[dunno if someone has already asked this, sorry ]

Does anyone know what the in-game cameras are like during loops in Canyon? I know in TMU environments you can barely see where you're going in a natural 1 or 2 cam, which is always a pain in the @ss...

well in the gameplay videos I saw camera 1,2 and 3. But you can also add your favourite cam in the loop in the mediatracker ( if it''s your track)

I'm not pretty sure but in the demo there was also camera 2 when he made a loop. It was actually the same crap as in TMUF in camera 2, where you can*t see the loop really good. That's why I always have cam 1 and 3 keys on my controller

I am sure it will be like TMUF, where it is hard to see the loops with cam 1 or cam 2. Therefore players are using the mediatracker and set a cam3 for every loop. It's a good solution in my eyes because it works

I also remember an interview (but dont know which video) where say somethin of difference cams in loops/walls explaining (to the journalist) what is possible to do with the mediatracker.

It is the same as before, You use mediatracker, the only difference is that the tracks in the campaign all have MT so the have it!

I think in TM Wii and TM DS 1/2 this problem is really good solved: You drive mainly in Cam1 (or Cam2/3, when you want), and when you ride on a loop, it "changes" to some sort of Cam2, where you can see excctly where you drive, so you don't hit the walls like in TMUF.
This would maybe also be a possibility for TM2...

Yeah, of course I know about cam switches in mediatracker, but I figured the cams for TM2 may work a little better..?

Either way it probably won't be that hard to fix. thanks for the info though

it has the same exact camera functions, or atleast at e3 it did. But nothing says u can't make your own angle with the custom cams

really hope Cam2 will return to the MT section (prefabricated) as it was left out in tmuf for some reason.
Try driving downhill on stadium concrete and your carmodel blocks your view in cam outside (cam1)

What I would really like is some sort of camera "node" that is anchored to x point that would serve as a virtual cockpit--and each car has to have one, designed or default. That way, if in MT you set a point to have an actual "internal" view, not just a bumper-cam, it doesn't wig out if you have a custom 3D model. It can just auto-anchor to the node.
