Missing speed and tach. pointers!

[Howard Motz]

This maybe an old issue? I just installed the digital on Windows 7. I'm also using SofthTH on three screens. Many of the tach or speedometer pointers are missing? Usally only the one on the left side of the instrument panel? Some cars aren't missing either one. I'm using a Nvidia card. Latest drivers. Is this common? Any fix? Thanks

Generally you can toggle the needles on and off with the "3" key (I think) along the top of the keyboard (NOT the key pad on the right).

Apparently this is still a problem in 2022. The "3" key didn't fix the problem for me.

Is this with any cars or just some? Have you run gtlconfig to set basic graphics options?

Although I haven't tried every single car, I have tried it with about a dozen cars and it happens on every one of those. I have re-run gtlconfig to no avail.

Upon more investigation, I found that the setting "Show Dials in Cockpit" in the .PLR file was set to 0. Setting it to 1 and restarting gtl fixed the problem.

Lol, we always overlook the obvious. (We'll not discuss the afternoon I spent trying to adjust a TV antenna ....that wasn't connected.)
