Hand Brake Action in Cockpit view?

[murph_fan51]

With the handbrake (yes, thats what this topic is about!) it could be done but there will be a slight lag time (of cause) just like the gearshifts but its not really noticeable. I think it can be done. I just think the cockpit view is the best thing since GT1, so I like to see it well done, and improved to include this!!!

Apologies, i meant GT5.

So you shouldn't be reversing if your nose to nose with someone who has spun? It happened to me on monday night in a Rfactor League race so dont say it doesnt happen.

Also you shouldnt be reversing if you are nosed up to a wall on a street circuit? (ie no runoff).

Its very unrealistic to drive you car into a wall and scrape it all the way along it just to rejoin the track.

Ok, I think my point is getting mixed up here in the crossfire.. Now Im not saying you as a race driver will not and should not ever reverse if you race... I am, as previously stated in an earlier post, thinking along the lines of the GTP OLR... Where it states you shouldnt even be reversing at all... and thats probably also why I still think reverse lights are unnecessary... but Im not trying to hate or push my point in your face.. I just find it unnecessary... So to each his own and we'll see what gets put into the game 👍

15: Re-entering to the track after running off:


A:
It is the responsibility of the car returning to the track to ensure there are no collisions so that no other drivers have to maneuver or brake suddenly to allow you to resume racing. If there's a chance of a collision, wait and be patient as other drivers have the right of way.

B:
An off track incident includes:

Being stuck or pinned to a wall or railing.
More than two tires leaving the track at any one time
Any situation where the car may lose control and create cross traffic

C:
Do not reverse back onto the track unless it is necessary. If you are backing up away from a wall first look around you to avoid a collision and as the collision would be your fault.

D:
Re-enter the track parallel to the road, slowly and gently, and always with great care. This gives you the best opportunity to see what’s coming up the track behind you, and it also gives drivers coming up on you the best chance to orientate themselves to your situation.

I DID mention something about the hand brake eariler in a post.. Sorry for getting off topic...

...Lets see if we can get back on topic...

I think the handbrake animation should ATLEAST be in the WRC part of GT5... I guess for track racing it would really be necessary unless youre drifting

<offtopic>Blitz - I had a pack of Top Trumps back in the day - and the best car in the pack was your avater</offtopic>

The other thing that I noticed was that flappy paddle gear changes don't happen either - only actual gear stick changes.
