Misc Ultimate Cockpit Movement 1.6.8

[Sammy1011]

Hi guys,

Unfortunately, I'm getting no answer/solution from anybody so hope this stime somebody can help me with my request.
I would like to see the fron wheels and suspensions only - is there a way to get rid of the frame/nose?
I've tried many different camera angles but the nose/bodywork is visible all the time.
I need this view so I can use my homebuild simulator (F1 cockpit).

Appreciate your help!

Hi guys,

I'm in need of something like this but preferably without part of the nose - only the rires and suspensions will do.

Is this possible?

Hey Sammy,

I've been playing around with this and it seems quite possible to do.

You will have to consider three things - what FOV (field of view) that you want ,your seat position forward/backward and how much of the nose you want to see.

Consider these shots: The first 6 show FOV change from standard game FOV (circa 54) down to a FOV of 39. The amount of nose that shows remains static.










These next shots have a static FOV but the seat moves forwards exposing more nose cone up front:








You will have to use a combination of the above.

The examples above are triple screen 3840x1024 resolution, and what works in that aspect ratio won't necessarily work for yours.

This looks great!
Hopefully it will work.

Could you please forward those files to me (Ferrari car).

Thank you very much!

Its cull distance you want to edit.


oops wrong lol

 

[Sammy1011]

Its cull distance you want to edit.

Where can I find cull distance?

 

[Mr Pibb]

Sammy,

I wrote a guide for you here

 

[Sammy1011]

Wow, that's amazing... Really appreciated!
I'll try it out this evening.

Thanks so much for your help.

I'm getting this error message when opening Fergo...

 

[Mr Pibb]

You must extract the contents of the dowload zip or rar to a folder somewhere and run the exe file from there.

 

[Sammy1011]

Yes, working now - had to run it as administrator.
Edit: weird stuff; can't convert from txt to XML. folder where the file is converted to remains empty...

 

[Sammy1011]

Ok tried to use a different program: EGO cam editor. Unfortunately not possible to modify the nearplane:

<Parameter name="nearPlane" type="scalar" value="0.0380" />

It's just not in there... or is it?

 

[kelaroost]

When i am going through the camera by pressing C is it possible for it to print out on screen which camera name is being used so i could go and edit it?

do a screen shot I will tell you the name of it

 

[kelaroost]

If I had 3 screens I would tip them 45 degrees and edit the game so it rotates the view the same.
that way your have more view of the sky and cockpit.

Awesome Cameras.

 

[Sammy1011]

My sim but without suspensions and tires:

 

[Mr Pibb]

Sammy, that's awesome!

Why did you remove the wheels?

 

[ParkYongLee]

Man, total jelly ... if I'd have the space for this stuff ... such vids make me wanna have such things

 

[Sammy1011]

Sammy, that's awesome!

Why did you remove the wheels?

Unfortunately, only ego cam editor works properly. This allows me to change just one camera so I can't really remove the cockpit as indicated in your guide...

 

[Mr Pibb]

Sammy, that setup deserves a much better view. I'm currently on holiday on a lovely mediterranean island and won't be back until next week. But when I get back I'll send you a PM and we'll get this sorted out for you.

Awesome setup. Are you using a back projector?
