I'm pretty sure that's this value in 'default.cfg' (for***pit view in this
case):
OrientationRate=(35.000000, 35.000000, 25.000000)
I've set the swingman ('chase view') cam to
OrientationRate=(360.000000, 360.000000, 360.000000)
The result is that there's no movement whatsoever in relation to car
handling (which sucks for this view, but I was just experimenting).
Other values:
PositionOffset=(0.000000, -0.028500, -0.0100000) \\(Left-Right, Up-Down,
Back,Forward)
- sets the exact position of the cam
OrientationOffset=(-0.030000, 0.000000, 0.000000)
- sets the direction (orientation angle) of the cam (I think)
I remember seeing some guide for this somewhere, for F12K1, probably on of
the racing forums. But usually I just wait till someone else comes up with
some good settings, and use those :-)
