Sound from camera location instead of car?

[dylbie]

This bug is particularly annoying when trying to make videos.

The track makers do an awesome job of sighting cameras around the circuit, but sometimes there are times when you want to move the camera for a better cinematic effect.

Something that really highlights this issue is when moving the camera really close to the track. Ie if you put a camera in the kerb. Church Corner at Thruxton has a camera here if you're wondering what I'm talking about. Anyway, it really ruins a video and makes it impossible to make videos from these camera locations when the sound doesn't match.

Its one of those things that probably isn't high on the priority list of things to do, but it would be nice if it was looked into.

END moves you to the next camera in that trackside camera set, so you should get the sound from that camera position before you move it. If you move it, the sound will remain at where that camera started NOT where your car is.

Not sure I'd call this a "bug". My guess would be that it was just designed that way for one reason or another.
That's not to say I wouldn't like to have the option of making the cam mic "portable" as soon as you hit END.

Valid point! Bad choice of words.

If Pearce is correct in his previous post regarding the coding, then hopefully it can be a simple fix Maybe ISI can give him a job... He's been coding since he was 12 you know!

And, if I remember correctly, his dad has a genious IQ and agrees with him. So yeah, give the guy a job.

All kidding aside, it'd make video creation a lot easier and a lot more fun, so I hope the change can happen sometime.

I assume you are including all sims in that statement.

The others barely have any " live free-roam " usability ?

You need menus to make changes in others.

rF2 has 40 camera controls you can assign.

The best camera control imho remains in Grand Prix Legends, "fly by wire" with GPLCCM Camera Control Master by Peter Van Der Burg

Ok... I didn't want to brag about myself, but my IQ is actually higher than my dad ('bout 165 last I checked) so... Thing about Aspergers, you can be extremely intelligent in some ways but a complete moron in every other way LOL. We "aspies" don't think like "regular" people and tend to have some sociopathic tendencies, yet at the same time feel very strongly about certain things. Miserable life.

And, believe it or not, I really think very lowly of myself, despite how "arrogant" I may seem...

Anyway, this is the rF2 forum not the mental health forum, to back to the topic...

Yes, the mic should DEFINATELY move with the END cams, period. The sound moves when you hit end, so it's just as easy for the sound to move when you hit camera move left, am I right?

END moves you to the next camera in that trackside camera set, so you should get the sound from that camera position before you move it. If you move it, the sound will remain at where that camera started NOT where your car is.

Yes, but if you are using a driving camera and move the camera out of the car, the mic stays in the car. That is what I was referring to.

No, the sound doesn't move when you hit End. That's what is being talked about.

And it's 'definitely'. Sorry, I don't normally do that, but.... ah well.

LOL I started the thread, I know what is being talked about. It does move when you hit End. It doesn't move when you move the camera manually using the camera left/right/up/down/forward/back keys.
