RSS Adonis...wrong seating.

[Terry Rock]

RSS does great work but the seating position in this one car is completely off.
It cannot be dialed in with pitch, seat height, distance from the wheel, etc...relative to what is seen from the driver's perspective.
If you set the seating height to look out the windscreen you cannot see the cluster.
If you push the seat back to see the cluster, you cannot see much of the road ahead.
If you set the pitch to compensate, you're looking down on the steering wheel.
I love the rest of the car but this aspect leaves it off my favorite list.
It is virtually impossible to set the seating position right...unlesss you go under VR.

You've driven a real Aston? Damn!

Odds are your FOV value is far from accurate....

I also noticed that problem. It's impossible to see the car's gauges and the road at the same time.

It's no better in VR therefore has nothing to do with FOV. To see the dash you have to have your view so low you really don't get a feel for the front of the car.

From what I can tell and what RSS said on Discord around the time of its release its like this in the real car. Check this out:

Or look here at 5:20 to 5:40

The camera is where his lips would be roughly so you can imagine going up a few cm from what you're seeing but its still very low.

So nothing wrong with the mod then.

Maybe in this car you are supposed to see the track through the steering wheel instead of above it.

Haven't driven a race Aston but sat comfortably in my friends Vanquish.
The instrument cluster was very well placed relative to the seating position.

100% agree.
If you extrapolate for where his eye placement would be (relative to that camera), it'd be somewhere between the top opening and mid-point of the rim width.

Please watch that second video...replicate the driver's seating position, if you have the RSS car...take a screenshot and post it here.
I want to see what you personally come up with.
Here's a screen capture from the video.
I purposely made sure the sideview mirror was shown so you can use it for seating reference.
Thanks.
