    Hi all! I was wondering if i could edit some setting about the swingman camera.
    The camera is not "following" the car but it's pretty loose. On some slow hard turns the camera almost reaches the side of the car. I remember that in rF1 the camera was way more "attached" to the rear of the car.
    So i wanted to know if i can edit something or if there's a way to make a mod for that because i heard a few swingman users complaining about this.
    I really hope I explained myself well.
    Thanks in advance!

    Not easy for the user to change because of rFactor's packing system. Also, if it's a S397 car then it will be encrypted too.
    The person that made the car can change a line in the .cam file of their car called OrientationRate=(),. Changing the first number to a high number like 999 will keep the camera more attached.

    What happens if you turn off camera stabilization?

    Pretty nothing. I think that the stabilization only works for VR headsets.

    I think this is by design, since rF1. Recently the swingman became rigidly oriented to the car, perhaps in combination with horizon stabilization, but that was a bug and has been fixed.

    i understand the question in a way that S397 has change the defaut view.

    i use a lot swingman view for skinpack, for screenshot photos and race incident report after races.
    when i press 5 of Keypad it is no more an average drivable view to see all around
    i have default keys that works well:

    4 and 6 to turn around left and right
    2 and 8 to go lower or higher
    7 and 9 for zoom out and zoom in

    recent LMU release provide a "normal" swingman view


    swingman cam can be edited but as a local file,
    not online (mismatch)
