On GPL I always used the cockpit view, but in rFactor I never use it. Firstly because I never got used to most cockpits in rFactor, I find them ugly and non-immersive and I'm lost without moving arms as we have in GPL ^^ . Also the default cockpit view is always seated too low, so you have to tweak it up, and you end up like if your driver was sitting on two phone books in his car which is the real heresy ! And finally I must I confess that being a single-seater born driver I can't drive if I'm not seated in the center of the car . So I always use the TV Cockpit view I think it's called, the one with the camera behind the driver's helmet.

Pas mieux.

Oui Alberto, ce fut très sympa notre lutte, 1/3 de la course quand-même... (je comprends que Ben soit jaloux de cette bagarre... lui qui roulait 1 seconde au tour plus vite que nous, tampis pour lui ).
Je n'ai pas compris ce qui arrivait quand tu es sorti de la route alors que je prennais l'aspiration derrière-toi... J'ai même crû que je t'avais touché... Tes pneus devaient fumer sans doute...

Le reste de ma course c'est la bagarre avec Alex qui l'a animée. Il avait des difficultés de tenue de route et cela m'a permi de rester devant lui, après que l'on se soit dépassé quelques fois. Je crois qu'il était malade en plus, ce qui n'arrange rien pour la concentration...

Bref une course très animée avec des performances moyennes, sur un circuit plutôt favorable aux classe B, dans laquelle nous nous sommes encore bien amusés malgré cela

Merci à tous, bravo à Lorenzo et Pierre

A la prochaine

Oui course à oublier popur moi, caisse trés vite passablement abimée puis détruite sur la fin, setup bon pour les chiottes, pilote à l'ouest, fin de course à l'agonie... Un cauchemar que j'ai tenue a terminer pour les orgas, et vous tous, sinon...

Merci pour le petit piquant qui m'a fais passer un bon pti moment Phi

I'm just wondering, how do you cope with a real car?

I do not have the slighest interest for real cars except old racing cars . I haven't driven a car in years, and as a matter of fact last time I checked I did not have a driving license anyway ^^

And everyone in Nice is thankful for that

Everyone on Earth should be happy for that, as it makes one less stinky metal box ruining the world

So you go around with public transportation and bicycle? Or are you simply permanently locked at home crying in pain for the 70s and 80s having gone forever

God gave me legs . And otherwise yes mostly train, bus or taxis. Other people's cars too ^^ like my ex's

Question preferences camera when driving on a virtual machine always raises the interesting debate! I will not hide, that in him lies the desire to put some into the cockpit! Whatever it is, it is the most realistic from the possible options. I was also surprised that Frank says about the cockpit by default. But the position of the camera in the cockpit is regulated as you want! Therefore, in a convenient position to pick up quite easily! In the view of the TCL of course good. But not with my meager experience to give other advice! I thank all who participated in a conversation on this subject!
P.S And in the future I would like something like this:

I presumed simracers are petrolheads in real life too
