Full Version: Improved, car-specific dashboards
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
This is going to be a lot of work, so I thought I'd open a new topic to discuss it. To add the in-car dashboards, we're going to need:

1) better lighting inside the car so you can actually see stuff
2) steering wheels separated from the car models so they can rotate independently
3) driver models separate from the car models so they can be hidden when you're in a cockpit view
4) hand/arm models to draw holding the wheel when you're in a cockpit view
5) some way of defining all of the dashboard graphics
6) an example car where we can test adding dashboard graphics, a rotateable steering wheel model, rotateable hands, etc

This might not make it into the next release, especially if we get sound bugs sorted out and a rally track in short order.[/list]
