When using the external cam and trying to view the car (using the numpad), the camera resets when the car moves, i want it to be static... does any1 know how can i do this?

I like to know a better way to do it, but I havent tried hacking it yet. Only way to keep it still (that I know) is to press 2 (down) while you are moving the camera around the car. It isnt the easiest way of controlling views - I hate that "spring" cam too...:thumbdown:

i don't want to move the camera around the car, i want the camera to be static, not reset itself every time my car moves

Ok, there is a way to do it, but not without mods.
I have been messing around with SHIFT camera views lately and there might a solution for it.
I guess your SHIFT is unpacked? :?:

ofc it is...i play Shift unpacked cuz im doing drag races with a friend of mine on Nordschelife reversed (i need to modify it so i can play reverse), on that long straight ...
Oh and one more thing.... is there any program that modifies the camera's proprieties that works on 1.0.2 ? I have a program, but it no longer works for 1.0.2 :(

Ok. That long straight is fantastic. I wish it would be even longer than that.. :crying:
I have disabled that stupid limitation as well, IŽll drive whatever direction I want :thumbup:
I havent used that mod that controls cameras so I cant say, but it seems there isnt one for 1.02 yet.
However - I modded camera files a bit, removed some I dont need while I drive (bumber/bonnet-cams etc.) but some cinematic cameras are still there.
I think that offers the kinda cameras you are after (9 in total)
If you need it fast I can email that file to you. I later release it here as a mod (after some extensive tweaking)

Man i just want the external cam not to reset itself to the back of the car every time the car moves.... for example if i move the camera on the side of the car (using name numpad keys) while its standing, the second i move the car, it starts to rotate back to the original state of the camera (meaning, at the back of the car) I DONT WAN'T THAT, i want for it to stay where i put it...

There's something here that makes the camera rotate back to its original position ... but what? it has to be something

Well, if six FIXED camera angles (they dont rotate, only the car moves around) are not enough, I am afraid I cant help you. :ohmy:
I know that the data for making the camera stay put is there (in cameraconfig.xml), but I havent found it yet. Some need lots of testing, and my time these days is limited.

I PERFECTLY know what you mean, the fact is that I dont know where the code is to prevent it doing that. :-)
I am doing so many things currently in SHIFT (painting cars, doing new track textures + hacking camera and physics files)
I can add some cameras that stay fixed, but removing that "spring" from the chase cam :thumbdown:
These cams at the beginning stay fixed, however you cant rotate them freely:

Well, some angles from REPLAY cinematic camera. But many are new.
Havent edited them yet, but still .... Now I can drive my car in SHIFT using those.

Well, its a special car for a special purpose.
If space is premium and there is only few meters to park your car, which one would you take? :?:
#1 Smart?
#2 Cadillac Escalade?
And I am not even mentioning emissions or fuel usage.. :huh:
