Orpheus, that cockpit looks magnificent. Assuming the main cockpit is your work, would you share your 312 cockpit setup as an all-in-one cockpit files package? I would love to drive the 312 with these looks.

Yes, me too! That cockpit looks great!

Hi,

this is the same problem as the leon_90 cockpit! It is mostly my work, but some textures I used are from other authors! I modified the textures as close as possible to the real cockpit!
I would like publish it! But without permission.....

Well, time to make a shopping list of people to ask permission then. i asked for an all-in-one package because I'm having trouble combining some 312 mods myself.

[leon_90]

Orpheus, do like I did.
Open your own thread and start asking people for permission. I'm sure they'll grant it. Then do a credit list, a readme, pack everything up and upload. Permissions won't come by themselves and it's harder to notice your work if you present it in another thread. Start making it more visible and start asking gently for releasing your package.

Whoops, wrong Ferrari thread to post in.

Okay lads I've made an update based on the things we said in this topic ( https://srmz.racesimcentral.net/inde...31 ) and on some pics I found, editing and re-working some stuff (I haven't created any of these mips, I take no credit for it).

To the administrators, please erase all my first post (of this thread) attachments including the .zip file and point to this post for people to download my latest update. Please DON'T make this the first post of the thread, just erase the content of the first one and leave a link to this. Thank you!!

3.0 Version

Well, it is time for release

First of all, I must thank again the original creators of these mips. Without their original work, we won't have this today. Thanks for making these and allowing me to use them in my work!
Thanks also to TvO for all the help he costantly provides everytime I work on something. I must add also a sincere thank to G.Spinning and Gliebzeit to all the support and massive feedback they gave me, which helped quite a lot in finalising this work. Gliebzeit also provided me with a corrected steering wheel, allowing me to publicly release it.

Now, about this update:
my first release was not that bad but, looking at pictures from 1967, was almost completely wrong. Plus, many things could be done better. With this second release, I hope to reach a higher standard level, both in realism and cosmetic.
As you may see from pictures posted in this thread https://srmz.racesimcentral.net/inde...opic=10531&st=0 , in particular those uploaded by G.Spinning and Remy, the Ferrari 312 had black leather interior sidewalls and different gauges disposition from both my original work and what the GPLEA team delivered to us many years ago. The shifter also had a different style from the one used from 1968 on which most of us currently have in their '67 312. Moreover, there was no red rpm limiter.
So, in this update, I tried to fix all these things to give you, starting from what we already have, the best possible solution for a realistic Ferrari cockpit. Of course, and I hope it will be done one day, a scratch made work will always be better than mine, which is a re-work of other people stuff, but for now, while we wait for it, mine tries to fill this gap.

This work took quite some time, so if you like it, please consider leaving a "thank you"

Well, go ahead and try it enjoy!

I am downloading it, but from the screens it looks already superb!   Bravo,  Leon.

[John Woods]

Nice work Leon, thanks for being diligent.
A bit of fun also it seems.
Well done too.

Can't ignore that.

Thank you my friend. A proper Ferrari is always wanted by me. Excellent work.

[leon_90]

Grazie Gianfranco Thank you John, Pete and Greg!

yes Greg I was aware of that. It is an issue caused by the fact that this dash was meant to be used with the 36v Monaco type, not the 48v. The difference in cockpit shape causes this mismatch. It is not possible to 100% solve this but of course you can go pretty close to it I fixed it as best as possible, plus I tweaked some more the manometre and thermometre gauges to further refine them. Now you shouldn't see that much of mismatch anymore and gauges should be slightly easier to read.

One question : What is the file to keep objects in mirror ?
