GPL Overhead camera view for replays

HI, I remember seeing/reading somewhere that there is a camera view that allows you to view the reply from above (like "micro machines"), so that you can check how much of the track you use through the corners. Anybody any ideas if i've just gone mad or does this exist ????????? thanks, mark.......

I've seen it, but darned if I can remember where. But, can't you see the line you take from the chase view?

It is actually a completley separte replay angles, I have it, but as said by others, have NO idea where I got it from. "Art McEwen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a14rl1$cet$[email hidden]...

Search for a car cam utility. There exists a utility that will let you reconfigure all the car cameras. Use it to move one of those views that you never use to the position you want. -- -asbjxrn

What you're looking for is Brian Heiland's nifty car cam editor, which you can get at: http://www.fortunecity.com/underworld/3d/797/ Have fun! SB "Asbj�rn Bj�rnstad" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Is it possible to change the angle and/or position of the camera used during races, or only the camera choices used in replays? When I'm learning a new track, I like to run a few laps in chase mode so I can get a better view of the road ahead, but I'd like to be able to adjust the angle and position of the camera a bit.

Going from distant memory; in the [personal information] stanza of your player.ini file, you can change drivingView = 1 to drivingView = 12, giving you the rollbar view, IIRC. Since you can adjust this view with the carcam editor, this should give you the tweakability you want. If you hit F10 while driving, it will revert to the standard views, and you'll have to re-edit your player.ini file. Cheers, SB PS - I think all this can be done with the GPLForever Camera Control Master, as well. "ss" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:W4xZ7.11$[email hidden]...

I've got a couple of car cams on my web page http://www.gpljunk.nildram.co.uk/~kclark/index.htm that have the overhead view. Just rename it to the car make you want to use it on. Also, the GPLforever Camera Control Manager allows you to fly round courses and place the camera wherever you like. Kev

Thanks, all, i'll try the options and see what happens. Eldred, the main reason for asking this was the item i originally saw seemed to offer a better view, and being as my cornering is a bit doggish i thought it might help. markp...
