Advanced Camera Views

Description
The Advanced Camera Views is now also available for Transport Fever 2!
You may ask, why do we need this for TPF2, when there is now the movable first-person camera? However, the movement is still limited, looking around is quick, but the translatory movement is slow. It is also practical to get to a suitable view directly by pressing a key. Also suitable for some vehicle mods with few views or low FOV.

--- Should now be stable with default settings! ---

Views
Different camera positions are added to all objects that have a camera view. Existing views are retained (depending on the setting, they are inserted before or afterwards, or not at all).
The views can be switched with Page Up and Page Down. Specific, model-dependent positions (adapted to the size of the vehicle) are added to the following objects:
  • Trains (more precisely all locomotives/wagons that have an engine)
  • Wagons
  • Trams
  • Buses/Trucks
  • Ships
  • Airplanes
  • Cars
  • People (only when activated)
  • Animals
For each vehicle, the driver's perspective(s) and a seat view are added (if available). Adjustable in mod settings.
Savegame compatible
The mod can be added or removed without any problems.
Hints/Bugs
  • You can still look around in every perspective with the moving camera. However, this movement is always "added" to the active camera view, which may lead to unwanted views when switching. Therefore, always go back to the default orientation before switching or enter the camera view again.
  • If a reversible train/multiple unit is reversed, the views start with the wagon, which actually would be at the front but is now last.
  • Person views can be activated, but watch out when entering an Airport or a underground station! If persons are teleported in stations, this leads to a freeze.

Fantastic mod. Thank you very much. If I could have a wish to improve it it would be to have a hotkey or key combination to go quickly to views that are cockpit views on track/road. For some reasons, especially on trains the views are getting multiplied by the number of wagons etc and it makes me going through a lot of views before I get to the one I want. But anyway... I really appreciate how your mode is making TF2 beautiful and satisfying

I already know. It's a pity that so many thousands of players no one answered me.
1. click on the vehicle
2. a window with the vehicle appears
3. in this window in the upper left corner there is a small camera
4. you click on this little camera

The mod is wonderful, you can admire every vehicle from every side!!!

This mod uses to work for me then one day it doesn't. When turned on it didn't even show up as an option in the upper left hand corner where it says honk horn and whatnot.

I press Page Up and Down and nothing happens... Please!

Happy bunny once more as I can view the game from the cab of any vehicle.. again!
No more camera view drifting to the left for me, as I do believe I've resolved the issue. It would appear that a controller I use (Xbox controller for PC) was the culprit.

When I unplugged it, the camera view returned to normal.
That's to say it is now stable and doesn't drift to the left. It had never done this before as I've said, and I've always left it plugged in.

So all I can think of is that a driver update was the probable cause.


Your mod works fine. As I said I've had a few driver updates loaded over the past week.
I've been away and returned after a while and did numerous updates on my PC.
I'm not trawling through that lot to see if anything amongst those were the cause.
So a simple P&P item was the root problem and cause of my angst.

@VacuumTube I've tried a few other games and it would appear that there's, in all probability, an issue with the mouse settings, because when I removed your mod from a saved game I still had an issue with the camera view drifting to the left. I had to turn off the mouse hardware within the game as it made the mouse pointer disappear, whereas I'd never had to do that previously. So whether that's had an effect or not, or even if there's an underlying issue with my mouse I'm not sure, so I'll be checking it out asap.

thats probably due to the vehicle.
In this mod is an option to insert the general views before those customs from the vehicle.

This seems to have gone pear shaped. The view from the cab doesn't centre, whereas before it did but now it keeps drifting (for me at least) and it's very noticeable when you go around a bend or a turn.. it keeps drifting left and after a while you're nowhere near the cab but way off to the left

Is there a way to change camera lens like with the camera tool?
