N4 - Can I tweak the views?

by The Morano » Wed, 07 Mar 2001 15:53:12

I like the unobstructed bumper view in Nascar 4 but would prefer that the
viewpoint be raised to the normal seating height.  Any ideas how I could
tweak a file to get that?

Another alternative would be to be able to choose the***pit view but kill
the***pit graphics.

I could choose the hood view but I want to improve my frame rate and I
suspect  the 3D drawing of the hood is sapping my frame rate since the
bumper view is so much smoother.

Has anyone observed the same and had any success?

Sorry no solution, but I agree with everything you said.  I just use roof
cam and bump the graphics down a notch to compensate - racing in bumper cam
is absolutely no good for the restrictor plate tracks.

I get the same frame rates regardless of which view I use--it is the mirror
that drags things down.  You need it.  None of the views except the***pit
view are at the right height and position in the car, so they are all pretty
useless for actually racing (though they look great).

Thanks for the explanation.  The roof cam it is.
