Cockpit versus TV Pod

[Hitman Braun]

How come nearly everybody's replay shows them racing via TV pod instead of cockpit view??? I find cockpit racing feels so much more realistic yet most don't seem to use it !!! Anybody have a reason for this???

Because the Halo blocks the view. Its that simple.

Well, I get rid of the centre column in settings so no worries....

I also find that in 2017 with no halo, most ppl drive in TV pod mode?????

I would imagine it is because of the better field of view.

Field of view is not good and also no HUD in cockpit view
I Agree that riding cockpit is more realistic but not with codemasters

Usually i drive in cockpit view in different sims like rf2 or AC but codemasters its pretty diffcult and some times un drivable specially at monaco ..

I drive in cockpit view exclusively, only exception being during league races, as I need to record my race for any incidents that may occur so I have evidence, and tv pod does give better field of view for that.

Thanks fellas for your comments....

Its because theres a lap time benefit in tv pod.

Altho its not by much and tv pod bores me where cockpit is just more exiting.

This is how i race

Looks good. What steering wheel do you have? Just about toput my order in for the Fanatec Podium F1 wheel and peddles etc. Using a Logitech G27 at the moment...

Also I don't race on line. Just career mode as I mod a lot of my stuff....
