NFS-SE perspective change in spins

I finally gave in and bought myself a CH Racing Systems wheel last week, which came with NFS-SE. The game rocks! However, there's one little 'feature' which drives me nuts. Everytime I start to spin out, the perspective would suddenly change to the overhead-cam and completely ruin my rhythm. This is fine if I'm actually about to crash, but quite often I've induced some tail spin on purpose to get around a corner faster. Normally, it's not too bad on the normal pavement, but it makes rally mode almost undrivable. :( I was really looking forward to playing the game in rally mode, but this makes me so *sed off and I really wanna flame somebody for it... :-) Anyway, does any one know if it's at all possible to turn this little misfeature of? (Even if it involves a hex editor...) Thanks. hai -- To reply to me by email, please remove 'nospam' from the return address and replace with 'pham'.

This is a well documented gripe with NFS and NFS/SE ... NFS2/SE allows complete in-car crashed. There is no way to get around it w/the version that you have. And you are right, the game rocks. Doug

That's how the game is. It can't be changed. NFS2, however, allowed for complete in car views. But they also ruined the entire playability of the game at the same time. Stick to the original NFS.
