The Ring-Taxi by Mayo.... a strange thing

[Neuronemarcio]

I downloaded this wonderful car, but I found a problem and I don't know if this depends on my pc or something wrong in the game Setups; anyhow, in the cockpit view of the car the speedometer is disabled and I can't see how fast
I'm going... is this a problem bound to my pc or a 'bug' of the Mod Car? Among the game hotkeys with the number 3 of my keyboard I can lock or unlock the speedometer but in this case it doesn't work... I encounterd the same strange thing with the Lambo cockpit view....

can anybody give some explanations or suggestions???

Thanks a lot

I have the same ''problem'' in the BMW RingTaxi.

I quess he disabbled it.

And that Speedo in the Lamborghini, well SimBin says that the real car doesn't have one, so that also their car doesn't have one.
But I know a real Lambo racing driver.
And he says that there is one in the 2004 Reiter Lambo.

So this is what you have to do to get a speedo in the 2004 Murcielago's...

Open the .CAR file with notepad, it can be found here:
\GTR2\GameData\Teams\GT\Lamborghini Murcielago Teams\Team Name

Now in the .CAR file look for this:

DigitalDisplays=1
Display1Instance=MOTEC
Display1ModesPos=(23,-6)
Display1ModesParams=SMALL,CENTER
Display1RPMLights=6
Display1RPMLightsRange=(5500,7500)
Display1GearParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1GearPos=(35,10)
Display1LapTimeHeadingParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1LapTimeHeadingPos=(170,100)
Display1LapTImeParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1LapTimePos=(280,100)

And replace it with this...

DigitalDisplays=1
Display1Instance=MOTEC
Display1ModesPos=(23,-6)
Display1ModesParams=SMALL,CENTER
Display1RPMLights=6
Display1RPMLightsRange=(5500,7500)
Display1GearParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1GearPos=(35,10)
Display1FuelHeadingParams=SMALL,CENTER
Display1FuelHeadingPos=(325,80)
Display1FuelParams=SMALL,CENTER
Display1FuelPos=(325,80)
Display1SpeedHeadingParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1SpeedHeadingPos=(130,80)
Display1SpeedParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1SpeedPos=(130,80)
Display1LapTimeHeadingParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1LapTimeHeadingPos=(170,100)
Display1LapTImeParams=LARGE,CENTER
Display1LapTimePos=(325,120)

This makes a speedo and a fuel meter on the 2004 Lambo Motec.

Greets of the Dutchie.

I know that. It's actully a bug that comes from PHP that made the original CSL, and i just did'nt know how to fix it. So intead I paited it black to make it fade in to the rest of the interior. If I want a gear counter or those things, I use the HUD. It's a stupid bug, i know, but it was just a fun little afternoon project, that i wanted to share:)

gtrNL, I want to thank you because now Lambo cockpit works fine ( I can't believe that racing Lambos have not a speedometer.... it's just like a runner should face a long distance without shoes....:cry: :cry: )

Mayo, your Mod is fantastic, and that 'bug' is not relevant....
Keep on this way, dude....:up: :up:

Bye bye from Italy.:D :D

Hello to anybody. Some weeks ago Mayo wrote that the bug concerning the disabled speedometer in the cockpit view can not be fixed. Anyhow, I've noticed this:
if I edit in the .car file the 'Graphics' string making it to point to the original .cas file (BMW_M3GTR.cas- in the main folder of BMW Teams). the Ring-Taxi has now a wing just like GTR BMW version but the speedometer is working fine. I don't know if this can be so important (I'm sure Mayo already knows about this strange behaviour of GTR2), but in this way the cockpit view is complete.

I also have the same prob with my drift mod that I'm working on
I removed the wing from a few vipers to make them look like streetcars
and the motec isn't working, but I fixed it ;)

Just put a texture of a broken LCD screen on the motec :D
looks cool and original to
