The Top-Down camera doesn't work properly anymore

    Previously, when I attempt to use the top-down camera, the camera would zoom in and out according to my speed. But now, it's broken and does the following:

    1. Upon using it for the first time, it will zoom out to the largest possible distance (i.e. I could see the entire map)
    2. It begins to zoom in in a rapid pace until it stops above my car (normal at this point)
    3. But when I speed up, the camera doesn't adjust according to my speed.

    Playing a Liberty City mod for this game, not having the top down camera as an option kinda feels like an incomplete experience...

    Just read the patch notes and tested it out.
    Now works as intended :)
    Thanks for the fix!

    Edit:
    While you're here, though... i do have a few suggestions to add to the camera:
    1. Implementing a modifier that affects the rate of zoom with the car's speed
    2. A top down camera that would "chase" the car (think GTA Chinatown Wars)
    3. Adjustment of the audio so it would be of closer relation to the car, perhaps?

    The first and third may be the more realistic ones, but the second one just an idea I want to put forward.
    And that should be it. Thanks again!
