Enhanced Chase Camera FIX - Adaptive Height & Refined FOV v1.5
Latest Update
Update - Enhanced Chase Camera v1.5
I've just pushed a new update to the Enhanced Chase Camera with a focus on stability and high-speed feel. Here is what's new in this version:
1. Improved High-Speed Stability
2. Dynamic Speed Effects
- Reduced Camera Drift: I've tightened the maximum zoom limit to prevent the camera from moving too far away at high velocities.
- Speed-Adaptive Damping: The camera now feels more "connected" to the car during jumps and steep descents, reducing the elastic effect.
3. UI & Controls
- Subtle FOV Boost: I’ve added a light dynamic FOV effect (max 8% increase) that scales with your speed. It provides a much better sense of speed without distorting the image.
- Refined Slope Logic: Slope compensation has been retuned to be more reactive in descents while staying dampened at high speeds.
- Menu State: The settings menu remains Closed by default on map load for a cleaner experience.
Enhanced Chase Camera – Modified Version
This is a modification of the popular "Enhanced Chase Camera" Lua script. While the original mod is fantastic, I identified two main issues during gameplay that this version addresses.
Issues Addressed
1. Downhill Visibility
-
Problem: When driving down steep slopes or ramps (like in Car Jump Arena), the camera would stay too low, blocking the view of the road ahead
-
Solution: New intelligent slope compensation that detects when the car is pitching down and automatically raises the camera height to maintain a clear view of the horizon
2. Excessive FOV at High Speed
-
Problem: At very high speeds, the "fish-eye" effect became too aggressive, distorting the car and environment
-
Solution: Refined dynamic FOV with reduced sensitivity – smoother, more subtle effect that remains readable at 300km/h+
3. Vertical Response Time
-
Problem: Camera lagged behind sudden terrain changes
-
Solution: Faster vertical response with adjusted smoothing values – reacts almost instantly to jumps and ramps without becoming jittery
