How to get back the door/wheel camera?

Some previous version of the game had a camera besides the car facing forward, front wheel still in view. This camera mode seems to have been removed for a while now (some mod cars still have it).

How do I get it back?
Do I need to create a custom camera?
If so, how do I do that?

 

Edit, I understand you better. You're talking about the relative camera. It still works, but it has a different default. (No longer the wheel). Use WASD to move the relative camera.

 

Are you referring to this camera view?

 

My monster truck has a "wheel" camera. I had to define a custom camera for it.

Node 490 is the POV/focus.

Code:

"camerasInternal":[
  ["type","x","y","z","fov","id1:","id2:","id3:","id4:","id5:","id6:"],
  {"nodeWeight":1.5},
  {"selfCollision":false},
  {"collision":false},
  {"beamSpring":125000,"beamDamp":100},
  {"beamDeform":5000000,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"},
  ["dash",0.00,-0.28,3.10,80,"str","n33","n34","n43","n44","e1"],
  ["wheel",1.75,-0.28,1.25,85,"str","n5","n53","n54","n86","e1"],
  ],

 

Thanks, this basically works. Any way to save a position?

Yes, that looks like it.

 

There's a section of code in the Jbeam file for each vehicle that's commented out. If you un-comment it, it adds that old camera mode. It's located in the camera internal section of the (main/body/frame) Jbeam file.

Spoiler: Code for Civetta Bolide

Code:

    "camerasInternal":[
        ["type", "x", "y", "z", "fov", "id1:", "id2:", "id3:", "id4:", "id5:", "id6:"],
        {"nodeWeight":2.2},
        {"selfCollision":false}
        {"collision":false}
        {"beamSpring":120000,"beamDamp":645},
        //hood cam
        ["hood", 0.0, -0.7, 1.1, 65, "c3r","c5r","c5l","c3l","c4r","c4l"{"beamDeform":5001000,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"}],
        //fender cam
        //["fender", -1.3, 0.3, 0.65, 65, "c3r","c5r","c5l","c3l","c4r","c4l"{"beamDeform":5001000,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"}],
        {"beamSpring":500, "beamDamp":80},
        {"selfCollision":true}
        {"collision":true},
        //dash cam
        ["dash", 0.414, 0.28, 1.01, 55, "rf1","rf1l","rf3","rf3l","c4r","c4ll"{"beamDeform":5001000,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"}]
    ],

Notice the "//" before "["fender", -1.3, 0 . . . ]". If you remove the "//", it adds that camera view to the car.
