Saveing the head position with gplshifter

[Mario]

Hello and thanks for a great tool.
One question; could you also add an way where one can save the head position in the gplshifter.ini? at the moment i have to adjust the head position everytime i enter an session in gpl.
Just some x y z coordinates one could change in the gplshifter.ini would do.

[was just wondering]

Any chance this might be done anytime?

Do you mean saving the [ DRIVER VIEW ] functions position or TrackIR?

I mean the postion of the head in the thingypit, which one can adjust with shift+arrow keys and ctrl+arrow keys.

These entries are in the gplshifter.ini:

[ DRIVER VIEW ]----------------------------------------------------------------
Up&Down = 1 ;OPTIONS: 0 1 ;EFFECT:

;0 = OFF
;1 = Move the Driver View up or down by using
; left SHIFT key with ARROW keys:
; Up = Up
; Down = Down
; Right = Not uset
; Left = Back to default position

Forward&Back = 1 ;0 = OFF
;1 = Move Driver View forward or back by using
; left CTRL key with ARROW keys:
; Up = Forward
; Down = Back
; Right = Not uset
; Left = Back to default position
;Notice: These 2 functions has no effect in LOOK
; AROUND TrackIR Vector Expansion mode.
;--------------------------------------------------

Would be very nice to make it possible to set diffrent values for it there, so that i could adjust the position once and then its saved.
At the moment i adjust the head back so that i can see the mirrors, because i use 65° Fov.

Hello Mario
I will see what I can do,but it will request lot of saved positions in .INI (or in a new .pos file), 7 Cars x 67,65,69,TC

Yes thats true, however would be wonderfull if it could be done. Once one would set his view up it would be finished, so no more switching of 3do's and adjusting, using 2d helmets and all that.
Would truely be great

I was thinking about this again,
in 9 out of 10 times in gpl i adjust the driving view with gplshifter to the same location, for example i drive a 65° fov, so that means i press the back button some times, and also go up just a bit. could you add a feature that has just 2 ini entrys, maybe backwards/forwards -/+15 clicks and up/down -/+ 5 clicks for everything?
This would save enough adjusting already.

I have to say that my opinion is that if this complicates the ini too much, it might not be worth it.

You can set the FOV angle in the ini and it takes me about 10 seconds to adjust the view in-car. Is that really that much of a nuisance?

But I suppose that if JSJ can do it easily, why not?

[Mario]

Hmm, well since i drive with the 65° fov i have to do it every session every time, it would only be 2 lines in the ini really or not?
Its like an addition to the user fov i think.

Not that i dont think this tool isnt really great, i love it, but maybe if jsj can add it easily it would be even better...
