@zombie182Excuses excuses…(not specifically you, but the esport drivers, they just want the easy way) i race cockpit cam, I use the proximity arrows, backmirror to compensate the loss of side mirrors, never had any problem. It has to do with awareness, and simply getting used to. But no matter what, you will never be as fast or consistant as on tcam. Let me say, those cam setup vids, they explain that they set it up to see as much in front as possible to be able to hit all apexes and consistancy. Never heard the “see whosnexttome” excuse, but that could be because i don’t care about a pro challenge thing when people are allowed to use crutch cam settings.
they are the pro’s right? Then they should be the best. And should be soo good that knowing who’s next to them is automatism. They should have so much skill that things like that are no issue. Then you have pro skills. And if I can do races without hitting people, (not saying i’m a pro!) then it should be peanuts for them!
Tcam is used to consistantly hit the apexes, see the next turn way up ahead, position the car wach round the same way. Why do you think the times are so close?
And indeed @BadMayh3m mistakes are easier made. JUST LIKE IN REAL. Because it’s harder, mistakes are easier made, and it only improves the racing when people have a harder time to go lap after lap the exact same way. It’s like looking at robots racing, while in cockpit view you need to be much more aware, careful, and you can’t hit each apex perfect like on tcam, resulting in mistakes.
Tcam is a form of assist/cheating. Everyone says they use tcam because it’s the quickest, not because they can see what’s around them. Just watch how much the look back button is pressed. I get dizzy and the “pro’s” developping parkinsons.
cockpit view is trash indeed though, since FOV slider includes the whole cockpit which is stupid btw, in car your fov doesn’t change because you “sit in a fixed position, but apparently it’s hard to make only everything outside the cockpit change like it’ss supposed to be. (Or easier to program.)
