OWR 07 or V8 Indy Cars NEED A WHEEL!!
« on: 12/07/10, 08:33 PM »
Hey does anyone know where I can find a good Indy car wheel with all the gauges on if for Indy Cars?  The one that is in the cockpit rightnow does not have any gauges on it.

I should make myself more clear.

I need a wheel in the cockpit to show up with the proper guages and I need to know where I can find a cockpit wheel or dash for the Indy Cars.

If I remember correctly, neither mod was ever designed to have gauges...just idiot lights ~ like real Indy cars. There really isn't a whole lot of room in an Indy car cockpit as it is. Since there's such a huge lack of dash space, I don't believe anyone has ever tried to stuff gauges in there. Even if you could get gauges in there, they might end up being too small to easily read anyway.

iirc the original open_wheel_racing_1024 (think that was what it was called, the very first one using PTA physics, not to be confused with OWR05) had gauges in the cockpit, but they were really small.

It came with the mod. If you aren't seeing the wheel, it may be that you don't have it selected in the Graphics Options Manager. At the main load screen of NR2K3 press the 'Options' selection (4th down on the right) and then the 'Graphics' tab. Under 'Features' on the right the very 1st selection is 'Steering Wheel'. If that isn't selected then you won't see the wheel.
Does that fix it?

the bottom image is the OWR07 wheel, top one V8ICS, you can't swap the wheels between mods, they are inbuilt to the 3do.

Thanks guys I turned the wheel on and this has worked for the wheel to show up in the cockpit with the idiot lights.   But it doesn't give you much information on whats going on with the car.
