Before you buy.
yes, and there is a such thing as too damn big! I have a 120" screen and it
doesnt look to scale. I tried adujsting my projector to 70" (the lowest it
goes) and it still looked big. I want a picture size that will give me the
actual size, I think papy didnt make the in car view very well, The tracks
look to scale at 120" but the cockpit sure doesnt. The cockpit looks like
it takes up several lanes which makes me hit the wall all the time. Does
anyone know what program I need to modify the cockpit to make it more to
scale of real stock car?
Go here, to the GPLEA pages:

You can get different cockpit views that are not only narrower, which
is what your looking for, but the view is from a slightly higher
point, which improves visability. They are available for all cars.
I'm using them all. The site is a little confusing so really probe
around.

Yes I often play GPL on my Video Projector ( sharp ), the screen is
1m45x1m10.
Fortunately the V.P. is on ceiling position so i don't see my head shadow
on the screen and
the screen is low enough so the driving position is the same that on my PC
monitor.
I really think it's improve the driving skill cause your IN the car :),
with FF wheel it's really great.
No what i need is a incurved screen :) ( joke ! ).
And a new appartament, the VP is only 2 meters far away of the screen and
zoom at max.For playing
it's wide enough but i want to have 2meter wide for movies , i use my VP
especially for home-theater.
regards,
Seb
