    Hey everyone! I'd like to know if there are any mods out there for the free cinematic view or if BeamNG has one already, how do we use it? Here is what I meant in the following link below. Thank you!

    Example Video:

    I wouldn't call that a cinematic camera. It's just the free camera press SHIFT+C on your keyboard to switch in or out of that view.

    Okay, but like how does this person keep the camera focused on the car while they are driving? It can't be the Shift+C because I have tried it and I cannot keep the camera focused on the car while driving to the scene...

    The video uses many static perspectives. The camera almost never executes a follow pan. That's because the videographer is using the free cam. In order to make it manageable they probably used an Xbox or Playstation controller. I just tried some similar pans to the few used in the video: they are easily achievable with an Xbox 360 controller.

    EDIT: fixed my usage of the term "follow pan"

    Okay, but I have a PS3 controller can that do the job? If yes how do I get this to work?

    Yes, there's a thread around here where that comes up. Both PS3 and PS4 controllers come up in this thread: http://www.beamng.com/threads/can-i-play-with-a-dualshock-4-controller.17454/

    Also, keep an eye on BASELKLALIB. Looks like that's something right up your alley. Note that the "Development Screens" thread is not the place to ask about a release. I'd send a PM or wait for a release thread.
