Rollbar view???? Bite your tongue blasphemer! You are hereby ordered to
pry the F10 key off your keyboard and incinerate it in your backyard
grill, never to be seen again. ;-)

Uh, I think he meant watching replay with rollbar view, f10 view isn't exactly
a rollbar view and who the hell can even drive using f10 view :).

I think that the tent-like cover is caused because the rollbar camera is too
close to drivers helmet and shows part of the helmet actually.

The lotus.cam file has not been changed from the standard one, the 'tent' is
as Pasi describes.

You can get plenty of alternate lotus.cam files in the various updates
sections at racesimcentral, Kev Clarke does some particularly good ones.

You just put the file in your cars67\lotus folder.

Ah OK, sorry. I just assumed that he was committing the ultimate GPL
sin. My apologies.

    Here followeth a reading from the Holy Book.

Chapter One Verse 17-19

   Thou Shalt NOT drive whilst floating above thine car.  Neither shouldst
thou drive whilst*** onto a rollbar.  Driving whilst surfing on the
nose of the car is right out!

   Doesn't say anything about replays.  I'll let him slide, but with a
warning.  Don't delve too deeply into the dark arts.  You may become
corrupted.

It's the edge of the helmet polygon.
Any cam file from any other car (as long as its not the default view)
will give you views from else where as long as you rename it lotus.cam

which moves the rollbar cam about 10cm further forward and misses that
polygon.

You guys are too strict. I do drive in rear view most of the time.
When I can get from plus 40 to plus 10 rank, I'll be glad to settle my
rump in the seat. I've been *** this sim almost every day for
four years, and I just managed to finish my first Pro race, 8th to
3rd. Besides, if I raise my eyes 10 degrees to a picture on the wall,
there's ME sitting in the seat of a REAL 1967 Repco-Brabham BT-24.
Now THAT'S realism!

Would that picture mean as much to you if you were standing behind the car
looking over the rollbar?  I thought not, that's the difference.  I'd rather
throw it in the trash than drive from anywhere except the***pit.
