I've always used the standard cockpit camera mode when driving F1 sims, but just out of curiousity thought I should try the new TV "top of car" mode thats possible with Mr Crammonds latest sim. And to my surprise I ended up prefering this mode to the standard in-cockpit mode. I think it gives a better view of the track and you have better control of cars coming up on the blind-side. I found it easier to correct small mistakes I inevitably would do during a race, and generally get better lap times. Those complaining about GP4 lacking a sense of speed should also try this mode as it enhances this too. It even gives a slightly lighter PO load.
yes the TV cockpit view helps to COMPENSATE for the 2D monitor that we are using to drive a car in a 3D enviroment It helps with situation awareness as well as sense of speed "Ketil Rolland Hansen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I've always used the standard cockpit camera modewhen driving F1 sims, but > just out of curiousity thought I should try the newTV "top of car" mode > thats possible with Mr Crammonds latest sim.
