Five Gran Turismo 7 settings you need to change before getting behind the wheel

techradar.com:

Gran Turismo 7 is a fantastic showcase of what the PS5 can do and a triumphant return to form for developer Polyphony Digital’s long-running racing sim series. But before you get behind the wheel and set a new hot lap on Tsukuba Circuit, we’ve found five Gran Turismo 7 settings that you’ll definitely want to change.

From adjusting audio options to simple quality of life changes, these tweaks all add up to make the game even more enjoyable than it already is. And you never know: there might be a few settings here that you weren’t aware of, so take a look at our top suggestions below and give them a try the next time you hit the track.

Gran Turismo 7’s opening cinematic is a beautifully choreographed work of art that needs to be seen at least once. However, it's over seven minutes long.

Thankfully, there is a way to stop it from playing every time you start the game – handy if you’re tired of pressing Circle to skip it. 

To turn off GT7’s opening cinematic, head to the game’s options by pressing the start button when you’re on the main map screen. In the Global menu setting, you should see a tile called ‘Opening Movie’, click on it and toggle the ‘Play Opening Movie’ to off. It’s as easy as that.

If you’re a fan of the cockpit view, which lets you see the gorgeous, unique interiors of each vehicle, there’s an option to adjust the default setting that’s well worth tinkering with – especially if you’re using a racing wheel or even the DualSense’s motion control options.

During a race, press start and go to Settings > Display Settings. Scroll to the bottom and you should ‘Adjust Cockpit View’ and ‘Adjust Chase View’. Click on ‘Adjust Cockpit View’, and you’ll see options to adjust the Height, Depth, Orientation, and Wobbling type.
