Have it under Custom Parts menu, Let it cost like a fraction, ie. 15%, of whichever premium car you choose full price in credits to customize or modify your existing standard cockpit. You can use more limits like say the premium car can't cost more than 2x of the standard car you are modifying. That way people are rolling around with top of the line car's cockpits in their cheapo honda, ho ho.

Or not use any limits, either way.

Limit could also be like hondas only get honda cockpits, and chevy's only get chevy. Or limit them by country, IMO that'd be pretty cool.

Or again, don't use any limits.

Thank you
Ryan, or Smackinjuice... really need to change that gamer tag...
 
Well if they did that, the interiors would be quite inaccurate. That's like something Gameloft does for its GT Racing games on iOS and Android. I'd rather have the blacked out interior than an inaccurate one.
 
I use cockpit view so I would prefer if the standard cars were deleted from the game.

Failing that put them in a separate area so they don't clutter up the dealership.
 
Yeah, car manufacturers not only have to tolerate that their cars are so badly represented, now, they're gonna have to deal with an interior from another car maker, lol. bad idea.
 
another problem would be getting the interior to fit all cars, they could make a few generic interiors for different size cars but they would be wasting their time.
 
Agreed. With very little effort, every MX-5 (first generation), R32, R33 and R34 Skyline could have been made Premium.
I made a list of cars in the GT5 forum (which I can't find) which has a standard and a premium counterpart. The list came up to around 500 cars if PD decided to copy and paste the exteriors and interiors (albiet with modifications if necessary).

Edit: I found it, and it's actually in the GT6 forum: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/standard-cars-in-gt6.260344/page-6#post-7441524

The list makes for very interesting reading. Although duplicate cars is not a necessarily agreeable decision (bulking up the car count, for instance), I'm sure people would have a lot less of a problem with it if the cars were as well-rendered as Premiums. I mean, there's little incentive to buy a Skyline GT-R (R34) '99 over the V•spec II Nur version, but if it has no interior, worse exterior detailling, and more limited visual tuning options in GT Auto, there's even less of a reason to choose it.
 
A car that reminds me how weird pd is is the s2000, you go to car info and it goes, the first gen was introduced in ,bla bla bla, then whenever they did something and became a new model, bla bla bla, second gen bla bla , ultimately leading to a xyz spec... So you'd expect the 4 cars mentioned in the description in game, right? Wrong....
Shame because its a car that has both a "standard" and a tuned premium interiors (amuse)
Edit for on topic
for the std interiors, a simple motec style or a generic dash like dephi jp sells for racing/road cars instead of the graphs currently would make me almost forget they are std...
 
A lot of duplicates have different interiors according to the descriptions.

Hence "very little effort". The time it would take to alter the interiors (steering wheels, seats, colours etc.) would be relatively minimal compared to modelling a whole new car. Obviously, something like the Falken GT-R Race Car would have a very different interior to a road-going Skyline GT-R R34, but all the "normal" R34s could be built upon the base of the existing Premium version. Then again, the example shows two cars that are the same model (both Skylines) but could never be classed as duplicates.
 
All I want for standard cockpits is to see the bonnet of the car like in GT PSP.
Now the cockpit is just a black border. Driving the Mercedes VGT or a Viper like that is just completely unconvincing.
 
The solution is rather simple.

1 - Do cockpits like GTPSP (like Skimblecat said above), let us see proper mirrors, bonnet, etc
2 - Simply copy paste the existing premium interiors to the standard versions of the same car: Paste R33 dashboard into standard R33s, same for Miatas, S2000, etc. I don't care having ten versions of the same car, just do it right.

I like the idea, but they'd have to model the changes too, just like how they'd model normal interiors. It still would be simple, but it would involve more effort than you'd think. However, for PD's own race cars made pre-GT5, they could just copy-paste the interiors. Example: the Gran Turismo Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car's interior could be copied staight into the Ford GT LM Race Car and the Ford GT Race Car Spec II since all three are fictional.

This times a million. I could live with a blacked out interior but the sloppy way it's done now... it feels like you're running around the track with a black cardboard cutout in front of your face with no car surrounding you! It makes that view just down right silly. How in the world could I be sitting in the cockpit of a Superbird and not see the bonnet??? I know it's nitpicky but I use the cockpit view all the time and this just grates me every time I get into a standard car! :yuck:
 
I often thought PD should just design a generic interior and apply that to the standards. Heck they could even have 4 or 5 and as the original poster said, have them in custom parts, but for free.
