Scratching my head with this one...

I have this view of a car:


Camera details:
[ONBOARD_CAMERA_CAR01]
FrontRight = 4.3520, 0.2000, 7.0480,-145.8000, 0.0000, -0.8200


And would like to mirror it, so there's also a view of the front left. So simply change the X position to a negative and same for the angle too, right?:
[ONBOARD_CAMERA_CAR01]
FrontLeft = -4.3520, 0.2000, 7.0480, 145.8000, 0.0000, -0.8200

I have made the CAMERA_VIEW_ANGLEs the same for both.

So here's what I get - the camera is defintiely pointing the right way, but there's no car!:



Any help please? What am I missing?

i suggest to use realtime edit (gp4 tweaker or csm). it's almost impossible to get the right settings without it. even though d'camera dors also depend on your screen resolution.

Yup, have tried real time edit of both cam position and angle but with no luck :(

I'm wondering if there is some file that has a preset 'hide car' for particular camera numbers that I'm not aware of?

Tried to move the cam further away?

I've tried all sorts using real time edit, moving back and front, left and right, up and down. The coordinates are right, the camera is pointing the right way, but no car visible! It's got me stumped!

Thanks Riccardo, but I think I found the problem, and it's a bit of noob one on my behalf ;-)

It seems cameras #6 and #10 always hide the car and get used for nose and rear cams. I've got what I want to be my front left view in #6. I just need to rejig the order et voila!
