Bonnet (Hood) Camera Position Adjustment

Mikeymead · May 4, 2020

Hi, I have one car where the bonnet (hood) camera position is too far back and basically gives you a nice nearly full screen view of the rear view mirror!

I maybe wrongly assumed that I could adjust this in the cars data camera config file, having played about with these I find that what ever I change seems to have no effect at all. I've cycled through all of the camera views just to make sure I've not altered the wrong camera. Any tips or pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Mike.

The bonnet and bumper cam coordinates are in car.ini.

I've been looking everywhere but I can't find this car.ini file, where is it supposed to be?

a bit late but...
You go to your cars folder, if you're using content manager that would be in the bottom left, then go to data, and it should be in there. However some cars don't have data folders.

The way to get around this is go into, Settings > Content Manager > General
then under the thing that says App version, as of wrighting this it's at the top right under "Auto Updates:" and click on the numbers next to app version over and over again, it should prompt you with something asking if you want developer mode, click okay.

Finally go back to the car on content manager, and now at the bottom where things like folder, drive, showroom, etc are, there should something at the bottom right that says unpack data, all you have to do is click that and your car should have a data folder.

PS. Something that you need to do after you update anything that's in that folder is click pack data

If you enable dev apps there is an in-game cameras app that helps you move around all of the car’s different cameras. That way you don’t have to worry about memorizing vectors.
