Fun fact: I was looking at the leaderboard for the YB at Nords SMS event and noticed something I thought was pretty surprising. Over 80% of the top 100 uses cockpit view. I don't know if usage is that high for everyone but I found it was much higher than I thought it would be.

I'd think the number might be lower if there were no FOV controls. Tailoring the view to exactly as we want it makes a huge difference to cockpit racing IMO.

It's definitely changed me from a bonnet cam man to a cockpit cam man, and that's before the seat controls come into play.

Same here. I started with rear view, graduated to bonnet around GT4, then when I went the pc route last year and started AC it's been cockpit ever since. Anecdotally, I remember a lot of people in the GT forums saying it made you slower or that they personally were slower from cockpit, but judging by the TT results, I think I can safely say that with the proper range of adjustments you find in a game like PCars or AC you can be just as fast in cockpit as any other cam, when you get used to it. And it's a lot more fun to boot, IMO of course.

Look to apex enabled, helmet on/off and some cockpit movement effects and you're all set.
People might complain about the amount of sliders, but i'm loving it :)

Never managed to get a view that is realistic, offers the right FOV and lateral safety while racing... I guess that unless i'll buy a 50" tv set i'll never get to race i cockpit cam...
 
It's a great feeling going back to cars I setup months ago (like the Z4 GT3) now that I know how to better tune a car, tweaking them and taking them out with a sweet performance/handling boost. Really feels like an achievement 👍
 
Can't wait for this mod.

I just can't seem to get into Pcars now, the pad on the PS4 leaves me in frustration everytime I have a session even with tweaks and adjustments.

Yet when I tried my G27 at a mate's place on the PC, low and behold the game made so much sense. Correcting a slide, easy, overall experience on a wheel even with default settings, great.

I think this is a game you have to have a wheel in order to get the most out of it.

Still debating on whether I should video review this game or not.... I might get slammed

I used chase cam in TOCA 1&2' because I was slower using cockpit, though it was more fun.
In GT5 & GT6 I used "bumper" cam (which was really a third eye view inside the cockpit) for best results. Bad FOV and blacked out interiors in cockpit view were not very helpfull.
In PCars I only use cockpit cam, except one time where I folded my hood so badly that I had no more sight on the road and had to use roof cam to get to the Le Mans pits...:lol:

Reviews are just opinions, you're free to do whatever you like so don't hold back!

Although the review may not be very in depth if you're struggling to even drive the cars. Stick with it, there's plenty of people's pad settings on this forum that can help you out.

You've got the issue spot on, can't review something if I don't have enough depth with it plus I need to have consistent quality with my reviews, can't do something half baked. I'll try a few more settings on my pad and see where I go from there.
 
I'll be honest, I've not played in about a month or so. However, I want to keep holding off as long as possible so when the updates and content grow, I'll get to play what feels like a totally new game!
 
No idea why but haven't been able to get into more than one session online lately (getting errors like you were removed from the room everytime).

Still don't like my wheel settings. I've got other complaints but still soldering on with this game. Not totally happy with it so far if I'm honest.
 
So I recently did a wipe and reinstall of the game on Xbox One after about 200 hours in the game. Never had crashing issues until now. The game crashes when trying to enter the first race of the Ginetta Challenge. Can't do it at all. Crashes in between as well but the game will not progress past the Ginetta Challenge. Sucks for me because the reason I did the reinstall in the first place was because of Achievements that were glitching for me. Hall of Fame was the achievement in question as well as Grand Chelem.
