Hi guys,

Just out of interest, was wondering what view do you guys use when racing online? I personally always love using the in car view, since I'm using a wheel, but sometimes it's difficult to see how close the other cars are to you.

cheers.

In Forza 3 I've always used bumper view as I found the cockpit view too restrictive. The cockpit view in Forza 4 is much better.

Bonnet. I find it hard to get a grip on where the sides of the car are when using in-car view. Sometimes I use the behind the car view for the first corner, cos you can see everyone around you more easily, but it feels like a toy car that way.

I have used the out of car view on any driving game for as long as I remember, would like to use the in car view but I hate not being able to look around, if I had kinnect forza 4 would change that lol

Bonnet view for me.
In-car is ok on some cars but the seat position and varied field of view on others gets a bit frustrating and claustrophobic. Adjusting the view using the multi screen option on FM3 seems to disable the right sticks ability to look around.
Even though I have a decent sized tv I will stick with the bonnet view. Seems to give a more natural view considering the distance I sit from the screen.

Generally it's the in-car view for me..

There are a couple of cars that I'll switch back to the bonnet, just because the view is too restrictive - the Peugeot 908 springs to mind, and the GT500 GTRs aren't much better.

Buumper view always in FM3, but I'll be looking at driver view and head tracking in FM4.

60% in car view.. 40% bonnet..

unless the incar view has minimal vision e.g v8 supercars..

this is possibly why my times are so slow.. ???

Incar view for me. I tried to use the bonnet view for a while but anything other than incar view just feels wrong to me.

In car - takes a bit to learn where the corners of the car are but once you get it down pack you can run very close to other cars around you

Seems to be close between 'in car' and 'bonnet view' Very Happy

Does anyone know if there will be more flexibility in FM4 for zooming out in the incar view? Or will be the same with the multiscreen change like 3?

I only recently bought a new slim with kinect, so I can't wait to see how well it works when you move your head while I'm driving in car.

The multiscreen settings look the same (I saw them in a video somewhere). So I'd be surprised if you weren't able to make the same changes to the FOV...

Would be nice to have a little more flexibility though...

Always used bumper view in FM3, but in the hours or so I played FM4 Demo, I used incar, and it seemed pretty good.

In car view, no point in letting the detail go to waste, especially in FM4.

I use the bumper view because I think it gives the best sensation of speed. and you get a pretty handy rear-view mirror to boot.

All ways in-car. I just have a better feel for it, and it feels more real. I am never really able to drive as well without it. I can do well on the bonnet view, but still just don't get that feel for the car, whether it's over or understeering.
