Knowing what you are saying has been an epiphany for me. I had no damn idea what the little colored crosses meant exactly, although I assumed they indicated some position of the head, but you having revealed it has been a game changer for me... THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 😍... you will see a Blue and Orange crosshair. The Blue crosshair is the default viewing position the developer of the mod intended. The orange crosshair is your own custom view...
Before, I would set my position in first person trying to make the position of my head coincide with that of the mod's driver and for the steering wheel to also coincide with the steering wheel on the screen... In some cases I had to make compromises to be able to have the rear view mirrors on the screen ( I use three 32-inch monitors) and while some mods more or less seemed to have a realistic view, others didn't look so good.
Today I started to reconfigure the first person view position of some cars, first adjusting (something I did before) the pitch and centering the virtual steering wheel in the center of the screen (while holding down the "alt gr" key, which draws a vertical line in the center of the screen) and then matching the crosses using the F5 point of view... and the change, in my humble opinion, is incredible: although the virtual steering wheel now seems gigantic and sometimes does not coincide in height with the real one (this doesn't matter too much to me, with the option to hide the steering wheel), the field of vision is now much more realistic... and so far I have only adjusted it in a few different types of mods: a Peugeot 308 TCR, a Formula Hybrid 2023, the fun Formula 1600 Van Diemen and the even more fun VW "Littlebird" from Masscot... Of course, this formula is not always foolproof; some mods are not of sufficient quality to make everything so easy to configure...
The only downside to this discovery is that with nearly 1200 cars (and counting) on my hard drive, I have even more work ahead of me... 😭
