Cockpit Views

[hobbs]

Do all cars have cockpit views? I am a big race sim fan and just can't play with hood cam or helicopter view...

 

[Nitrof1]

Nissan GT-R Proto doesnt have a cockpit cam.

 

[STJ88]

The GTR proto doesn't have a cockpit because the real one doesn't have one.

 

[Tenacious D]

I'd use the cockpit view if I could put the camera where I wanted. Even on my larger Bravia, the view is too letterboxed.

Since when does the GTR not have a cockpit view? It most certainly does in my game; right hand drive, PD developed information display and everything.

Even the TMS demo had the cockpit view of the GTR, after it was unveiled. As stated, the Prototype does not feature the cockpit view.

Many of us are faster using the bumper cam with the gauges front and center. I find the cockpit view to obstructive.

I think the camera needs to be moved forward a bit. It's not quite as bad as other games' backseat cockpit views, but it's not perfect yet.

I don't know about you guys, but when I drive, I do not see my arm shifting. As well, the gauges should be at the very bottom of the screen and nothing below them. That would give more of the screen to the track.

It would be nice if we have the option to position the camera within the car.

The GT-R has one, but they arn't talking about the GT-R, they're talking about the GT-R Proto. The one you win for completing the S-Class races.

I can't verify that because I've never driven the GT-R Proto, but it's not the same car as the GT-R that you buy.

And in the TMS demo the Prototype had no interior but once the prototype was replaced with the production GT-R, it had an interior.

It is a shame that the prototype doesnt have an interior view. I think the exposed wiring and other unfinished bits would be awesome to see ingame. Guess Ill have to wait for the race cars for the truly awesome interiors.

Hopefully GT5 will have more superlights (Caterham, Donkervoort, Ariel) so I can see the exposed machinery from the interior view)

no shifing of the arm onboard???strange ,by me the arm does shift and heard nobody else talk about this....strange!!....i use onboardview after i got used to it, it beats bumpercam cause it does "feel" better ,it makes me feel mutch more in contact with the car,and the onboard car/engine sounds are mutch more realistic(surround sound)than the bumpercam where somehow i miss some sound effects.....for instance when i drive the f430 the engine sounds onboard clearly come from the back of the car as with the bumpercam view on the sounds are mutch more "around" as supost to coming from the right areas.......but this is ofcourse a personal preference

the reason the arm dosnt shift is because the car has "flappy paddles"behind the wheel.

"My" [real] arm, when I drive [my real car].

Yes, I know the driver in the game shifts gears. In fact, he "tells" us when we need to shift by moving his hand to the shifter.

I'm sorry I was not more clear.

Do you understand now what I was trying to get across?

I would like for us to have free range of the camera, that way we can put it in a position that accurately resembles what we see when we are driving our real cars. The dash, wheel, and gauge cluster should be at the very lowest portion of the screen. At least that's how I would have it.

With the option to have the HUD in the middle of the screen. I don't like having to look over to the side of the screen to see the HUD.

[insane]There is no arm! [/insane]

So the Prototype hasn't got any internal view at all? "Just" the nose cam i take it? Been reading other forums too much, some people say that it does have a interior view and some are... Yeah confusing.

All cars have cockpit view...... simple!

The GTR Proto in the GT5P demo did not because it hadn't been officially launched.... thats the only one.

[j8mie]

Silly question but which side of the car is the steering wheel?

Am I right in thinking that it depends on where the car comes from. For example the GTR is Japanese and they drive on the left (the correct side) so the steering wheel is on the right. Where the F430 has it's steering wheel on the left because the Italians drive on the right.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

It's on the right side of the car, it's the Japanese model.

There is a Skyline Concept car, badged as Infiniti, that is a left hand drive.

 

[amar212]

I'd like to see the cockpit of the Nike Car.

Well no, the 2005 Nissan GTR Concept does not have a interior in the full GT5P.

Robin

The GTR Proto in GT5P demo was the black mask, which is like the production model with a mask. The 05 GTR (no interior) was just the Tokyo motorshow edition which is different to the production version and blackmask.

GT-R Proto doesnt have cockpit cam in GT5 Prologue(Full)
I own that car it doesnt have..simple

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Get in your car(s), hit SELECT and if the in-car view comes up, well, that pretty much says it has an in-car view.

All of this bickering is because Nissan has nameplate issues. Man, just wait til we get 79 Skylines and each one is different in some sort of insignificant way, maybe.

They've got a Skyline with a frickin' Infiniti badge on it!!!!

 

[Robin]

Oh right OK, I got the black mask confused with the one in GT5P, my apologizes, everything other than that has interior view.

 

[Dave A]

You'd think they'd just give the GTR-Proto the GT-R's interior though wouldn't you. That'd be better than none becase the Proto didn't have one.

 

[Nitrof1]

no prob dude
btw I dont know is it wort to open a new thread ask my question so I'm asking it here

is there any way to get GT-R blackmasked version in GT5p?

cuz I am very sure that in a Superclass Event I've finished third and then I look at the results and there wrote GTR blackmasked at first place

 

[Turbo91GT]

I think there are 2 races that have the black mask GT-R in them, but I don't think anyone has found out a way to get it. I have all golds, every car, max credits, and you don't get anything extra.

same here

actually I've thought if I finish all one make races in first place I'll get another bonus car but nothing happend in the end

 

[Turbo91GT]

Yeah, I was expecting something too. That Lotus one make race was a pain.

Nope, I've finished all golds and you don't get it.
