard to see who is behind you when you have to take your hand off the wheel to press a key, let alone find the key 1st. In F1 you can assign buttons, which GP4 is lacking bigtime. Hope someone has an answer for me soon.

If you tweak your graphics.cfg you can let the mirrors show only the cars instead of the whole track and cars behind you. That should not cause much PO loss.

Yeah thats true actually. Altho (thankfully) you can now turn off sky messages in the .cfg files - I used to get a massive PO hit with em on!

Well it looks like this cannot be done, according to what I am reading here. I wonder if anyone is up for a challenge?? Anyone wanna make a program that does just what I requested?? Any takers?? Seeing as how it is probably very hard to do, I dont expect much of a response.

Ok here is an update, I no longer need htis program, because this program already is installed on my PC and I didnt even know it!!! Hows that for a laugh!! What a way to end a post, huh?? Incase you were wondering, it's called Wingman software from Logitech. You can assign key commands to buttons.......DOH!! Thanx for any help you guys gave me.

I use a Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad.....any help for me there, in getting the above to work?
