Hey guys... looked at similar threads but couldn't find same suggestion.

So what I mean is, it would be cool to give a camera fixed point and then make it follow the car without changing its position, basically turning around and moving up and down as it's quite impossible to get quick shots on a straight where car moves at high speed and you have to do manually - with a mouse Also then have some keyboard shortcut for zoom (can't remember the real name for it)

:P What dya think?

Have you tried setting up a custom camera for the car?

Yes, and that's not what I meant with previous post

Fixed camera point like, on side of the track that would follow the car as it passes but wouldn't change it's location. Would stay still basically

Do you get what I mean now?

Is this coinsidence or why do I always get replies from either scotts or irish people

just move your mouse over in shift+u. simple as cake.

5=zoom in
6=zoom out
Well, that changes the FOV at least which is basically zooming.

But that's incredibly shakey. Not even realistic like camera shake, just really crappy looking.

I stated disadvantage of doing that in my first post sir!

It's not bad if you're not zoomed too much and if teh car is moving slowly.

Different situation if the car is doing over 200 km/h on a straight

go get the LFS TV Director from the addon's forum, backup the cam file for the track you want, then go delete all the cameras on the track, add your one camera where you want, and you're done.
