Hi lads,


in these last few days I have worked on a new layout for 65 Mod.
The 65 Mod, in fact, makes use of only some mod specific menus while the rest are taken from your standard 67 layout. My layout is Fully 65 Mod Specific. It will install new menus which will work only in your 65 mod installation and won't overwrite other mods layouts! The only menu I have not changed is the Main Menu since I find it very good already and it did not need any update in my opinion.

I have updated also teams' pictures and drivers' pictures, together with adding new newspapers' pictures for non-championship races shipped with the 65 Historical Update. However,  while drivers and newspapers pictures are fully 65 Historical Update compatible, I have added specific options so that you may install my new drivers pictures even if you do not have the Historical Update installed but just the standard 65 Mod.

This entire layout is made in a Black&White style, differently from my 69 updated layout which was in colors. Colors are british green and lemon yellow, in honor to the Lotus, winner of 1965 championship!

Inside the folder I am uploading you'll find all possible options I could imagine for your installation of my updated 65 layout or for an eventual uninstallation of it.

In the following 4 posts I'll upload previews, please wait the sixth post to comment

Enjoy!

Team,

I took the bold step to bolt on another two monitors to my ATI 7870, the process includes getting an active display port adapter for to allow 'eyefinity' (three screens from the one card.)

It took time and a little fiddling around and I got all the way to the last setting under the Graphics section in GEM+.  I've set the 'custom resolution' in Rasters but no matter what I do, it won't show the option in the Graphics drop down.  The aim from what I've read is to use OGLV2, I've tried the others to no avail.

The work around is to edit the 'Player.ini' file outside of GEM+ and this makes GPL run on three screens using the GPL.exe, however this missing all the benefit of add-ons like 60fps and FFB.

If anyone has a direction on this, it would be great - the target resolution is 3840x1024, but it would be the same for any intended resolution.

Happy Easter and thanks in advance, and I'll post up progress.

Brett.

Hello. I noticed that AI cars at Silverstone and Hockenheim (in this case F2 Mod) have suicide tendencies: usually the left car on the last row at Silvestone, with 66 Mod, 67 Historical Mod etc., goes on the grass just after the start and sometimes crashes into the bridge, sometimes comes back on the tarmac and continues without problems. Have you noticed that? At Hockenheim by Mark Daniels and F2 Mod, the situation is definitely worse: almost everytime I start a race, AI cars cut the track at Nordkurve or at the straight towards Ostkurve during lap1 and crash into walls, fences or invisible objects... Is there any solution? Thanks!

Hi there. I just installed the 1966 mod and on some cars (McLaren and all the Brabhams), the cockpit view seems too high, as shown on the attached picture, so the mirrors are almost cut in half. Any idea? Thanks.

Hi lads,

I am trying to use FaceTracknoIR with GPL but I'm having bad luck. I installed all drivers and GPLShift latest version. Problem is, the tracking works randomly every now and then. Sometimes I fire GPL and tracking works, sometimes it doesn't. All this without an understandable reason. I left only two axis, Pitch and Yaw, I loaded custom settings, I re-checked all drivers. Nothing. It works but randomly. Sometimes yes sometimes no. Anyone with FaceTrack or TrackIR can help me?
