Please don't double post, and don't make threads where one already exists. This is your last warning. Check your PM.

The answer to your question is to use the (/ key) key on your number pad. This will backup the camera just enough to view your gauger's, and dash-board. Your driving device doesn't matter. Nice touch of giving a picture to help with your question. Not many people do that.

Are you using a different map in the picture? The icons seem more spread out.

The map has 4 different views using the (ctrl+tab) keys. The view he uses I use quite frequently.

Hi,

I just recently bought the game via Wildtangent (download)

And since i have 2 23" widescreen monitor i was looking forward to get a nice set up of the game on both screen

but as of now haven't been able with my nvidia app to get the game to be perfectly split on 2 monitor's

Is there anybody that could help me get a nice mutli monitor set up?

using an app or even some external hardware.

Thanks

Hi!

I have been playing for a couple of months and everything was working great but now i have updated my drivers for my Radeon 4890. And the wheels have disappeared and the cab interior is messed up.

I re-installed the game (did'nt help) and then I rolled back the driver but the wheels are still gone.

Any body know what I can do?

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Have you tried un-installing & re-installing it after you updated your driver?
