i don't think it is. The camara point is very high...

No it's not, the bottom of the screen is on the hood.

yes it is, the camara is actually on top of the front window/roof and looking slightly down. when the other cars are passing by you see the camara is at the same height of the roof of other cars and above the barriers.

So that's roof cam then.

 

[kikie]

I think it's a roof camera, not a bonnet view.

 

[RedSuinit]

Next time you go to drive your car, put your chin level with the top of your roof, and look straight out. Then move your head in front of the windshield and put your face about where it would be if you were in the car. It does not seem like a roof cam to me. THIS is a roof cam.



The first half of this video.

The camera is sitting ontop the roof intake on the rally cars though

Sorry if it was been already posted!!!

nice!

btw...speaking of FOV and VF (above) has anyone seen the latest episode of Inside Sim Racing? They do a very cool review of the ATI EyeFinity card with 3 monitors. Definitely worth checking out imho, ymmv.

So did anyone notice if it still had the ridiculous draft effect of GT5P?

Draft has already been changed since GT5

 

[ZoidFile]

Is it me, or is the third-person cam more "free" now? Would be an improvement the cam felt a bit too rigid in GT5.

This is an older vid, and this view does look like a bonnet cam, I don't see any hint of a windscreen

Can anyone who played the BETA please tell me about how the physics felt when playing in professional mode??

How did the physics feel compared to GT academy or prologue?? did it feel closer to one or the other??

Yep, I think bonnet cam is basically a camera in front of the windscreen at a height that would be roughly in line with the drivers view from inside. Hence why we see quite a bit of variance between the different cars (low sports cars versus normal road cars). It's my cam of choice that's for sure, but I'll be checking out cockpit to see what all the fuss is about!

 

[Sohvakettu]

Is there actual reverse gear or is it still the same old GT style reversing?

I think this view best replicates VOF (vision of field) and removes the animated wheel and arms.
A better cockpit view would have the 'dashboard' option to remove the wheel and arms.

I live in Birmingham, but I was on holiday at the time. That was annoying...
