GPL, new camera views

7 posts by 4 people · 11 Jul 1999 - 12 Jul 1999

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 [link lost in import] /petern

Thanks for pointing these out. The overhead view is lots of fun for watching replays. And thanks to Brian for the great work. don [|]-(_)-[|] >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. <snip> >/petern

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