racer switch off
I´d like to ask if there is some way to switch off the racer in the car...to let him/her not to be visible during the race...
I´d need it very much for my video...

thx for replies

i hope there werent similar topic but i havent found it.
Yes, there is a way, though I'm not sure exactly where you can do it. I'm at work now, so can't check. Look in the Options menu, then go to Screen, or Display or something... it's in Dutch with me so I don't know the exact name. There's an option to enable/disable the drawing of the driver's arms. I assume that's what you mean?

Other people will always see the driver in your car, there's no option to disable that.
Options >> View >> driver [Off/On] / wheel [Off/On]

This will only work in cockpit view and custom view.

In TV view, follow and heli views the driver will always be visible and cannot be removed.

Hopefully in custom view you can get the view you require for your video. The only other option is really dark tinted windscreens.
this isnt exactly what i need...i wanna make a video with LX6 and i want driver not to be there...but as you say obsolum the complete removing of racer isnt possible...

Delete all the driver models? I don't know if this works, though.

Remember to back them up.
Ok, so I just had a go. The method I tried was using a custom cockpit camera and turning the driver off. The driver appears if the camera is too far away from him; but you can get quite far away from the driver before he reappears. See attachment.

i ll try to delete those driver models although i dont exactly know which files i should delete...

thx very much for trying...but the racer always appears in shift+u mode which is bad for me...
Yes, sorry, my method doesn't work in shift U mode.
The human body files are in the folder ../lfs/data/hmn/

You can only stop the helmet.sre from loading. The helmet; this results in headless zombies in game.

You cannot remove the hmn.hmn file. LFS won't load and you get the "could not load humans" error.

thats quite bad okey i ll have to do it with humans bodies...but the idea of zombies headless racers isnt bad

or there can be way to make invisible racer...that all textures will be transparent...if it is possible

I don't recall if the suits use a DDS texture now or not, but if they do then it is possible via alpha channels.
i m total dummass in these things so dont border to explain me something
if I do something with it, I ll have to ask someone to do it for me
Example ../lfs/data/pic/SUITB.jpg (driver suit files) are JPGs so cannot be made transparent.
that all sucks never mind...
