INTRODUCTION:
-------------
Hello fellow F1GP/F1GP-Ed user :)
Since registering to Oliver Roberts' great editor I have been
transforming my version of F1GP to how I've always wanted it. From
1995, aswell as updating the driver/team data, I have been
concentrating on designing a professional looking replacement
cockpit image for the game, as I hated the dated original.
I have seen many cockpits created by other F1GP-Ed users but to me
they seemed very cartoony and were inaccurately drawn, far from
what I wanted. My plan was to create a neat, realistic, fully
functioning design.
Unlike the other designs I have seen, I have attempted to simplify
the image by yellow-masking areas that are of no use. This has made
the image clearer and I feel easier to work with. These yellow
areas DO NOT DAMAGE OR AFFECT F1GP OR F1GP-Ed !!!
The cockpit includes features from the PC versions of F1GP & GP2
aswell as those devised by myself. Please note that I created this
cockpit with edited colours, so in order to use it properly you will
need to IMPORT THE IMAGE'S PALETTE INTO F1GP-Ed (V3.32 & above)
or adjust the palette editor manually. The image looks a bit shit
in the original colour scheme!!!
I have tried to emulate the palette used in the PC game IndyCar
Racing as it was always a lot more realistic than the F1GP's. I
feel they give the game a fresher, more realistic look, and the
brown colour can be used for the pitcrews skin tone :)
Enjoy!!!
(The image was created on an A1200/030/50mhz with a 1.3GIG HD & 10MB
RAM using Personal Paint 7.1)
====================================================================
Please E-Mail me with any feedback or suggestions you might have, as
I am always trying to improve the design.
New versions are usually available from the F1GP-Ed site, but I will
personally supply you updates on request.
Datafiles also available!!!
Thankyou.
