Description
===========------------------------------------------------------------

  Version 2 of my Ferrari F310B cockpit, like my F310, was produced
  late in the spring of 1997 but was never publicly released. Most of
  the cosmetic improvements in this update were originally conceived
  in my F310 cockpit, and then later ported over to this design:

  	- improved wheel boss and top bar display
  	- revised main display font
  	- new gear indicator numbers
  	- new gear indicator lights and housing
  	- revised front roll-over bar
  	- high nose treatment
  

Construction
============-----------------------------------------------------------

Base		: original design from scratch
Editor(s) used	: Adobe Photoshop 4.01, Paintshop Pro 4.12
Known Bugs	: the off-white colour of the gear indicator numbers
		  and driving aid icons will appear orange at Spain
		  and Belgium, and overly bright at Monaco.
Build Time	: -


Installation
============-----------------------------------------------------------

- backup your CPITHI.PCX file in the GP2\BITMAPS directory

- copy JF310BV2.PCX into the GP2\BITMAPS directory

- rename JF310BV2.PCX to CPITHI.PCX, and you are done!


Additional Notes
================-------------------------------------------------------

  Steering Wheel Buttons:

		N (green) = neutral from 1st and 2nd gear
		S (blue) = scroll for the display screens
		R (yellow) = radio communications
		L (red) = pit lane speed limiter

		R (red) on dashboard = reverse gear
		toggle on dashboard = fire extinguisher


  The following are notes from the v1.0 readme.txt:

  The wheel is more complex than the F310. There are SIX display
  screens instead of two, and the the gearchange lights have been
  moved to the outside of the display panel. On my cockpit design
  I have a single wide display on the upper bar for the speedometer,
  but this would be divided into two displays. The gearchange and
  clutch paddles remain the same, while there are now five control
  dials, not three. This would be contained on the lower part of the
  wheel face which, unfortunately, we can't see with the depicted
  scale of the wheel in my design. These dials control the settings
  for: the engine fuel/air mixture, brake bias, rev program, drive-
  by-wire, clutch, and differential.

  Other Things ..

  For those of you that don't know the details of this design, the
  top point on the cockpit shell is actually referred to as the front
  rollover bar. '97 rules require that the cockpit sides have to be
  22cm below a line from the top of the front roll-over bar to the
  top of the rear one, while the drivers's head must be at least 5cm
  below it. The key is to get the driver's head as low as possible,
  that is why many teams have now adopted a more reclined seating
  position and the side pads don't need to be as high and bulky like
  the '96 cars. The template doesn't allow me to make the front roll-
  over bar taller, but I think it looks adequate. The bumps on the
  suspension cover give added clearance for the suspension mechanicals
  and stick out more since the car is much lower this year. Flat,
  wing profile suspension will also be the norm for many teams this
  year, so I have revised the look of the pushrods and wishbones to
  illustrate this.
