Standard cockpits: An interesting idea...

Some of them will still be more detailed than others. Also, think about the standards from '05 to '10.
 
it would be cool if there were a feature where you could make rooms cockpit only. or if you could tell who was using a wheel or not.

Honestly, I'd rather have blacked out cockpits than generic inaccurate ones.

to me is if they cannot do it right, don't do it 👎
 
now we can do NAME THAT CAR from standard cockpit view mode!

OK, so now we know we are going to have ‘standard’ cars with an interior view. Well I had some expectations on what generic would mean, and honestly those black interiors are too generic for my liking if you know what I mean... (I can not even see the wheel on those generic interior views).

On the other hand it seems they had devoloped some not so generic interiors spceially for all open wheelers, examples: Caterharm and Pescarolo (I think this was on one of the screenshots from the playstation blog) which look much better.

And then an idea came up to my mind, we have race cars with open and closed cockpits, rally cars, classic cars, 80s and 90s cars, supercars, new cars and so on...

We have premium MX5s, Skylines, 300ZX, Jaguars, Aston Martins, and so on and so on...

So why PD did not think on reuse premium interior views for those cars that are similar to those as standards?

Open cockpits, here I understand they would like to do something more in detail to match the real car so I hope we will have interior views customized for each open cockpit cars.

Race cars with closed cockpit, why do not develop a generic (but detailed) interior view for all LMP cars and similar?

The same for DTM cars, just build one and apply to all DTM cars.

Supercars, rally cars, classic cars (just make an interior with wood and classic wheel).

Summarizing the idea would be to create no more than 10-15 interior views with full detail, working gauges, lighting, etc... and apply it for all cars that fit on that category.

For open cockpits make something more customized as I think they will implement anyway.

For the rest they could reuse the existing premium interior that we already have if the car is more or less the same.

Ok, now some might say this is against perfection, probably sacrilege, and I understand that Yamauchi would probably implement black generic interior views before do this recycling, but I think most of us would like this idea as I think the gaming experience would be much better.

Ok guys share your thoughts, do you like this idea?

Would be a cool idea 👍

It looks in these pics that the Caterham has been modelled as a premium car. The detail in the roll cage and headlight buckets is actually pretty good. Here's hoping it is now a premium because I love that car. ;-)

That particular Caterham was owned by Richard Meaden from the UK car mag evo. They had an article when PD snapped their photos of the car and recorded it for GT4. KY was very impressed with the Fireblade, calling it 'the superlightest.'

Meaden's Fireblade had a number of aftermarket carbon fiber bits added, including the steering wheel. Seeing the carbon fiber detailing in the steering wheel and the gauges in the dash suggests that maybe this car was completely redone by PD and made into a premium.
 
The Caterham and Pescarolo already had Cockpit view. Same for the FGT? and some others. It is not that they made new cockpit views for the standards. Don't get your hopes up for having any detailed cockpits for most (S) cars. Just the one that already have them.

Edit: I meant to say Cockpit details as the Steering wheel, etc. Those cars that aren't blacked out from the inside. :)
Not that they actually have cockpit view.

Hi Nox,
i really fear that we will have what shown in your pic....really fear it.. But I guess no choice because 800 cars.. how on earth would PD do it better?...Looking at such awsome spec 2 update we are very thankful already...I never buy standard cars for a long time as I want to bluff myself my GT5 game is all premium cars with cockpit view and this update will at least encourage me to try standard cars. I really love cockpit view cars only haha.
 
Who's izumi? I'm gonna add them!
 
I hope the Bugatti Veyron and the Lamborghini Countach will look good in cockpit mode

They won't, unless they are upgraded to premium at some point in time. All standards will have a black frame cockpit, unless they are open cars, in which case there will be what was there already (visible on the outside).
 
