editing .cam file has no effect?

[Matt Geddes]

Hi all, I wanted to somehow change the seating position in the cockpit view of GTR evo to be further forward than most cars allow.

After some searching on the forum I think I understand how to edit the .CAM file to affect the changes I want, but after editing it, there seems to be no change in game...

BTW; I'm trying to edit the .cam files for the GTR2forGTRevo addon. the location of the file I've been editing is:
crogramfiles/steam/steamapps/race07/gamedata/teams/gtr2/gt/ferrari 575/ferrari_575.cam

here is the section that i believe controls the cockpit cam:

LocalCam=COCKPIT // Cockpit cam - Karsten Borchers 2007
{
Fov=(82.500000, 70.000000)
Clear=FALSE
Color=(164, 218, 249)
ClipPlanes=(0.1000, 1500.000000)
LODMultiplier=(1.000000)
Size=(1.000000, 1.000000)
Center=(0.500000, 0.500000)
MipmapLODBias=(0.000000)
Flags1=(0)
Flags2=(0)
RadiusLimits=(0.000000, 0.000000)
OrientationRate=(999.000000, 999.000000, 999.000000)
PositionOffset=(0.000000, 0.000000, -0.550000)
OrientationOffset=(-0.100000, 0.000000, 0.000000)
Radius=(0.000000)

I changed the last value in the"positionoffset" line to be -0.55 instead of 0.000000, and the position of the camera in cockpit view hasn't changed at all. anyone know why this might be?
am I editing the wrong place? doing it incorrectly? - or maybe there is a way to increase the adjustability of the "seat position"?

any help would be great, thanks a million guys

try


crogramfiles/steam/steamapps/race07/gamedata/teams/defviews.cam

Use your mousebuttons (click left or right) and move your mouse back and forth when you are in the game and you don't need to edit any files

please see you other post if moving the view with mouse doesn't get you the right result. You can also turn off real seat positions too...
