Please help with the inboard camera and helmet view

[Willi77]

At first i would like to greet everyone from this fantastic site that i discovered just a few days ago.
I just bought Assetto a few days ago and i'm really enjoy it so far,i downloaded some nice mods as well.
I came here to this very nice forum to ask to you veterans and expert of the game a help.
I watched many videos where the inboard camera shows the helmet of the pilot as well like this one for example:

Now tweaking the camera is not an issue,i know how to set it,but the problem is that when i set up the camera my driver is literally behead,or if he has the head he don't wear any helmet.

Is there a way to show up the helmet with the onboard camera? are people using some mod?
If you could help me to solve this issue i would be very grateful.

These are replay cameras, you can cycle through the different cameras with F6 while in replay mode. I don't think it's possible to access these cameras while driving.

Yeah F6 or F5 cameras will show the driver head. You need to edit a .ini file to use the F5 camera properly (you move it with WASD and mouse where ever you want and it follows the car.)

Thank you very much for your reply,it works nice.

It's amazing what some people can do with Assetto Corsa's cameras...

Thank you very much for your reply,it works nice.

It sounds like you have figured it out for yourself but I'm at home now so could check what to do...

F5 camera follows the selected car and can be moved freely using WASD and mouse (with left or right click held down...I forget which and annoyingly the other mouse click makes the sound go funny until you exit and restart session.)

F7 camera is a static camera that doesn't follow the car and can be moved freely using up,down,left,right arrows and holding the mouse button and moving the mouse.

For F5 and F7 cameras to work correctly you change:

E.g

C>program files>Steam>steamapps>common>assettocorsa>system>cfg>assetto corsa.ini>allow_free_camera=1
&
C>program files>Steam>steamapps>common>assettocorsa>system>cfg>camera_onboard_free>spherical_coords=0

Note:
You can change the speed at which the cameras move by holding shift or ctrl whilst moving the camera around.

The F5 camera will have blur if you skip to it from track side cameras so if you are currently using F3 track side cameras and skip to F5 there will be blur on close up objects. If you skip to F5 camera from F1 or F6 cameras there wil be no blur.
