Stationary Camera Views?

[bhd]

Hello, I just bought the game yesterday and am still trying to figure out my way around things. I've spent a lot of time on the forum and have learned a lot already, so thanks for that.

Anyway, I have searched for this topic a hundred times already and haven't found any answers yet -- maybe someone can help me. In all the videos that people post, they have some really cool camera work, with the cameras being stationary at corners or in front of jumps as the bikes go flying by. How can I get that kind of view during playback???? I know to hit Tab to switch from 1st to 3rd person, but that's not what I'm talking about. I want to watch my race with the stationary cams that make it look like footage you'd actually see in a televised MX race.

Again, I've tried to search for this, but to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You mean where the camera is following the rider? Hold the 'dab' button.

I think he means that the camera just hangs somewhere on the track, that u can move it, not 1st or 3rd, but the other camera when u press tab, i'm searching for the same lol, mine just keeps sitting at the start gate, i wanna move it around

Then do so. Shift up = up, shift down = down, up arrow = forward, down arrow = backwards, go try it

See how at the beginning, the camera is stationary and the bike goes flying over it? And then the camera is waiting at a corner and the bike goes cruising by? Or the camera is in front of the jump as the rider goes over? How can I get those views???

I think your problem might be that you have to playback a recorded demo to get the freecam:
-Go to New Race, and check that the record demos option is set to yes
-Now start a race or go online
-Afterwards in the main menu select playback demo, and then default. Default is always the replay of the latest race. If you wanna save many demos you gotta go to your mx sim personal folder\demos and rename the default.mxdemo
