I like the cockpit view also, the chase views just seem like a video game. What I liked about the old SBK2000/2001 games was that in cockpit mode there were a few times my concentration level was so high afterward it almost felt like I was on a bike for real.
There are some real bugs in the game with the joystick problems being the biggest one. My throttle axis isn't recognized so I was forced to use the stick axis as brake and throttle. Other ones are the "reset" to chase view with each race and having to pick your rider and team each time you start the game.
But on my computer with everything turned on maximum I have to say the graphics are very good, better than the old games (I should hope after 8 years!). The tracks don't seem as...treacherous as on the old games. Case in point the chicane at Kyalami. In the old game you would have been launched off the bike when hitting the curb, now you can ride over it without problems.
Does anyone have a scanned copy of the manual yet?
