Can't see signal lights at intersection

[Simrealism]

I have a truck with a visor and I tried lowering the seat and moving it forward and still can't see it.
is there a way to lean forward to look up a bit more?

Only way I know of to lean forward is if you have a headtracking system. I would suggest stopping farther back since you have a big visor in the way. Otherwise you'll have to go to cam 2 at every light

There is another option. You can see the reflection of the lights on your hood, which helps if you're up to close to see the actual lights.

Thanks fellahs. I will learn to cope. I won't be getting another visor. I'll just go without that in the game. Sad.
This is such a widespread problem in driving sims since sims were invented and still a thing in 2020.

you can also try to stop ealier so you can see it, noone force you to go all the way up to the stopline.

Well to be fair, it can even be a problem in real life driving too. I've been at some lights before that were clearly improperly placed in relation to the stop line where you would only be able to see them by leaning way forward and looking up if you didn't already know to stop further back.

I'm beta testing 1.37 and I drive a Kenny 900 with a really low visor. I'm not sure if it's just me but I've noticed most of the traffic lights also have a mid-post view of the lights like in real life, even left-turn signals. Makes it a whole lot easier than going to outside camera to check. But I never really had a problem with either setup.

Already mentioned.

TrackIr will allow you to turn your head and zoom.

Just to add: I have that problem you are having but overcome it with just moving my head with the TrackIr 5.

I see that too. Many signals are not like this however. It would be nice to have a way to lean forward, or out the side facing forward. But I will settle for workarounds.

rolling stop...always keep the light in view... saves the brakes too

Sometimes I can see the lights for the cross traffic. Once they're red I can start to roll. But yes. It is irritating to either stop short or go external.

It kills the immersion factor for me. I do all my play from cabin only, except when forced to use a camera view.
Some of these tips will give me some more options to try. XD
