Camera Zoom
Is there a method to the madness? I know you guys have experienced this. Sometimes the camera is fixed on my bike zoomed normally, but sometimes it's zoomed out further so I can see more of the map (usually helpful on maps with large jumps). Problem is, it varies even within the same track! For example, tonight I was working on Coal Town, and for about an hour I had a nice zoomed out view of everything. I turned the game off for a while, and now I am playing the same track but it's zoomed in and I have much less view of what's coming. It really screws with my muscle memory when this happens, and I wish it was something I could control.

I think it has something to do with what version of Android OS you have, or maybe processor power/memory. My old phone was always zoomed in tight on camera. On my new one it zoomed out, sometimes it seems too much because my bike will become so tiny I can barely tell what's going on. Luckily the resolution on my screen is amazing and its something I got used to.

I believe it's dynamic and always depends on where your bike is exactly on the track - as in, you can move back/forth and camera will zoom in/out accordingly. It also tries to keep the bike in the center of the screen.
It does make sense when you're riding the track, however one anomaly we all know about is Quagmire. My view is that crazy camera behavior there adds to complexity of the track, which is complex enough already.

Could be res and ppi dependable, I don't see it much related to CPU itself, but maybe GPU and drivers coupled with hi res screen and dense ppi values.
This is just my theory.
