GT7 HUD Options

[AverageDAD_GT]

Hi All

Am I the only one infuriated by the lack of HUD customization?

I mainly drive bumper view or Hood view in sport, but am always distracted by the obtrusiveness of the HUD elements, I find my braking points blocked for just enough time for me to miss them on occasion as well as the bloody lap time, penalty alert and messages blocking my view of the car in front as I'm trying to make a move!

Other that an option to turn it all off there is no options to select what information I want or don't want on screen, or to even change the opacity of the HUD elements.

What grinds me the most and is what I feel the most infuriating thing is the current LAP time clock that's almost smack bang in the center of the view

Has there been discussions anywhere at any time from Polyphony about introducing more HUD customization?

Regards

I think as far as PD are concerned their game is perfect. The lack of HUD customization baffles me tbh and unfortunately I can't ever see that changing. At least the option to reposition the lap time would be a start. I play in VR and it drives me mental having it where it is yet if I turn it off the MFD goes as well, ridiculous.

Being able to modify the HUD would be a major quality of life improvement for sure. But, it'll never happen.

Exactly this! There are many bugs and annoyances that have been mentioned here several times. But in the ~1.5 years I play the game I haven't seen any of this addressed by PD. They just don't care.

Forget customization at this point, a simple on/off assigned to a button would be appreciated.

I am willing to volunteer my time and do a quick internship at PD and in less than a week, give Kaz a fully spec internship report on how to properly implement a customizable HUD and all the possible permutations of HUD options....


Willing to even buy my own tickets to Japan for this internship.... But we can also do this virtually/remotely....

Call me Kaz...

Customization would be great. Almost every sim has that ability. PD probably just thinks they have it covered, pause game, shut it off. It’s that easy! You can already do it! Simply ruin your race, let AI drive your car while you navigate menus.

Games are so big now with many separate departments focusing on their portion of the game, it’s the only explanation why some of the most ridiculous things are missed and overlooked. Such as toggling a HUD on and off. Or they’re stubbornly thinking, WHY would you want to do that?

I can’t help on the physics department besides telling them, hey your transition between grip and no grip needs to be a bit wider. We need GRIP GRIp GRip Grip grip - not - GRIP GRIP GRInothing.

As for the rest of it, if they could implement my wish list items I could make this game almost perfect.

In all fairness, its worth mentioning that a hud toggle was pretty useless…until vr. Now i wish i could do it every time i drive the car. Races, tt’s, weeklies.. the whole shebang. Multiple times per session, every session.
