I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the new camera views created by
Brian Heiland.

Downloaded just for fun, didn't expect much, and was pleasantly
surprised.
TV 1, TV 2, InCar and Chase are same as before, but RollBar is now a
view from ontop of the engine/gearbox looking backwards. Great view of
rear suspension working overtime.
Nose view is now a bit in front of the car, looking back.
Gearbox is a view from in front of the car just an inch above the
road, also looking back but offset to the right side of the car so you
can see behind you.
FrontSuspension is a top down view some 100 feet above the cars.
RearSuspension is a view from just beside the right rear tire with the
view slightly angled so you can see ahead of the car but also a great
view of the driver sweating at the wheel.

Get them, install them and see for yourself!

They are available at http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Thanks for pointing these out. The overhead view is lots of fun for watching
replays.

And thanks to Brian for the great work.

Yes, those who race with "driving view=12" will be in for an unpleasant
surprise!

For those who want to switch the drive you back, I have made my edit program
available from a link on http://home.ptd.net/~heiland

All I ask is that anyone that uses the program and distributes new cameras
mention they made the changes with my program.

Glad you guys like the new angles.
The program used to create those angles is available through my site (Site
badly in need of updates!)  at
http://home.ptd.net/~heiland
The site with the camera program is on a new site of mine, but a link from
the main page is available.
