Most Driving Game Cockpit View are SUCKS!

[GT5_X2010]

Buy a pair of glasses with a screen on the inside which plugs into your TV. that way you don't see what is actually in front of your, only what the game shows to be in front of you. You can get them. As for where I do not know.

Cockpit view is crap, can't see a thing and it feels like driving on clouds. Haven't played shift 2 but the original shift had a great cockpit view (and even better, a hood view).

I would love to give cockpit a chance, but not until every car is premium with a cockpit, I can't stand switching views.

Cockpit view might be good for replays... but i don't think you can run the fastest using it. Personnaly i've been using the bonnet installed camera view since it has been introduced in GT4. I need to know where the wheels of the car are if i want to achieve a fast time, just like in real life...

The sad thing is (in my opinion) that we could have a lot more premium cars (if not all premium) if PD didn't have to go so deeply in modeling the cars interiors. I'm not saying that modeling the interior so perfectly is a bad idea, but i'd rather have more than 600 cars looking premium from the outside than having 200 perfectly modeled interiors especially in cars that i would never drive...

Although not for everyone (but the most ardent GT5 fans), you can set the game up with up to 5 screen/monitors. 3 seems to be a good setup where you can get both the FOV and the width (which aids the sense of speed). Here's a good photo showing the triple screen setup (yes, there are 3 monitors in that setup):
