Mod is working on v1.49. If you have issues, it is probably caused by another mod who changes camera settings.

I will have a look, hopefully, mid-January when I have some time. Currently to busy with work (not even time to celebrate the holidays).

Thanks for the mod, I like it, can you please similar mod with different settings, I like the amount of space you left in the truck front, but there is so much space left behind it, would you reduce it by half please, is there a way I can change the settings myself ?, thanks a lot

@Ronalien Thanks for your reply. It's much appreciated. I'm using this camera also only to manoeuver at low speeds and sometimes I think it's helpful to know how much space or radius is in front of you too so you don't have to change camera positions but I get your point with the 9 aixles trailers. So let's see what the others will say. Your mod is an improvement anyways.

@frankscorer:

Thanks for the feedback.

Indeed, for most loads there is a lot of space behind you. However, when using the lowboy extendable 9 axles trailer, there is not so much space left.

It's difficult to find the right balance for the camera settings. I could move the position slightly more backwards, but this means the camera has to zoom out even more to get the full load to be visible.

As I'm only using this camera for manoeuvring at very low speeds, the distance visible in front of the truck is enough for me. Give it a try for some time! If more subscribers feel the same way, I could change the settings.

This mod is very useful. Thanks. One suggestion though. Is it possible to move the truck position slightly more backwards? As it is now there is a lot of space behind you even for long loads but you can barely see what is in front of you.
