I have yet to dive into the code, but creating a camera that just positions itself behind the vehicle should be easy enough, if the functions are available in the code for anyone to work with. If the camera uses a matrix, it should be extremely easy. I've written custom cameras for MTA fairly easily that update pre client render and are really smooth. I suspect something similar is available within Torque3D and/or BeamNG.
The camera is a hell of a problem. 1. I have to drag the mouse for kilometers to make it move 2. Moving the camera with the numpad is a pain since it gets in contrast with the automatic movement of the camera 3. The automatic movement makes no sense at all. There should be an option to make the movement full manual
There seems to be no way to set camera speed. I searched through most of the Scripts Right now it's kind of slow using the Xbox controller's right analog stick.

Inverted camera controls were a pain. Now you don't have to wait for the updated controls in a new patch. This information was buried in another thread...I am pretty sure you can do the same for the mouse.
