Which raceview do you guys use online??

Outside view, strictly for tandems, but I'll have a wheel soon so incar I'll go

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.

Depends on the car. If it has decent mirrors, in car. If not? Bonnet.

Cockpit for direct feel of cars behaviour and full immersementismnessdom..

When i drift, its Far chase view simply because you need to be aware of everything around the car from other racers to walls and pitch of car. while doing a general, not too competitive race i'll use in-car view but if its starting to get tough i'll switch to bumper.

I use the bonnet cam. I struggle with vision when I'm in the car. I suppose if I had a wheel i would have more motivation to do so.

bumper cam for the win always. you seem more road and have less distractions. I don't race much online, if I do I just try to use mirrors to get out of peoples way rather than try a different view to try to be racing closer to them.


Am I the only one that is STILL bitter that they moved the tacho over to the corner after FM2??

come one people, the pseudo standard screen-centered double gauge HUD introduced by GT (?) is significantly better then the old school HUD in the corner thing. Your eyes can quickly scan back to the gauges from focus are at the center of the screen easily...

... and in transitioning from FM1 (stadard double gauge) to FM2, turn 10 actually developed one of the best bumper cam HUD layouts. The combination HUD with the Tacho right in the center of the screen clustered with an offset speedo was absolute genius.

I find that the switch to FM3 really frustrated me - I felt that the most intense immersion of the game was detrimentally affected by that design/development decision. I guess I eventually had (almost) got over it.

I wish they would bring an option to bring it back.

It is a hassle when this happens :



I know it was FM3 but this could happen in FM4 too!

Those with keen eyes might recognise 'Road America' and that blue Supra GT car - ah that competition was well setup and run, did I mention the last couple of laps of one of my runs impeded by not being able to see the damn tacho? (it might have actually just been a practise run, although it does say post race...)


sorry might have got off topic slightly there with the rant on the HUD eh.

Since playing forza 4, with the graphics and the feel - there is no way I'll switch from in car view. Was driving around in an old mustang last night, was a blast to drive!

getting more used to the in car view......definately better than FM3
