Hi, i'm new at this game, and i loved, because it wasn't arcade like other games, but i cant see the pilot arms and legs on cockpit view!

Can someone help me ?

Hello and welcome to LFS.
Go to: Options -> View -> set Draw driver / wheel both ON.

im seriously wondering for years why this isnt by default on

You are not the only one.

I can see my own arms and steering wheel, I don't want to see an extra set

Same here, it would add so much. Those who don't go to Options immediately could be disappointed. I would get it if it didn't show anything (ad Bean0's reply), but now it shows ONLY the steering wheel, which doesn't make much sense either for wheel or mouse/keyboard drivers.

You can never have too many arms.

Right, most of wheelers prefer to have wheel OFF, driver OFF.

On the other side, mouse drivers prefer wheel ON, driver ON.

Obviously neither side prefer having wheel ON without driver. Like Flame said there are people that don't immediately check options and that default option doesn't make sense for neither.
Infact I think driver ON/OFF thing is absolutely unnecessary, it should be ON as long as wheel is ON. I don't want some kind of telekinetic forces turning wheel

I happen to be one of the drivers who use wheel ON, driver OFF. I always found the driver arms distracting but the wheel is a good for reference for the mouse.

inb4 ray comes in with his iracing video showing only wheel and no arms XD

Maybe there should be a question during the first startup: "Do you want to see your arms?" :huepfenic

twice

On topic: I'm still driving with arms off and wheel on, bad habits carry on along the years. LFS has an acceptable set of steering wheels, unlike iRacing which resulted in an insta turn-off.

Reading people's settings made me think... it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a webpage where people would submit their LFS cfg files and it would show some stats about everyone's settings.

Sorry, but my .cfg is my intellectual property (ba-dum-tsss)

I like that idea

But as some people already expressed that they rather would not share their cfg and some data there could be indeed seen as private, maybe a better approach would be to make a survey. Include all options where changing default values would make sense, or atleast a separate thread where we could share our settings, experiences because we are kinda offtopic.

That option isn't the only one with wrong default value, there are a lot more. If some option/s affirm to be wrong by most of users, we could perhaps suggest changing default value to devs.

I'm one of the ON/OFF guys because I don't like to see the driver arms, as I have my own ones already, but if I turn wheel completely off, the driving view feels just empty. I use it like that in iRacing too, but for example in RBR I have everything turned off (well it doesn't even have hands )

Follow view FTW

Haha, oh hell yes!!!

You can turn off the wheel in RBR?

Quote from Keling :

Yeah! Easiest way to turn it off is with RBR-World mod, as you can adjust your cam view from the launcher But it has a checkbox for "Turn off wheel" or something

/Sorry for off-topic.

RSRBR should never be off topic here, the two best racing sims after all.
