Do these cameras need improvment?

    I played with the chase and top-down camera and I did not like it very well... the top-down camera made it hard to see if I'm going down hill. However,I think this is what I get so I'll skip that one. The chase camera, however, seems to sit too low to me... Maybe this can be fixed? If there IS a problem with the top-down camera, let me know... Thanks for a good response!

    EDIT: I tried the chase cam with a non-mod vehicle (moonhawk custom) and it seems to be at a weird position, does this need improvement?

    The screenshot is normal.
    The chase camera is supposed to be used for hardcore driving (or drifting eventually). It allows you to see more of what's coming in front of you.
    Using that camera with mods may cause unexpected results, as it heavily relies on the vehicle itself for good placement.

    Ok... it does remind me of more arcade cameras like in need for speed games!
    EDIT: That does leave one thing though... what is the purpose of the top down camera?

    Just a fun mode more or less.
    You can disable camera mods that are no use for you from the Options > Camera menu.

    Ok, the mode is fun because it emulates older games!
