Default PGR3 Preferred View

I've of course been using the out car view since release,

well that was until a week ago when i was forced to use the in car view and i mean wow

not only is it intensley realistic, but my driving has become more precise because you can see where your car is, when on the outcar view you never realise that you arent compensating for the fact that your car isnt at the TV screen (if you know what i mean) so you dont take coreners as precisely.

I find it easier driving outside the car, but I enjoy the In-Car view more. It wasnt made to be left alone :P

I always use to drive my racing games looking at the back of the car. But since PGR3 I play it inside the car. I Just enjoy looking at what the cars dash looks like. They're purdy.

I perfer both, I use the third person veiw to get around cars and sometimes try to see whats ahead of me. Then I use the dashbord view for turns, not only the view looks so awsome and real, I find myself its easer driving with this veiw. Hey does anyone know how to unlock the e-cars award, Id did what it said but i still havent unlock the award.

Default In car view from in my car

I like the in car view but I spent a day this summer building my simulation car. Its rough around the edges since I am not a craftsman in any way shape or form but here it is. I reccomend doing this to everyone. Full force feedback from a quality sitting position. The only question I have is why the heck does the 360 not have a true force feedback wheel out. I still have to play on my old school PS2 for really good racing so my PGR3 sits most of the time, argh. Tell me what you think of my home built setup. Im dying for a force feedback wheel for playing PGR3. Does anyone have any news on that subject?

In car view is the S&%@T!

It completely immerses you into the game and you really feel as if your driving the car. Fortunately I work at a software company and have the ability to take home one of our projectors. Nothing like in car view at 120 inches with surround sound!!!

I think you did a great job on that man, you went all out on that thing LOL. I like the chase view the best, thats just what Im use to but the in-car view is awesome.

Cool

Ever since the likes of TOCA touring cars on the PS1 i have always used the in-car view, i was pissed when the likes of forza and Gran Turismo didnt have one but played then all the same, and to some avail ( ranked 3rd overall on hotlap for several months ) but when PGR3 came along I just used to the in-car view and got very good times, im rank 3 on the test track in the Radical SR3 Turbo
