Which view are you?

[Dom00000]

So which view/camera angle do you guys use when on SSRX and Indy? I use the good old 3rd person view, for those that dont know what that is, well its the view of the whole car. I like the tachometer in this view the best, I find it helps with timed launches on SSRX.

I like the tach in front bumper view the most, but yes I Drag in 3rd person and Race on "above hood" view

Drag in whole car view, drive in cockpit and hood for standards

 

[Dom00000]

I like the hood view when racing but not all the time. The hood view feels like your more connected with the track and have more control.

 

[Franky]

I use 3rd person view on both because i got use to it. Perhaps i should try a new view and see how it goes.

This ^

Best view in GT4 imo. GT5 for all around cockpit I think is best for premo. Standards for roof view

 

[KTalloutdrags]

for launch bumper cam for optimal control over my break, then i quickly switch to see the lovely rear of my car while shifting. i did it with my old remote so much the corner of my nail put a hole in the select button lmao

Interior on premiums and hood for standards unless it's the Caterham or Prowler etc

yeah i do that too but i turn hud off in premiums if im bored.

btw, off topic but the lyrics in your sig- monster by skillet, and also those are awsome bands lol

I start with the chase view to check if the start was good, then I switch to the bumper view to see the rpm number better and to precisely hit the shift. After that shift I switch again back to the chase view to check where I'm at and then again to the bumper view for the shift, and so on....

Haha good knowledge there son and thank you I agree also

Of course

But sometimes even on the quarter. You simply must switch it fast enough, not a big deal.

 

[YourSlaggyNan]

I will use 3rd person to line up and then i would switch to cockpit view if its a premium car, but if not i go to the hood.

1st person view in drag racing. It allows me to see the tachometer better.

I thought the HUD is the same in bumper, cockpit and hood/roof view?
Or do you really mean the car's tacho? It's normally harder to read that one.

In 1st person (bumper) you get a dial type gauge set. you also get the same in cockpit view in standard cars. The cockpit view could work but I suck and tend to drift out of my lane when using it When viewing from roof or 3rd person (camera behind car) all you get is that horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen. The horizontal bar makes it more difficult to hit the shift points (for me anyway). I do use the 3rd person view for drag racing when I'm using a car in auto. True the premium cars cockpit view is hard to read the tachometer in.

 

[BlasphemicAcid]

I just listen to the engine and keep my pariferals on the dummy light.. In any view. I do however prefer the cockpit view i wish you could set the specific rpm that the shifter(dummy) light would blink it would help with power band shift timing..

I thought you meant the cockpit view with 1st person.

 

[ninja99]

I use the tach for drag and the hood for racing. i personally think the hood is better bc u can see the whole track and not being constricted in the cockpit