You seem very sure of this, even though all you have to base that on is a few screenshots we've all seen. I think you're probably right, but don't assume, hey :)
 
He's assuming. You can easily tell the difference in quality of the standards' interiors. The worst of the worst have seats that are jaggier than the worst shadow edges I've seen.

Its very selfish I know but I only really had one wish for the update a premium Caterham so we could have a cockpit view! Although its not going to be premium I quite literally spat my tea over my keyboard when i saw the screenshot. WOW!!! Soooo happy, I can't wait and our MWCRC monthly championship race at the end of the month, its in the Cat wooooohooooo!

Not true, they had a roof cam like a lot of other standards. Roof cam is completely different

Same here. It looks so much better than what I had hoped for. Going to scavenge the UCD and OCD for the Caterham and open racecars for sure 👍 :)
 
I personally wouldn't class this as a cockpit view , I could have achieved this effect with some black cardboard and blue tack, this is bumper view with the screen blacked out !!! Very disappointing to see a game with the attention to detail that GT5 has and prides itself on lowering it's standards to this level, it's a shame to black out those beautifully modeled track graphics! I really enjoy the cockpit view on the premium cars and have complained about the lack of interior views on standard cars and I welcome the introduction of a generic cockpit view but with at least a speedo cluster, wheel and dash. I hope I am proven wrong about this cardboard cutout style view but it isn't looking good .
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kaz lowered his standards for those of us who wanted it. Gracious man.

Regarding interior view…do you mean you would want a black frame interior view?
By blackframe, I meant same as in PSP (re: cockpit view)
In that case, it would be technically possible.

You're right. They (Caterham and Pescarolo already had Cockpit view. Same for the FGT?) only had the roof cam. I'm, also, there spitting up tea with you. OHHHHH I did it again. :dopey:

Oh yeah. Same here.


And something better to add to this thread, if you have a Ford Falcon 2000 (Australian race car ftw), tell me that isn't one of the most detailed standards you've seen?

Psp cockpit view looks 1000% better than the screenshot in the news article, at least it has a bit of depth to it. The view shown in the news article looks like very little effort was put into it. Hopefully that is because it will eventually become redundant in the future with a more detailed view.

I think if that Tsukuba screenshot is anything to go by I'd say its not just a case of slapping a blacked out cut out over the top. We have the standard hud but I think the view is raised so its not bumper cam

That just wouldnt look right
 
^^^^ He'll be proven wrong, day of the update. He wants it to be, so I say let the Gods reign (I don't know what I just said).

You'll see, once Spec 2 is out. You've got it all wrong.

From what I recall the cockpit view and the bumper cam have the same field of view, the interior detail is layed over the same image as the bumper cam ( same height and angle)
 
I don't mind what the cockpit view on standards look like. At least we're getting one.:)

My only concern is what it's gonna be like in the rain. Will the wipers work? If not then it's going to be pointless when it's raining as you will not be able to see anything. :ouch:

Try the X2010 in the rain in cockpit view. You can see a damn thing !!
 
I will have to see, but now I think hood cam would be better.

haha I think they ran into that problem during testing. To make you feel better, someone mentioned GT5 having the best looking windshield wipers he's seen in a racing game or any game he might have said. I think it's looking good for you.
 
-Sitting (driving) poistion is important for me and this in car cam does the job.
Gtpsp has that cam and its not very bad.You can adjust close or far in car position also in gt5.
-May be a generic Race car cockpit as an upgrade for standard cars.
Sport ,race and full adjustable race car (everything) steering,dials lights,
in car view.
 
Some standard racer cars are more detailed than people are led to believe. Those who don't play GT5 don't really get that it isn't all the standards that look ugly. A lot of them, not just race cars, are very good looking.

Hmmm, not quite. The cockpit view has a higher point of view and the bumper view is literally on the bumper, it's low, closer to the road and we can see it's on the bumper, it feels that way. I tested that yesterday with the track creator glitch where you can give standard cars a pseudo cockpit view, and it's quite diferent.
