Better Chasing Camera (GTA-Style Camera for Cars and Trucks)

A reworked chase camera for the third-person view (key 2), inspired by racing games.

When Road Trip came out and I finally got behind the wheel of a car, the first thing I wanted to do was cruise around like in Forza or GTA. Then I pressed 2 and realized the camera didn’t allow that: it looked down at the trunk, and you could barely see the road ahead. So I fixed it—first for cars, then for trucks too.

The default camera aims at the middle of the vehicle, so you mostly see its rear from above. This mod moves the aim point above the roof, placing the vehicle lower on screen and making the road ahead easier to see. It now feels like playing GTA in third person.

What changes

– Cars and SUVs: The camera looks level with the horizon by default, with a wider field of view that expands further as you gain speed.
– Trucks: The aim point is higher, the camera angle is lower, and the field of view is wider.
– Looking from below: The camera can now move below the horizon line and look up at the vehicle.
– Sense of speed: The camera smoothly pulls back as you accelerate.

Mouse-wheel zoom and right-button rotation work as before.

Compatibility

– Changes only the exterior chase camera files. The interior and other cameras are untouched.
– Conflicts with other mods that change the same chase camera.
– Tested on game version 1.62.

Feedback is welcome. Let me know what feels off, and I’ll tune it.
