the crew What View Do You Use?

[Ahautcar]

So yeah just out of curiousity I was wondering what cameras you ducks like to use the most! :)

If you're unsure I've made it multi-choice so you can tick which ones you tend to use more than others.

Personally I prefer switching between close 3rd person and cockpit, rarely in any other perspective.

[MephistoRacing]

Cockpit, close 3rd person if I need to look around or something.

[TheXRacer]

Primarily close third person. Very rarely will I switch to cockpit if I'm just trundling around a city or narrow country road.

[Camel]

I tend to use bonnet or cockpit. Depends on the car and whether it has a big air intake or not.

[nfsMIB]

Bonnet in Races and Cockpit or close 3rd person view when I'm cruising ;)

[Ryzza5]

Close 3rd person for police chases

Far 3rd person for screenshots

Bonnet as main

Bumper for award points

Cockpit occasionally for cruising

[Andreas¹]

3rd person as I always do. Probably the close one but I'm not sure.

The Circuit Spec Hotrod comes into mind! Wow, honestly it's such a pain to drive that in cockpit mode. The narrowed-down windshield certainly doesn't help. I think it wins the prize for the worst interior in the whole game by a long shot :hmmm:

 

Anyway thanks for all the responses so far guys, I was thinking most players primarily use the bonnet cam but it looks like the cockpit is taking the cake!

[Ryzza5]

I will use the cockpit more when they get rid of the wobbly steering wheel animation.

[Ahautcar]

I seem to be the only one who doesn't mind it :susp: Better than TDU2's downright lack of any animation in the cockpit imo.

 

 

Yikes.

[RobikV3]

Bumper cam in some challenges when i really need to feel the car other than that 3rd person close usually or cockpit just for cruising, though the cockpit view sucks in most cars, especially in buggy cant see either wheel or gauges lol whats the point of camera like that

[Ahautcar]

Yeah I'm with you there I wish there were controls to adjust the view like in TDU1. Many cars' cockpits are also off-centre, like in the circuit SL-63 AMG and the Murciélago

It wouldn't be so bad if I was using a gamepad, but because it doesn't match what my hands are doing, it creates that brain disturbance with conflicting signals from your built-in motion sensors (there's a technical term for it) and what you see on screen, creating that nauseating 'uncanny valley' effect, something familiar to Rift testers for the opposite reason (they move their arms but the in game person doesn't).

[Ahautcar]

Yeah fortunately I don't get nausea from the movement - that's probably why, for the most part, I don't mind it, else I'd likely be harping wildly about it all day long O.o
