I posted this in the RBR Club (Rally Frosty Finland) forum, but I'll add it here for better recording, in case it helps others.
Many cars in RBR or RSRBR have cockpit driving views that may not suit everyone, some are difficult to see the track, especially after the windscreen gets smashed badly. CamHack is a useful little tool to help here. You can set up preset custom driving views, including a hood/bonnet view that comes in handy if you smash the windscreen.
Attached is the Readme file from CamHack, don't know why they didn't include the readme in RSRBR since it includes the CamHack mod.
CamHack is already included in RSRBR2010 and can be loaded by pushing the button in RSCenter. You then have to set keys for enabling/disabling the mod, although default keys are already mapped. Have a look at them though, so you can see what keys do what. There are lots of options for adjusting things, but I basically only use forward, backwards, up, down.
You will probably have to set up the preset views to suit the car you plan to drive, the views vary from car to car. I always setup my preset view during a practice session off-line, that way I have plenty of time to fine-tune the view.
1. Keep CamHack running while running RBR (just minimise it).
2. When the Rally stage starts, hit the key to enable CamHack (it's * by default). You can disable Camhack whenever you want to go back to standard views (it's / by default).
3. With CamHack enabled, make sure you are in one of the two cockpit views, and adjust the view (driving position) by moving the camera back, forwards, up, down. You can get more sophisticated by playing with FOV etc, but I usually don't bother.
4. Once you get it to a desired driving view, save that position by hitting the "save" keys. By default that is "Left Control" or "left Alt" plus a number key (across the top of the keyboard, not the keypad). That key number then becomes your preset view for that car. Next time you start the game or stage, make sure you have CamHack loaded, activate it (the * button) when the stage starts, hit your preset key number, and away you go.
5. You can also setup more than one preset view by saving them to different numbers, and swap to those by hitting the preset key. eg. I have tried setting one to a better cockpit view for realism, but then a second to a bonnet view for when I smash the windscreen too badly.
6. You can swap back to the default views, by deactivating CamHack anytime by hitting the / key.
Ok that is a rough explanation, I hope that helps for now. It sounds complex, but after you play with it for a bit (but do it off-line in a practice session), it is actually very quick and easy to get a desireable view to suit yourself.
I am still without my gaming PC at the moment, so this is a rough explanation from memory.
I'll do a step by step tutorial later when I get set up again.
Good luck, but don't blame me if you get into strife, lool. :tongue:
