I was wondering what it would look like, taking a "screen"shot while i drove my car.

Well something like this ... Grin

Note: there was no traffic on my side and there was a seperation ( concrete) from the other side. The shot was taken by my girlfriend, she only had to held the camera in front off my chest.

I think it look out of this world ...

Interesting shot...but that 2D panel has to go in favour of a VC.

This demonstrates perfectly why I've always had a problem with 2D panels in FS. The view is from the approximate area of your chest, not as you would actually see it yourself. Nobody drives (or flies) constantly looking at the panel or studying gauges. They wouldn't get very far if they did. Roll Eyes

He's only doing about 70 MPH...

I recall a couple of Pontiacs had HUDS as well...just founda shot of the current Pontiac Grand Prix...with it's HUD in "Stealth Mode"! Check it out in the gallery at http://www.pontiac.com/grandprix/gallery.jsp?brand=grandprix&pagename=models_pri...

Quite the gimick that Stealth Mode.

To reassure you: one may go 120 km/h over there.

The fastest i ever drove her was 170 km/h - 110 miles/h, in Germany.

It isn't a hell off a car. it has 68 HP, it speeds up like a snail. But once its gone, it drive quite good. Would like another 68 HP though Grin

Perhaps my next car... an Audi A3 - 2.0 TDI ( 136HP) would be nice .... Aaah dreams ...

when you go 170 here in belgium and they catch you, you are screwed. when you really have bad luck, they show it on tv as well Undecided

(which is quite funny sometimes)

To get an idea of how Ozzy would drive your car, follow these simple steps...

Stand up.

Stand on your hands.

Look at your monitor.
