GRID Autosport Camera Mods 1.4

v1.4 Bug Fix

Thanks Maske for the bug report

Phew, thats it, no more updates for now.

I think codemasters might fix the retail game at some point, they are at least aware that some people do not like the standard cameras angles...

As always, Bug reports, ideas, etc always welcome.

(p.s. inside of this .exe is just over 1 Gigabytes of data compressed down to 13 Megabytes!)

v1.3 Update:

Added 3 new camera heights for chase view 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 for all cars.

Raised the bumper view to 1.1 for all cars (same as my GRID2 mod)

Moved the chase cameras back from the car slightly.

Reordered the modified components installer list. It now lists camera heights from low to high.

Fixed many many camera script errors (my fault, it was late, i was tired, lol)

v1.2 - Updates:
Changed the chase cameras slightly so the car is a little further away.

Removed a lot of the blur effect, not all of it, as i do prefer some blur.

Bug Fixes

Bug Fix

Small bug fix (extra icon installed on desktop)

v1.1 - Updates:
Added No Intro Fix to installer to remove intel and codemasters intro videos.

Added a new installer, The mod app now installs itself into the GRID Autosport directory and places shortcuts to your desktop. There is no need to run setup.exe each time you want to change mods and you can delete the rar and setup.exe downloaded from here if you wish.

The Mod installer can now be uninstalled via "add remove programs" in control panel.
Just remember any modified files that have been installed will remain active in the game unless the defaults files are restored before you uninstall the Mod installer.

The Installer no longer selects any mod components by default. It was previously selecting backup existing cameras each time it was run.

The mod Installer should now remember where the root directory is located once it has been chosen correctly the first time.

v1.0 - Big update
View attachment 59277
Newly built installer. I have tried to make it as straight forward as possible.

I have added many new camera mods, different chase cam heights, No Lag, No Jolt, No Pull Away, No Shake FX, Bonus MicroMachines Mode.

Also the installer will now let you backup your existing cams, install your backed up cams, restore the games default cams. Simply run this .exe each time you want to change your camera mod to a different one. All mods and default camera are contained inside this file.

What the mods do...

Chase Cam Height and Bumper Cam height:

Raises the bumper cam height to 1.0 for all cars (Not DLC cars!)
Raises both of the chase camera heights to 1.0 for all cars. (Higher than default)
There are 5 different heights selectable 2.0, 1.9 1.8 1.7 and 1.6 for all cars. (Not DLC cars!)

The idea behind these mods is that I found the default views for the bumper camera
to be to low to the ground and the chase cameras view to be to low behind your car
obscuring the view of the track.

No Lag, No Jolt, No Pull Away, No Shake FX:

No Lag:
This removes the lag, tilt and roll of the camera when using chase cam views.
The car will stay in the centre of your view when driving instead of the camera swaying
left and right. This makes driving in chase view more like bumper cam mode and
I personally find that it makes driving your car much more precise as it is easier to line
your car up with the apex of corners more accurately. It does take a while to get
used to but once you have adjusted your driving style it really works great.

No Jolt:
By default the camera jolts slightly when changing up or down gears which I found distracting.
This mod stops the camera from jolting when gears are changed.

No PullAway:
The idea behind this mod is that I did not like the way the car pulled further
away from your point of view the faster you car travels when in chase cam mode.
I found it made picking you racing line unpredictable. This mod stops the car pulling away
from the camera.

No Shake FX:
This disables nearly all of the camera shaking effects.
Giving you a steady view to let you concentrate on the track and driving better.

MicroMachines Mods:
Just a little fun, both chase camera have been raised way above the track for a top down perspective.
Not perfect as some tracks have tall building which get into your view.


The Mod that I always use is height 1.8, No Jolt, No Pull Away, No Shake FX and No Lag

NOTE:
In the games OPTIONS & EXTRAS - OPTIONS - GAMEPLAY, I would also turn Tilt OFF and set camera shake to 0%

TIP:
If you want to test the various mods without restarting the game simply ALT+TAB to the desktop when in the game,
run the Mod installer, install the mod you want, go back to the game window and then select a new car to race.
The newly installed mods will then take effect once the new car loads into the game
