Personally I find it difficult judging my position on the track from the in-car view, whereas the arcade view enables you to see exactly where you are. Maybe this mode helps your friend judge his position on the track better, and therefore get a better line. John p.s . the frame rate (judging by the level of detail) seems to be much lower on arcade - or is this just me ? -- John Hartridge | Crosfield Electronics Ltd, ext 3282 | Three Cherry Trees Lane,

Does anyone know if there are advantages or disadvantages to driving ICR2 from arcade view. I usually drive from in the car, but have a friend(so called) that drives from arcade and he continually beats me in qualifying. Yes, i know that it could be my driving so no need to spam me over that comment. I was just curious if anyone else knows which way is better for fast laps? Thanks for your help!!

The frame is lower in arcade view; we have to update the entire screen in arcade view, as opposed to ~2/3 screen in***pit view.

The only advantage I see in arcade is judgeing cars that are in close at the rear and to the side. I prefer in-car, I can have a better visual feel for the cars behavior.
