Short driver?

been using the 4.2 Jag in TC65 and noticed in replays that the driver appears either to be a dwarf or a child,he can hardly see over the dash!
Was wondering if there was anyway I can move him further up,to a more realistic seating position??
At least give him a chance to see where he's going poor chap

Sorry to hear your driver is Vertically challenged

I think this will help him-



Sorry, could not resist that..

This is what you need to put in .car file=
ExternalDriverPosition=(-0.39, -0.120, -0.065)

Hahahaha Excellent I'll give that a go,and the settings!

Hi Rick!
Jag MK II is one of my "best car" in GTL, I like them very much because is a classic british car, but, since I bought GTL few years ago, I don't like this head position in external view.
I did not know that was possible to change this as you teached us today!
I appreciate your help very much!
Now i have head's pilot in it's right place, and I've changed all my .car file!
Thanks for that, old friend!
Cheers!
Ney

In the .car file, look for this line:

ExternalDriverPosition=(0.366, -0.15, 0.15)

The first number (0.366) moves the driver left or right. Lower the number to move right.
The second number (-0.15) moves the driver up or down. Lower the number to mov edown.
The third number (0.15) moves the driver forward or backward. Lower the number to move forward.

Keep in mind that if you move the driver, he will no longer be aligned with his seat. You can adjust the seat in 3dsimed.

I'm with ney,I love this car,quite challenging to drive compared to the others in class
Does anybody know how much the I need to increase the middle number by??

I appreciate Splintert help, but I used the 3 Rickoshea's numbers, with helmets type 40 (see its genstring position number in .cas file).
It looks amazing, for my taste, just in the perfect place it might be!! So Nick, you can use the same middle number, with any helmet you choose! Try it and tell me!

It's quite strange as the original GTL Jag has this line=

ExternalDriverPosition=(-0.373, -0.160, -0.130)

Yet in the GTL-GTR2 mod from SCCA1981 the very same Jag number 850 has this=

ExternalDriverPosition=(-0.39, -0.120, -0.065)

Maybe one of the GTL designers had a thing for short people????

Maybe he is a fan of Ferrari F1 driver Massa... he sits so low in the cockpit it could be a child driving!

new mod for short drivers...

He looks taller than Johhny Herbert

That will go with the new mod for Old drivers...

Great news... at last I will be able to use my mod........

You guys are funny !! =)))

You guys, remind me Oliver and Hardy! Do you remember them? Hahahaha!!!
Have a very nice sunday, old friends!!

I guess I'm fatter than Rick so I'll be Oliver Hardy and he can be Stan... that's another fine mess you've got me into... mmmm mmmm!!!

Unless you weigh under 60kg then Ollie it is. mmm mmm!!

I'm heavier of course... watch you don't blow away slim
