    sorry i am still a newbie at this game.. do you guys know how to make your view point stay at the same place but then your car can still drive around (kind of like playing remote control car if you know what i mean:bananasplit:) i accidentally press some button and activated this function today (as this screenshot shows) but no matter how i stab every single key on the keyboard i couldn't come across this view again. so do you guys know how to switch to this view?:excited: edit: i searched the relevant thread regarding to this but i didn't see any desirable result. (yet another edit: no cheat/trainer were used) yet yet another edit: the view mode that i am describing is like a person standing and staying in one spot and just drive a RC car and watch the RC car come and go. click/drag the mouse or press look back or change view doesn't do anything, the only way to get out of the view is press "map".

     

    - pic attached instead due to screen stretch - :)

     

    sorry for the pic quality it's just a screenshot pasted on Paint and saved as jpeg.

    Lol, you simply grab the mouse, click and drag it round to the view you want and let go :) Then it should stay in the same position and you can drive wherever you want, just don't look behind otherwise it'll go back to normal ;)

     

    thanks for the reply bud! :o maybe my english sucks.. but i think you misunderstood my question. my situation in those screenshots are the camera(viewing point) stays in not only the exact angle but exact position. that means i can drive as far as i can until i can not see the car anymore and no matter where my car goes the viewing point will not follow. during this mysterious viewing mode, dragging the mouse, press any view button like "V", "C" doesn't do anything. like in the second screen showing my Ruf, i can just hit the gas and driving into nowhere. (that's like driving a remote control car, right? assume if you don't run with your RC car.)

      Well, in the last pic, he's in the RTurbo, and that's about 30 feet away. I think he knows about the click-and-drag. :p

        Oh right, I get you now. Never heard of this problem before actually. I thought you meant you wanted to see it like that, but you want it back to normal, interesting. Sounds cool to try, but I guess not to get stuck in :( Have you tried the official Atari Forums, or maybe contactin Atari Support direct?

         

        --------------------------------

         

        Grr, you only say Nugget because you didn't see the original post, it was easy to take 2 meanings from it, not due to his English or anything, just from the assumptions you make based on what you've had before.

         

        And anyway, at least my posts are on topic :p

        hipvspec does this happen when you are using Photomode at all as there's a known method for doing this with that, but not if I understand you correctly when you are just driving along so nice fine all the same.

         

         

         

         

        To Speed: you wont get stuck because you can exit by going to the map view. I never tried the atari's forum. and yes, i understand it's kinda confusing to prove my point without a camera or something.

        To Diablo: yeah, i am not in photomode at all when this happened. i just notice i accidentally tab something and then my viewpoint stop and stayed as my car just keeps on going

         

        wow i am surprised that this seens like only happening to me?

        Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling because that is a fix for quite a few things?

         

        It's not a problem though Speed, it's something that happens only when a certain combo or buttons are pressed. I'm guessing the game runs fine if you keep your hands off the keyboard?

         

         

        it's actually quite fun sometimes ;) just now i am driving around and try to make it happen again but it didn't show up. it's actually really hard to make it happen.. but i am just really curious. and also i took a quick search over the tube and this is not the same glitch as the photomode glitch(as the camera angle and zoom-in/out is all locked. to be precise, at the first 2 second with the glitch happen is like you just press the map key, but then instead of the camera quickly zoom out and pull off higher and higher into the sky, the camera just zoom out and stay glued there)
