Third person camera vs interior camera

[Lens007888]

@McNol

Currently 90% of people use the camera in third person

Unless you have the exact figures saying X amount is just a figure of your imagination

@FreshBarley4670

I use in car view with no wheel

Same but with Xbox one controller even tho I have a wheel, I find the one controller has a better range on the triggers than the Xbox S/X controller

@FreshBarley4670

What differences between cameras are you talking about?

Only difference from experience is that 3rd person view is used by griefers , no facts to back that up tho but it gives rammers that extra awareness of anyone trying to overtake them!

@McNol

Personally I don’t like third person camera.

Good for 3rd person games like GTA and that’s it

@Shaadum59

Everyone plays as they please, right?

Spot on

@Methariorn

I play with cockpit-wheel view (same even in FH5).

Do you notice in FH5 that the sense of speed is incorrect from the interior view in FH5?

@pooshedpork

I use interior with wheel in all of my other sim titles except for the Forza entries. Lacks camera/driver positioning and the steering animations are wonky. Never turns past 180 and the arms are too stiff with weird bending at the wrists. Big fan of how GT7 animates the wheel by comparison. If I go interior, it’s the fixed dash without wheel.

In FM7 I used interior with wheel because the rotation of the arms felt right even tho it’s completely not and haven’t bothered to dial in the settings in FM8 so just go no wheel or ghost wheel when the shadow of the wheel is still shown in certain rides. Also a Big fan of how GT7 animates.

At least T10 got the sense of speed correct in FM8 for the interior views, was dreading they may have got it wrong before release like FH5

Ironically, I’m not a fan of the added speed FX so I disable those, and when I setup my rig, it’s to a big fat TV so o have to pinch the FOV a little for it to be remotely accurate. The end result is a lack of that added speed.

But honestly, all I’ve bothered with lately is AMS2 in VR.

Really considering making an irrational plunge and snagging a PS5 with GT7 and PSVR2… unless it comes to PC.

Not sure what the speed FX thing is but don’t use them plus don’t change any FOV in pretty much any game. FH5 interior cam is really quite bad for the sense of speed tho, it feels off and it’s a shame because of all the work that’s gone into development with the interior for it to be wasted cause they couldn’t get the sense of speed right.

Had my first CTD in a very long time after loading into VIR in that first weekly and also notice that when you pause the game whilst racing and go to settings, cycling through the TABS has a lag to it, so when you scroll through it gets stuck on Graphics and asks you if you want to save the changes of which is really annoying, almost as annoying as the complete UI in this game, just trash stuff and thought that Turn10 might have fixed that by now!.. Who am I kidding, fix it within the first year

Might start a thread in TSHUB about the settings tab lag but to be honest… do I really care that much… Nope

Edit: Make that 2 CTD’s in the space of a few hours. Whatever this “update 8” is, it’s crashing the game.

Oh the Joys of a Game as a Service, one that was touted as the most accessible for the Devs to update on the fly

Nothing that Turn10 does surprises me anymore… in a good way

[Lens007888]

Third person is what a customer of Turn10 feels like, it’s not a view but more a placement

[AdmPatate]

I drive in cockpit view (the one with the wheel). On some cars I move to driver cam (the one without the wheel) for a better view. I also often cycle to third person to look at my car in a straight, it also may happen in a long race that I do a lap in 3rd person for fun.

Xbox One wired controller.

I use UDP when I’m doing time attack brackets, just to grab the times.
