Known Issues
* "Nose Cam" positions are not optimized to the mirrors' positions.
So, when you look left/right, the mirrors are not displayed correctly.

* "TV POD (OFFSET)" name is not displayed correctly in "RACE SETTINGS" menu.

* While using "Nose Cam", the camera position changes to "T-Cam" after Flashback.

Thank you very much for your kind comment, parginos.
This is very basic camera mod though, I sincerely appreciate your kind encouragement !

 

[Petar Tasev]

Nice work, good that you're uploading stuff. The Dirt 2 racing mod you did way back was great, you shouldn't have waited so long to release.

Keep going!

I specially like you nose cam, it reminds me of an old IndyCar racing game I loved back in the 90's cheers mate !

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Ryder25.
Racing Mod had been my dream since the first DiRT 1. And thank to your Database Editor, my dream had come true !
I'll never forget my appreciation to you and the community to make these modding possible.
Thank you again !

Thank you very much for your kind comment, blanes.
I also love 90s and early 00s old formula games and simulations and like the atmosphere of the nose cam too.
So, I'm really glad to be able to share this enjoyment with you and everyone.
Thank you again !

Thanks for this mod, Tommi.
Just tried and liked your new nose cam very much.
But about no look to apex, I usually use TV cam and like its original camera movement.
Is it possible to change its settings for each cam ?
Sorry for my question, but it would be nice if you can.

 

[Sebastian Kunze]

Gonna test it nice work

Thank you very much for your kind feedback and suggestion, Larry76. And I'm glad you like nose cam too.
This Mod includes 4 files (2 Fov x 2 Seat positions), so I added only No Look to Apex version to make it as simple as I can.
On the other hand, I agree the default T-Cam is very well adjusted (Look to Apex value 2.0000) and I feel good about it.
I can edit default Look to Apex (2.0000) version as well, and would like to try and test it. Please give me a little more time.
Thank you !

Thanks for your interest and letting me know, wikke1984.
I've updated my first post. And you can download the Mod from the new link.
I edited this Mod about 4 years ago. And at that time, I didn't have enough knowledge and experience about Codemasters Camera Modding. So this Mod is dated to be honest, sorry. Please use the Mod if it's ok for you.
Hope this helps.
