Custom Camera
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 cyclecamera_custom_pitch
-- The angle the camera is atcamera_custom_rise
-- The height of the camera
To make these settings permanent put them in a file called autoexec.cfg in your user config/ directory. This file is loaded when you start Armagetron Advanced. If you modify the settings through the console they will not be saved after you quit. Putting them in autoexec.cfg insures they will not be wrote over when you upgrade to a new version.
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.
