Cam 2 is really uncool -_-
whatever.. there enough numbers (4-6) to add standarts cams.. I can not believe that will be hard to add it back.

I agree with all you, I would like the old cam2 too.
Yesterday I read many people complain on that.
Hope Nadeo fix the cam2 before Stadium is released.

Personally i like the new cam 2, but i think it's better to keep this cam at other numbers and bring back the old cam 2 on number 2 Or a full custom cam :p

RPGs. Makes it easier, so you don't have to hunt all over looking for your car and the part of the map you're driving... just to get ideas about wayfind. No, for RPG driving the current cam7 in tm2s is preferred.

I am cam 1 driver since 2006 but nevertheless i have to agree that cam 2 is looking really weird.
It looks like a cam for editoring replays or something.

So in my opinion this cam either should be deleted and replaced by old cam 2 or old cam 2 should be added at e.g. 4 or 5 or 6.

greetz errish

The old cam2 should definitely be brought back to TM², as many players used it for years and it's fairly hard to get used to the new cam2 or cam1. Would be awesome to see it back, hope it's not so much work for the devs

In my opinion it depends on the resolution you play Tm, if the new or old one is better...

In my case I usually played with the new Cam 2 on 16:9 res. and after a few minutes on Techtracks my stomach turns upside down
If you play on 16:9. res. the new Cam 2 is horrible! But if you play on 4:3 res. it is not that bad.
Being able to chose between the new and old Cam 2 might be a good solution

So what causes the problems with the new Cam 2?
I tried it on my old System with a different resolution and and I think that I figured out whats wrong.
Most players just complain that the new Cam 2 is just to far away, but I don't think that that is the point. In my opinion the field of view is to large and the camera turns differently compared to the old one. Especially when you powerslide it looks like everythink is turning around

My Conclusion:
- The field of view for 16:9 res. is to large but for 4:3 it's okay
- The camera needs to turn around the car like it did in the old Cam 2 (no matter which res.)


I really hope that Nadeo is going to fix it

To put a hole in all of this chat, I actually like the new cam 2 and after driving the same track on both games, I still prefer the new cam 2. At first I thought it was rubbish, but after 10 mins or so I got used to it and now I find it weird going back to the old one!

So, just give the option of using old cam 2, or new cam 2. Just like CS:GO gives the option of classic (1.6) or new (cs:go) model placement. Another option is just to add the new cam 2 as cam 4 but I'd still like to be able to keep the new cam 2!

Simple solution:

Current Cam2 -> Cam4
Old Cam2 -> Cam2

and Old Cam7 -> Cam9
