Okay can answer one of them

3DSimeD cannot open the car models properly as yet, nothing like it did for 2010.

Not unless I am doing something wrong.

 

[RossoNeri89]

RealCam Mod by M4MKey

Okay... Okay ! Here it will be !

As some people ( actually two ) asked for something by me. And as I am too kind ( and want too much to mess with thoses cams ), I'll make a new RealCam Mod for this F1 2011 !!

I started to tweak files two hours ago And i'm already pretty confident that some great things can be done. Way better than in F1 2010. Forget actionmaps edited, this is gonna work without it !

I'm uploading a little lap at Melbourne with my preprepreAlpha version of my cams
In this video you'll see :

- FOV 70. Better look-to-Apex, increased wind shakings ( especially at +300Kph with DRS )

Just hope that this time some thiefs will not steal my work !

Here is what cams are looking like :

Cockpitcam




Tcam




Nose Cam





Alpha version here : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FIVGX6CW

 

[Diego Lopez]

nice

 

[Jan Köhler]

Appreciate it! Thank you very much.
At least this is one good point about getting the game late (and due to a business trip from firday to sunday I will play Monday for the first time): I will have nice cameras, corrected car liveries etc. jsut from the beginning

 

[Szeky]

Dude from what it sounds like...i FKing love it,thank you for listening to my request,really looking forward to this mod as the game is unplayable with the default cams...cant wait!

 

[Andreas Forslund]

Is there any possibility to remove the shaking in cockpit cam? This shaky vision is hurting my eyes.

 

[M4MKey]

Well... As stated. This is just an early early early version. Stop whinning already... I already decreased the wind tilt. But it's still way more present than by default.

 

[Hakana]

Nice nice its way better than the cm original, there's console crap, for mercedes pls upload

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Just hope that this time some thiefs will not steal my work

If they do please drop James or me a pm and will hit the banstick harder than last year. People stealing eachothers work will not be tolerated.

However we need you guys to report posts that contain material that is not allowed. We only have two pair of eyes and can't check it all what is uploaded here to RD.

On topic: movie looks awesome! :thumb: If possible could you lower the camera a little bit more so you cannot see the nose of the car, just like in real life F1?

 

[M4MKey]

Well.. I find the cockpit pretty low already. When the driver turns, his hands are taking the whole screen If I lower the cam more i'm afraid that we will not be able to see anything anymore !

By the way, a lot of things must still be done. I'm trying to make the Tcam static right now. The rearview is like was the Realcammod v2.0 by myself for F1 2010

 

[Andreas Forslund]

Well... As stated. This is just an early early early version. Stop whinning already... I already decreased the wind tilt. But it's still way more present than by default.

I'm sorry, I meant the default cockpit cam. I'm not bashing your mod. I should have posted this in the mod req. thread.

 

[M4MKey]

Oh :o Default cockpitcam's shakings are hurting you ?? :x

 

[Andreas Forslund]

Oh :o Default cockpitcam's shakings are hurting you ?? :x

Yes. Is there a way to remove them with a mod?

 

[Christopher Brown]

Fantastic work
Glad your making mods again M4MKey.
Can't wait to see what more you come up with.

Hi Mate,

Great news you are working on some nice new cams already!

I just wanted to say I already made a mod for fully static T-CAMs for all cars (including rearview and split screen). It's not released yet, but if you want I can send to you as a base for the teams who's camera's you haven't started on yet . It's really easy to do, just a little time consuming, so if I can save you some minutes by sharing what I've done already I'm happy to

Let me know
