What's your favourite camera perspective in computer games?

Bumper cam, if there is two of them I prefer the higher level.

Bumper or dash. Although, I use 3rd person for GTA.

i prefer inside the car camera. sometimes i use the camera that's behind the car too

Well the camera that shows the whole vehicle from the back, doesn't let you see where your nose is. So I have a problem because I can't pass the kerbs marginally. I end up touching the gravel or wall and lose speed, or not take the turn marginelly at all.

So I choose the bumper cam. I think that if you practice, you can surpass the initial disadvantage of not seeing the whole car. So I see no disadvantage in the bumper cam. Plus I think it feels faster too!!!!

I been using bumper view ever since Colin McRae rally on Playstation 1.

That's always the cause of huge arguments in the NR2003 mod leagues I'm in. The oh-so-serious people say that this is a SIM-YOU-LAY-SHUN and should ONLY be driven with the cockpit view, full solar effects and windshield crud buildup -- otherwise you're 'just playing games."

Well, yeah, I *am* playing a game. You think I get paid for this or something?

The problems I have with it are that the cockpit takes up about 2/3rds of the total screen and I have no interest in just watching a bunch of matte black and a few instruments. Besides that, the cockpit jounces differently from the landscape and it doesn't take long at all before it starts to make me motion sick.

I'm a roof-rider in these games. It gives me the best perspective and the most complete view of cars passing me left and right, which is the norm in my races.

the BEST was using a GPL mod and three screens.
Main screen on main PC in cockpit mode, left screen and right screen hooked up to other PCs and chosing patched camera giving left and right anngled views out of cockpit.
Was awesome
