Title: Please Piboso, need an indicator for standing and sitting
Post by: davidboda46 on March 06, 2016, 12:21:18 AM
Right now it is very hard to know in 1st person if you are standing or sitting on the bike. A small indicator icon would really help. Maybe Max (MaxHud) could work something out if he had the data from you to do it?

Cheers,

Or just select the direct option for sitting and anytime you are pressing the button you know your sitting. If not, then your not

I would, but my custom controller is made in a way that it is very hard to keep holding a button and steering/using clutch at the same time. I do have an analog thumb button on the left side, and it has a button feature, much easier to just press once for sit/stand than holding it.

I think the indicator makes sense, just like the gear indicator (actually, even a bit more I'd say).
Direct option doesn't sound as a solution to the problem.

Just me, but I can't stand the toggle because I forget to press it to stand back up, lol. Love the direct option for this.

I have X for sit, and use square and O for down/upshift.

Puts it in good place where I can shift while sitting by rolling thumb over gears. If that makes any sense.

Hmm.....maybe u have too much mapped on custom controller?

I use right stick for rider movements, BUT I use auto rider movements. This way I only need to manually use it when needed.

So, basically my right thumb is mainly on x, o, square, lol.


Mine is a bit different... :)

I turn off hud completely in most games bc I like the immersion.. I only ride in 1st person and can easily see that I am seated or standing. The handlebars are considerably closer when seated and it becomes easy to know the more I play.

Sit and stand a few times to familiarize with the animation.

It's not always possible to see the handlebar. It depends on field of view setting, manual rider f/b lean and if you are turning or not. It can also be hard to see when the bike is moving a lot going over a series of bumps for example. I think an hud indicator (that can be turned on or off depending on your personal preference) is an easy solution.
