    No not in the game, yet. But I believe it is possible to adjust the camera file.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game\GameData\Cars

    Edit: Cockpit_driver_view
    You must reload the race before the changes takes effect.

    Not with the current UI. Maybe this will be possible, when the new UI is available, but this isn't officially confirmed.

    Actually the only way to adjust the pitch is by editing the camera files. But this needs to be done for every car separately.
    Same question here.

    Once you find a setting you like you can use search and replace to update all the relevant files to that setting in one go.

    Ok, thank you.
    It's laborious to change for each car , and may be each car request a different setting.
    I hope to see this setting available soon ! And why not with a more precise fov adjustment , in direct game.
    Thank you ;)

    Q: How do you get the actual coordinates of a camera position?

    I saw a race with the main straight been covered by an advert. maybe we could change the track cameras as well?

    I'm not sure what you mean and it was a while since I tried myself but...

    if I remember correctly: slängs.jpg

    1 is left/right
    2 is up/down
    3 forward/backwards
    4 is pitch

    Can you remember which track it was? Some adjustments have already been made for this issue.

    I tried to play around with the 4th value in the cockpit_driver_view file (from -4 up to 2, but that did not have any effect on the pitch of the camera. I can't believe that Raceroom does not support this (like PCars2 or Assetto Corsa do)!

    Ok, found a thread on Racedepartment where it is explained more detailed:
    upload_2018-1-7_8-22-24.png
    For a X-Rotation (which is what you want if you pitch up/down, x-axis is the one in driving lateral to driving direction) you need an alteration of the values as above. The example is for a 10-degree change. More details about this matrix: upload_2018-1-7_8-25-28.png and a thread on racedepartment

    Btw: the last value in the first row (-0.35) is the x-offset. So if this would be set to 0.0, your view would be positioned exactly in the middle of the car and not +/- behind the wheel. This value is of course different in every car, as the width of the cars are different (in open wheelers this value is 0 as you sit exactly in the center of the car)
