A lot of people ask for that style of camera. My inclination would be to make the camera angle be a UI script callback so it'd be completely customizable.

And sorry I've been slow with the updates! Having some issues that are eating up my coding time.

This would be really nice to have that customization!

Also totally understandable, life gets busy sometimes. You're only one guy!

Agree with this. Completely understand that life gets busy. Was just curious if there were any updates regarding this suggestion. Love the game man!

Curious if you've ever seen these videos Motoson makes.



He does it using keycams so I'm sure it's near impossible to replicate as a playable camera but my gosh does it look good.

we need a tilt setting like how mx bikes has ! After playing MXB for 800 hours I came back to sim after not touching it for 7 years. For one, I regret not playing this game. after playing MXS again I go back to MXB it feels so arcade-like and twitchy.

MXS is sucha fluid game and having a correct first person camera with no tilt NEEDS to happen whether it's just a toggle on\off or like MXB where you have a slide bar. PLEASE make this happen JV! Resurrect 1st person in MXS!

Yeah I agree this would be an amazing option. Coming from mx bikes , the first person camera is done right. I play sim in 3rd at the moment and enjoy it a lot. But would great option for a better first person cam !!

More customization is always a plus but going towards bikes would ruin it imo. Only thing I feel is needed for first person currently is a distance slider like the third person settings have.

I'm certain a majority of yall don't realize, or even care that it's in poor taste to bring all of your MXB wishes to this forum. The repeat questions about the same thing won't fix anything, other than show your impatience. JLV has a day job too. We all know that he first needs to have adjustable font size for the Dabbing! warning! 😋

This thread is from October 2022 so calling people "impatient" for still discussing it in 2026 doesn’t add up.

Good point. Maybe just look at the developer log? He posts what he is currently working on there.

People have a right to be disappointed with the progress lately. Complaining won't speed things up but I do understand the disappointment. There are things taking my time that are outside of my control right now.

On a lighter note, this made me think of your killer sense of humor and the "Daytona Disappointment" track release!
