Ive got a car movie coming soon about a guy cruising over Sara.. with a song from GTA

1 question how can i get a Camera to stay with the vehicle as its movie so it looks like the world is moving past the car, because i can just get the camera stay in one place and watch the car go buy. cos i want the camera positioned in front of the drivers seat and to stay there not to go into his face and out the back window?

In old OFP syntax (which still works in ArmA I guess):

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
#loop1
_camera camSetTarget car
_camera camSetPos &#91;&#40;getpos car select 0&#41; + *,&#40;getpos car select 1&#41; + *,&#40;getpos car select 2&#41; + *&#93;
_camera camSetFOV 0.700
_camera camCommit 0
@camCommitted _camera
~0.001
goto &#34;loop1&#34;
[/QUOTE]

Replace the * with a number, depending where you want the camera relative to the car. Also you could set the "camSetTarget" to look at something else. "car" is the car, replace it with the name of the car. This is how it would have been done in OFP, I&#39;m not 100% sure it will work since I haven&#39;t done this in over 1 and a half years.

Hmm im making videos using Gamecam, they come out top quality on my PC... but when i upload them to youtube they get really low quality... i even tried converting first to the reccomended format/size/fps on my pc without much quality loss.. but when i upload to Youtube the quality becomes poor :&#92; anyone got any ideas? :S should i increase the pixel size of the vid? i have been using the recommended 320*240 ...

My vids are here (but with poor quality ):

Track IR is a peripheral which you wear on your head.. on a hat for example, then a reader is placed on your monitor and as you turn your head... the character in game will turn its head. This means you can run around as a soldier looking around as you play or in a vehicle look around your cockpit and stuff =)

Heres a vid to demonstrate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwhon-1Qzks

Wow - nice video. Hat&#39;s off to the voice acting by the female news announcer - best I&#39;ve heard yet. I actually thought it was a real news report you&#39;d lifted until she started mentioning Sahrani.
