F1 2011 David Coulthards Chin & Antennas Thread

[smrdibaba]

That codemasters removed visible antennas from cockpit and tv camera view...
And thy talking about simulation and realism pff...:frown:

You need to use the low-res cockpit files.
I think to do this you simply have to rename high-res to low-res, and rename low-res to high-res.

Where are the cockpit files?

 

[Paul Lock]

For every camera, there is this line:
<Parameter name="highResInterior" type="bool" value="true" />

If you change it to
<Parameter name="highResInterior" type="bool" value="false" />

You should get antennas back - although the cockpit will be low res - you must do this to every car camera.xml file.

OK. Thanks i will try this.

I don't get it why do people keep asking about that antenna. I'd rather have a neat cockpit interior with all the gizmos, than something sticking from the car and blocking the view.

 

[Crimson Machete]

Just download this useful mod, it has the antenna (not in all views, but several).

Thanks for this it worked.

 

[Christopher Brown]

We should all go n' bug CM to give us the option in-game of having the antenna enabled on high res interior.

 

[morsify]

Remove safety car,,,bring me back my antennas,,,,plsssss .

NO WAY, that is no trade. If you feel that strongly about it, stick a pencil on your computer screen!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Did anybody found a workaround how to enable David Coulthards chin in game?

 

[John Robertson]

You could lower the cockpit camera position into the floor plate

Lol

OMG this thread is funny...

 

[Marcos Paulo Gattermeyer]

I really didn't mind the antennas in 2010, to be honest I even used them to mark some brake/turning points in certain corners
And I really don't mind them gone in 2011 either, people like to make a fuss with such a small thing.

 

[Deleted member 6919]

I would actually like to see them back in with high-res cockpits, just looks cool watching them vibrate in the wind.

yeah really considering that oscillating body work is one of the few features we got this year. about the only time it is seen is during the intro trailer.

 

[Apex1972]

OK. Thanks i will try this.

so do you do this with wordpad to open the file? i just dont wanna screw the game up anymore than it already is. lol

Its not - it all looks pretty good when spectating races

so do you do this with wordpad to open the file? i just dont wanna screw the game up anymore than it already is. lol

No you need to convert the binary.xml to text and then edit in wordpad, and then convert it back.
There is a utility for doing the conversion in the mods section.

How on earth is it blocking the view... the aerials are TINY!

How this is blocking the view is way beyond me. Why some of us need them... I use them as corner/balance guides for judgement. Without them they feel alien with no sense of balance or judgment.

God, they are so thin they are like sewing needles.

 

[Deepdark]

Can I have the file converted please? (sorry my bad english, I m from Italy)
The convert program doesn't work with my computer.
I'm asking only for the camera's.xml with the antennas enlable, if is it possible
Thx very much

 

[Steve Sachse]

I found the line to enable antennas

For every camera, there is this line:
<Parameter name="highResInterior" type="bool" value="true" />

If you change it to
<Parameter name="highResInterior" type="bool" value="false" />


You should get antennas back. I tested it with the Red Bull t-cam, it works. I don't know any adverse effects with disabling highresinterior, I'll check it out. I couldn't have found it without Amfion's tips, thank you very much

What program are you using to view and edit these files? Will any free XML editor work? I'm trying to use FirstObject to open the cameras.xml files but I don't get that type of code. Do I need to convert it first?

 

[Yawama]

Yes, you need to convert them first. You can use this program to convert some xmls: http://www.racedepartment.com/f1-20...e-added-fergo-binxml-gui-frontend-binxml.html (I'm not sure if Ryder's xml converter works). Then you can view the converted files with notepad/wordpad.

I know it's a small thing, but I do want the aerials back. I was a bit disappointed that you lose the hi-res cockpits with the fix I posted.
