Cockpit View can be changed in Forza 3!!!

[TrUe GaMeR]

with a little trick.

Normal View

Adjusted View

This is done by adjusting the triple screen setup in the settings. It works on single screens and it also works on FM2. No reported frame rate problems or anything.

Great news! Although it looks just a little far back!

edit: scrap that...looks perfect in the video!

you can actually adjust it to your liking though. Too far back, too close? No problem. Just change the value... I'll hopefully have some HD footage up within the next few days.

Quality! Something that should be in all games that use cockpit cam...pretty sure most PC sims have the option to move your chair back n forward.

Can you look to the sides in cockpitview in the full game ? A friend of mine sad it wasn´t possible in the demo ?

 

[F34R]

Yes, you can. You have to push "UP" on the thumbstick, then left or right... you can do it in the demo as well.

Great ! Thanks for the answer. Now, my friend is looking for a good steering wheel, I´ll take good suggestions because I plan to spend a "few" hours with him, Forza 3 and a good steering wheel. (and a couple of beers ofcourse)

Well, you don't have much choice in that department. Microsoft makes a wheel and fanatec makes a wheel, and MadCatz made a wheel. I don't think there are any others.

I have the MSoft wheel, and it works just fine. If you can find it cheep, I'd say go for it. If you're willing to put some more money in it, check out www.fanatec.com . They have wheels that are PS3/PC only, 360 only, and PS3/PC/360 compatible. They are the only manu that has a wheel that is compatible with the 360/PS3/PC.

It's cool that they leave stuff like this in the game.

I remember playing around with the different FOV setting in Metropolis Street Racer on Dreamcast, if you set it to realistic it would have a really narrow field of view and everything would look like it's going real slow.

I wish more games would leave options like this in their games, at the very least it allows people to optimize it for how they want to play.
