Bike/rider spin (button) in the Bike Viewer

How about adding the option to make the bike + rider spin? Something like this without the initial fade-in/zoom-out effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUdcQT8ukZw

I think a bit slower spin would look better.

Could be a button on the bar at the bottom which activates/deactivates it. I imagine it wouldn't take long to implement and would add a nice feel to the Viewer.

Or alternatively, maybe the bike could spin next to the stationary rider who's a bit further away. This would be even cooler as the shadows on/from the bike would change constantly.

All this wouldn't improve the sim side of GP Bikes but I'd definitely use it instead of a screensaver :)

HI D, you can do it manually already but I think we could make a screensaver if you want, maybe try it when you come over.

Hi DD,

No much point manually making a screensaver as we'd need to make an individual screensaver for each nice bike :)

The best motorcycle "screensaver" I've found, at least to my taste, is the bike selection screen in Tourist Trophy on the PS2. Well, not a screensaver but something nice to look at when glancing at a screen. Have some classic bike spinning for a while, get a bit bored of it, select a scooter... it's a gallery of about 130 bikes, not counting the different paint layouts. Well it's nothing special really but I like it quite a lot. GP Bikes in HD with 16x AA could look way better, it just needs a little spin and replacing the black void with a room of some kind.

On my MacPro I have a bunch of old screen shots from Tourist Trophy and when my computer goes to sleep that is my screen saver.

I made a GP Bikes screensaver ages ago but only stills from racing

I have a screenshot of the bike viewer from GPB as my desktop backround!
