    When I try to adjust my seating position back; the seat head restraints come into view blocking my view of the right side and some times left side mirror. Sometimes it even results in; I think they call it "near plane clipping"

    This happens in all GT4 cars (see images below)

    I run triple screen 1080p set up

    ok i think you should be able to see the images now.

    As you can see I'm not trying to move the seat back to an extreme position and I can certainly reproduce this in any car when moving to the extreme.

    My point been in the GT4's it seems to me that the default seating position is too close to the dash and moving the seat backwards just a bit starts to produce this problem

    I actually don't mind the circuit now; hated it at first but it's grown on me LOL

    Yeahs not really a bug but a design flaw I guess.
    They fixed a car last year that had the same problem..I think it was the new GT3 Audi

    I guess you can look at it this way; if you move a seat backwards or forwards, shouldn't the head restraint move with the seat? I understand tho that this is probably not possible in a game as it means having a separate overlay to the rest of the graphics BUT I know it can be fixed as they have done it before :D

    Having never driven in a race car with a head restraint I honestly don't know if it naturally obscures the view of the right mirror anyway

    Are you moving the seat or the camera? Aren't there two possibilitys? (Sorry, driving in VR for one year now, can't remember)

    The seat....I didn’t know that you can move a camera! I’ll have a look at that next time I’m playing

    I don't know really :\ Could be, that I'm wrong. I'm certainly a VR Seat Mover.

    It's described as moving the seat, but what you actually do is just move the camera.

    This can also happen the first time you set a wider FOV without adjusting the seat position.
