The custom camera, unlike the smart camera, does not swing widely around when you turn, and it stays at a fixed pitch, rise, and back.

Settings

There are three settings that affect your custom_camera:

  • camera_custom_back -- The position of the camera behind the cycle
  • camera_custom_pitch -- The angle the camera is at
  • camera_custom_rise -- The height of the camera

You must edit these settings in your configuration files to make them become permanent. If the settings are changed through the console they will be lost upon quit. You can do this by opening your user.cfg file (located with the other configuration files, which varies from installation to installation) and copy and paste the examples here. NOTE: It is easier to find a suitable setting by using the console though, so you don't have to keep logging in and out.

Examples

Please add any good combinations that you find!
