You've Been Playing GT7 Wrong AND Here's Why!

[@OldschoolRacer73]

I smoked so many simrigracers with my controller in far away view that told me it couldn’t be done. 😂🏁

[@hemsworth38]

Vr with a wheel has me hooked on this, finally got gold on Tokyo which seemed impossible. Those 30-60 min races I've been avoiding all this time ended up being the most fun

[@cruzlopez4449]

I’ve been using bumper cam since I was 7. My biggest complaint with interior views is truly personal; I get distracted. If there was just a dash view where the steering wheel was out of the way but I can see the gauges still, it would work better for me.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

Honestly I’ve been playing a bit more and yeah it’s kinda distracting there needs to be a dash view or a better interior like Iracing I 100% agree with you

[@TheLoganr80]

Correct. I use cockpit view in ACC because you can remove the wheel and drivers hands so you just see the dash display in front of your own wheel and you can adjust your seating position in the car to see the mirrors. I use bumper view in gt7 because it'd the only view with a usable rear view mirror.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

@@TheLoganr80 thats such a valid take, since uploading this video I've been receiving similar feedback and have decided to use the hood or bumper view

[@topherb83topher51]

Hood cam for non vr, cockpit in vr... it is what it is 😂

[@GhostOfBraznon]

That’s fair I agree

[@jordybandsma2645]

Man you gotta try it in VR it elevates the game to new heights! I’m pretty sure there’s still a sale going on.

[@DeadSceneMedia]

i use cockpit because for some reason i can see what the back of the car is doing better and I know if I'm about to lose control better.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

This is so fax for some reason it’s easier to recover the car!

[@DarnellJackson-o4z]

My preference is to see the car 3rd person. You can see every ounce of track, curb an cars rushing on you. Although hood and cockpit cams are great. I prefer the whole view. Kireth and WidowMaker to name a few use the same method. 5:11 5:17

[@GhostOfBraznon]

I never thought of using third person in sport mode. That is different, I should try it sometime to see if it works for me!

[@2_Bike_is_Life]

You're only capturing 40% of the experience with cockpit view. That's why most people play hood cam. VR however, would give you a much more complete experience, and rival the hood cam.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

I heard the psvr2 in gran turismo is amazing ngl

[@seanh8095]

Psvr2 is definitely the most complete GT7 experience. I’m not great in cockpit cam because I can’t judge distance to the apex. VR totally solves that problem. Highly recommended, especially if it goes on sale again.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

@@seanh8095 MANNNNNN if I get my hands on that psvr2 for GT7 my university homework will not get done ✋don't tempt me like that

[@seanh8095]

⁠@@GhostOfBraznonAbsolutely don’t let it interfere with ur studies, but if it goes on sale for $350 again, don’t miss out on the experience if it’s affordable to u. I haven’t had a single moment of buyer’s remorse. Take a go cart around ur favorite track to admire the details you’ve always passed too quickly to appreciate. U can thank me later.

[@MrNerv]

​@GhostOfBraznon You should try it, I drive like that, it's as immersive as you hope for, but yeah, cockpit view should be the way everyone needs to try.

[@stevens4476]

I got spoiled on cockpit cam from ACC, if only GT7 had the same settings for it asACC I would use it more. Good content bro

[@GhostOfBraznon]

I agree if it had just the dashboard it would be legendary! I also appreciate the support thank you very much!

[@tatsnneeps341]

Psvr2... job done 👍

[@GhostOfBraznon]

Don’t tempt me to buy the psvr2 😭

[@saiyajinali]

VR is the only way to go

[@simonekingero9357]

Can anyone let me know if VR works with sport mode?

[@jeskoumm]

“That’s what I said to my online girlfriend….to be in the cockpit, pppsssshhh….who needs that level of relationship immersion”

[@simonekingero9357]

Also,if Vr doesn’t work with sport mode wouldn’t it be great to have some sort of sensor attachment on your head so that if you’re playing in cockpit mode that when you move your head to look in the wing mirrors or out the windows that the screen moved with you

[@GhostOfBraznon]

That would be genius!!!! Polyphony needs to do this in the next game!

[@greyman003]

If you want to simulate driving in a race you must use the cockpit view. If you want to play the game use whatever makes you happy.

[@Mateo6078]

What nonsense. Do you also see half of the windscreen in a car? In the GT7 you can't see anything from the cockpit view

[@GhostOfBraznon]

I mean I kinda get where you are coming from, but Im saying this is a good way to have a more immersive experience. It would be great if you could crank the fov up and see more though

[@bakemonking]

Cockpit is most immersive, but also impairs view mostly. Bumper cam is to low and it is hard to see and read road and car as you would see/feel in real life. From this view you need to have road memorized to be able to drive it as you most of time cant see where are you going well enough. I know many would not agree, but chase cam to me closest to real life as in terms of seeing road. In real life we have much more peripheral vision and perception of depth and elevation which is only matched by chase cam. It helps offset screen size/ratio and resolution impairments off all other views. Also, i know it is not realistic to see car from 3rd person, but i see it as another way of feeling g forces on my body and car which i would feel if i'm really inside. Hood view is 2nd best as hood is not in a way, height is somewhat ok and you get some feel of car.

[@DOC187able]

Lol vr is the way 😂

[@GhostOfBraznon]

It is 😔 wish I had the psvr2

[@PhilipHaseldine]

Ask a real driver what view they drive from. I'll be amazed if any say from the bumper or magically suspended high up behind the car. I've always used cockpit view as well, it's the only realistic one.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

That’s true, I’m glad you share a similar opinion! It does feel 1000% more immersive but at times it is hard to stay competitive against the bumper cam players

[@samousse286]

You don't use optimal lines at Suzuka (use all the track) and stability control makes you understeer. Majority of A+ drivers uses hood or bumper cam. World Tour drivers bumper (you have the rpm and virtual mirror). Look Digit, Coque Lopez, Tyranno Cyrus Rex stream if you want an example.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

Thank you for the valuable advice I will make sure to take this to heart and try to incorporate this into my newer videos! I know I have trouble with some of the lines, so I can try to use all the track limits! Your input is very thanked!

[@mhillenaar]

VR is the only way for me... ans all HUD turned off... that is realism...

[@MrMelodynelson]

Uf that works for you...cool. but to me is the bumber cam

[@GhostOfBraznon]

yeah I've been going back and fourth, they are both good to me, but it does depend on the car. In some cars you cannot see anything.

[@mechlovin7627]

Nice video👍

[@GhostOfBraznon]

Thank you!

[@erich1308]

I play with the road in front of me no cockpit.

[@GhostOfBraznon]

That’s honestly valid too I’ve been hearing similar comments

[@speedtracker9556]

I will not put the cockpit cam with the dynamic cockpit settings on! I do not care if it can be very advantageous for my time! I do not care if it should make me have a more immersive sim racing experience that gets me hit from behind! I do not care if it just offers something that the hood cam doesn't, which is immersion! I do not care if that means I can see where I'm going much better because the camera leans into where i'm going with the car! I do not care if I can track the car's movements so much better! I do not care if I can see where it's not gripping or if I'm about to spin out with this cam! I don't care if I might even be better with the cockpit camera than my time with the hood camera! I do not care if I can see how much more I can push the wheel while I see how much more grip there is to have! I am not playing Gran Turismo 7 wrong! I WILL NEVER PUT THE COCKPIT CAMERA ON! You can not tell me what to do! You can not make me change the camera into a cockpit cam! I will not test the cockpit camera out! I will not get used to it! I will never ever put the cockpit camera on because it is kinda hard to drive and overtake opponents with this camera! It is hard to see some corners with this thing on. As for the shift indicator for the cars, I would rather try short-shifting with the manual transmission. But still, I am not a sim racer, nor am I a hardcore sim racing fan! You will never turn me into a sim racer by letting me turn on the cockpit camera! I AM NOT PLAYING GRAN TURISMO 7 WRONG BY KEEPING THE HOOD CAM ON! JUST LET ME KEEP THE HOOD CAM ON, AND LET ME LEAVE IT ON! 😤

[@bravo3six956]

Cockpit is best more control and realistic

[@umariqbal1031]

what Driver rating are you and what wheel do you use

[@GhostOfBraznon]

I’m C rating, and I’m using the t248 it’s a really good wheel for the price and also works great with iRacing1

[@umariqbal1031]

@@GhostOfBraznon Nice im also C rated but I use a thrustmaster t150 and t3pa pedals so very similar

[@GhostOfBraznon]

@@umariqbal1031 How is that wheel, have you been enjoying it so far?

[@umariqbal1031]

@@GhostOfBraznon ive had it for 3years now and it’s served me well but the initial pedals with it broke so I upgraded to the t3pa which are much better but I might upgrade my wheel in the next year or so. How long have you had your setup and is it your first?

[@GhostOfBraznon]

My setup I’ve had since the gran turismo movie funny enough 😭 bought the wheels and pedals right after watching that movie and yeah they are good since the brake pedals are loaded which helps me with trail braking and yes first setup ever!
