Helpful Game Settings

I got these from the internets and altered it a bit


For First Person View beginners:
Go to the "Settings" and then the “Controls” menu and make the following changes for optimal First Person Settings:

1) Turn off “first person ragdoll.” With this setting off, if you are knocked down while in first-person, you will switch to third-person.

2) Turn on “third person cover.” This will switch to third-person when you enter cover.

3) Turn off “first person combat roll.” This will switch to a quick third-person shot when you roll, then return to first-person.

4) Turn off “head bobbing” to give the gameplay a smoother flow.

5) When aiming click R3 to toggle between aiming methods (aiming down sight / with reticle).

For advanced First Person View settings / players:
Go to the "Settings" and then the “Controls” menu and make the following changes for optimal First Person Settings:

1) Turn on “allow independent camera modes.” This will allow you to use different modes for different situations. One favored option is to play in first-person, but switch to third-person when you enter a vehicle.
2) Change “first person control type” to the Standard FPS setting. This will give you a controller setup similar to those used in common FPS games, such as sprinting with R3 or L3.
3) Lower “first person look-around sensitivity” to the level you prefer. Try a few and see which feels the best to you. Some prefer it all the way down.
4) Also lower the “third person look-around sensitivity.” Some people find it ideal at around 40%.
5) Put “first person aiming sensitivity” on its lowest setting. This will make it slower and easier to aim when you aim down the sights, just like in FPS games. When aiming click R3 to toggle between aiming methods (aiming down sight / with reticle).
6) For “third person aiming sensitivity,” you might prefer it to be slightly higher, at around 20%.
7) Put “first person aim/look deadzone” on its lowest setting. This will minimize the delay between your control input and its effect in the game.
8) Do the same for “third person aim/look deadzone.”
9) Put “first person aim/look acceleration” on its highest setting. This will increase the responsiveness of the controls.
10) Do the same for “third person aim/look acceleration.”
11) Put “vehicle camera height” on its highest setting.
12) Turn “auto level camera” off so the camera will remain as you’ve positioned it, instead of automatically looking ahead when you move.
13) Adjust “field of view” to the setting you’re most comfortable with. Lower settings will bring it closer to typical FPS fields of view, but you might prefer it higher.
14) Turn off “first person ragdoll.” With this setting off, if you are knocked down while in first-person, you will switch to third-person.
15) Turn on “third person cover.” This will switch to third-person when you enter cover.
16) Turn off “first person combat roll.” This will switch to a quick third-person shot when you roll, then return to first-person.
17) Turn off “head bobbing” to give the gameplay a smoother flow.

Miscellaneous:

1) For First Person Racing: Make sure to choose a car that hasn't got tinted windows or a big ass engine popping out the top of your hood, so you'll have a clear view on all sides. If your car gets stuck or when you're disorientated you can press the circle button to quickly switch to 3rd person view and get out of that jam. However, it's highly recommended NOT to hold the circle button during a whole first person event (like our own GCCC's First Person 420 Friday event hosted by docmedpot ), because it ruins the first person experience and people might think of you as a try-hard. 
2) Walking and shooting: The first person view gives you the ability to strafe and walk backwards more easily. This can be very useful in jobs with obstacle course elements in them as well.
3) The dashboards and car interiors look amazing when you're in first person view. The speedometers actually work (e.g. the Insurgent) and some cars have car stereo displays that actually show the current radio station / song that is playing (e.g. the Carbonizzare).
