    Hello i'm new to this game, i have the tech demo and i am interested in buying it, is there a possible way to have a outside camera from the back of your car that always faces forward as you drive? the one that's in the game already moves without me wanting it too. Any help?

    We are aware of the problems with the 3rd person camera and will work on fixing them. You can hit the numpad 5 key repeatedly to keep it facing forward :)

    Sorry to be nagging but one question, will this fix remove the backlash/play/clearance (no idea whats the right word) of the cam, meaning, will it get a fixed position and angle like on a pair of beams or will it still be able to have some delay in following changes of the cars orientation and show the car from the inside of the courner while driving a courner?

    I'm not quite sure if I follow - do you mean how tightly the camera follows the car's change in rotation? I believe there's an adjustable value for that in the Lua somewhere. We'll eventually make it an adjustable option in the menu :)

    Yes i think i mean that... but to get sure we are on the same thing, here are two pictures.

    Free Cam shows the actuall behaviour of the camera which allignes itsself to the main travel direction, with a slight delay which makes it stay a littlebit inside the courner in my feeling.
    Fixed cam shows the position in which a camera with a fixed positon would be in the same moment.

    An adjustable option in the menu would be very nice and handy to have as different driving styles/adventures get favoured by faster or slower delays in automatic camera movements i think. :)
