Which view do YOU use for driving?

[Livedog]

People who race use cockpit. People who play games use bumper or chase.

 

[eight6er]

I use bumper view, as cockpit view reminds me that I'm playing a game, because the interior view makes it obvious the FOV is limited.

This says it all...

Cockpit cam generally, especially offline where it doesn't bother me to knock into a drone from time to time in a cockpit veiw with poor visibility. Bumper cam if I'm in a standard usually, unless it has a nice interior, or if its a premium with a lot of blind areas and things especially in some cars where the "driver" seems to be sitting way too high or low and you can only see a sliver of the track. (exaggeration i know, but there are some where visibility really is an issue)

Everyone is playing the same game, it's laughable that some people think they are somehow not playing a game, because they are using a different view.

 

[ImprezaAddict]

People who race use cockpit. People who play games use bumper or chase.

People who play a certain game called Gran Turismo 5 use one or more of the four camera views available. Same game, not real racing.

Cockpit view, no HUD even for online racing.

No HUD in standard cars I know it is a clear disadvantage but it keeps the screen so clean that I can focus just on driving.

For my life I can't drive on chase cam, how do you guys can handle it?

Very true, it'd be hard for real racing drivers to drive from the bonnet or floating a few feet behind the car though. You're playing a game though.

 

[GfxJG]

Hood/Roof Cam usually, but it usually depends what I feel like at that given momemt. I can drive/race in any of the 4 cams, but Interior is probably my least favourite, I love the detail, but the non centered position gets me...

I just can't drive properly if I don't see a whole car, with an interior camera I feel like I'm blind coz I can't see a ****, funny thing, coz IRL I have no problem 'using an interior view'

Well quite clear that the FOV and the lack of configuration for the interior view is a bit of a let down, but this is (just for me) the best view to feel totally behind the wheel.

I guess it is a matter of getting used to any of the views available in the game.

 

[isildur]

Bumper view all the way and for any car....

 

[KWZX10]

Cockpit view for casual driving, bumper cam for setting fast laps and roof cam for the Red Bulls.

Yep this except the last part.
Because i always use cockpit in the redbull/f10/f07/fgt.

 

[savage_80]

for racing cockpit but for drifting i use the roof just because of how hard it is to see whats going on at your side.

 

[Encyclopedia]

Interiorview predominantely.

 

[jaycee_xr3]

Bumper, almost everytime...

 

[shirakawaa]

Since the moment standard cars aquired a cockpit view too (even if black, though it's not that bad - actually I prefer it since you get the same HUD that you have in the "bumper view") I only use the cockpit (internal) view. Before, for consistency, I only used the "bumper" view.

 

[Malc01]

Bumper view for most of the time, and when racing hard..

Cockpit once comfortable with car and track and can afford to be a little slower...
[And more incident prone! ]

 

[NFSCARBON1]

Cockpit view always for me, even on standards. I feel I can judge corners and where other cars are better than with bumper cam.

 

[stig's helmet]

Interior for me.

 

[Fryto]

Offline I use interior cam on premium cars and open wheel standards. Bumper cam for other standards. Online I use bumper cam on most cars (premium and standard) to better avoid accidental bumps. In some cars like the Z4 M I also use the interior cam online

 

[Rods]

Before the standard cars had an interior view, I used the bumper cam, but now I only use the cockpit view

 

[Morgoth_666]

Always cockpit. I used to use front-axle-cam on standards until they gave us the interior view for them, now never. Just wish I could see my hood, sigh. Pretty please, PD?

 

[KyoDex]

About 70% cockpit, 25% bumper, 4.9999% Far and 0.0001% roof

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I only use the interior view. For immersion it's the only way.

 

[Odyofil]

Chase cam all the way...

 

[mrx796]

Even though I drive with a wheel, I usually use far view. I also use interior view sometimes to show off.

 

[ed24]

I generally use the cockpit for premiums, and the roof for standards.

 

[SkierPS3]

Chase cam all the way...

I used to be mostly chase cam, then I found I corner really well with bumper, not to mention the new chase cam is unusable.

 

[ZohsixGT5]

Let me get this straight..... All these new "chase cam complaint" threads and that's the preference of only 11% of the 200+ votes already??? By reading these threads over the last couple of days it makes it seem like everyone uses that view.
