    Hey,

    I do not know what, but something is different with new update. I tried to change every camera settings what i found but nothing helps. With new update came somekind different camera "mod"

    I think that everyone have it like this now. Maybe i try to make a video later but camera moves different like it used before. example when i'm in the orbit view (i expect it's now this mode like before was usual "out view") and move the camera with mouse - for example watch car by side, then when i press "C" again few times to go back to the orbit view it stays where i move'd it with mouse. Before it was reset what i did and moved camera back to the end of the car to drive. Then the camera moves with car (not so much like with chase camera) but still moves. When i roll over the car, then camera rolls over with car too. Before it was not happening.

    Well, shortly its more like need for speed game now.

    Sorry for my bad english end messy text, but maybe you got what i mean.

    The one you are describing is called 'chase':

    If you press 'c' again, you will go back to 'orbit':

    I hope this helps you. :)

    Camera holded still and care moved. If you turned quikly to the left or right camera still holded still and you can see car by sides


    No is like this.
    I start the game and view is @ orbit by deafult. Camera shows me the side of the car. I drag the camera in the right place with mouse and start drive. if i reset the car. Camera is again in the somekind weird positsion... like shows me front/side of the car and i must drag the camera again in the back of the car to see where im driving.
    Other issue is that camera is little like mounted to the car with "rubber". It not act so stiff like in "Chase" mode but still it moves little with car

    "NUMPAD 5" is the key to reset the camera direction, and of course you can map the action (Center Camera) to something else if you like. Cycling through the cameras to reset is not how we intended it to work before, but it just happened to work that way too.

    On writing the new camera code, we felt it more important to remember the states of each camera and only reset when the user directly intends to. This way you can set up special camera orientations, then cycle through or switch vehicles and still come back to the same view. Useful for controlling multiple cars or for video production.

    Old camera is 'ORBIT'
    New camera is 'CHASE'.

    Simply use ORBIT camera to get the same camera you had before.
    You can change the default camera the game uses from Options > Gameplay (Should be already set to ORBIT)
