    A question about camera angles affecting gameplay

    Okay, I am wondering about this...

    Has anyone ever noticed that on certain tracks, when the camera shifts angles as the bike is in the air it can affect how the bike behaves in the air?

    I noticed it first a while ago on Gigatrack, about a third of the way in when you hit that jump that lands you on the steep uphill section before the wooden bridge jump. Also near the end, at the spot where you jump through the fire ring and land on another steep incline. Then I noticed it again on a few different original tracks. I kept telling myself that it was me, but after playing many (100's) of user tracks where custom cams are used I see it even more! It seems as if after I jump, as the camera shifts, it makes my bike land shorter than if the cam view was locked to the bike/rider.

    I don't see this on any of my tracks, but I swear I can see it on other tracks here or there! Is it just me, or has anyone else ever noticed this?

    I know that curved driving lines can affect the bike but I have never noticed anything from the camera.

    Could you record it and explain? I would be interested to know.

    it defiantly affects game play . try "out of the pit" and go slow . the camera trys to get in front of you in different parts .its sometimes the cam picking things up on the driveline .like terrain mods .if i ride a custom and i dont notice the cam its fine .but theres so many custom tracks ruined by people messing with cams .just to show of something in the background .the drive line is the most important. not seeing some monster truck parked in a garage away somewhere.i rage tonnes of these tracks and the stupid thing is 90% of the time there is no need for a cam and its like they just found them and plonk them in for a supposed cinematic look .
