Deluxe Ski Jump Forum

Do you jump on custom camera setting? I'm jumping on something that can be described as "F2+F3" view - it's showing the jumper a bit from back, a bit from the right. On F2 to be able to have a good takeoff you have to move the cam up a little, it was annoying for me as the view was worse then. So I thought, why not try moving the cam to the back instead? Eventually I switched to F3 and made this as a result. Works good for me.

Some screenshots:

Anybody wants to share their custom views?

Looks nice, but its too much zoom for me. I use normal F2 with 4x zoom (in former times, no i think the zoom factor is splitted and i have more)

Woah... it's comfortable to you? It looks as it isn't at all I'm jumping on slightly modified F2, so I can see the takeoff better. I would make the screenshots, but unfortunately I'm a bit too lazy Anyway, the benefits of using such a camera is everything as in F2 except for seeing the takeoff better; the camera is set higher and the angle between it and the player is bigger. But I wasn't even a good jumper

your camera setting looks good indeed, but it's unusable to jump records

I use F2 with 1x zoom on flying hills, 2x on the big hills and 3x on the normal hills

sado1, we have very similar cameras:

I used to jump with F2 view but when I discovered this I improved my jumping a lot actually.
This way I get a good takeoff most of the time, even in Oberstdorf where you can't see anything with F2.
Flying was a little harder initially, but now it's just natural this way. Plus the game looks much nicer from this view.

you can see not much, but enough to know, when it's the right time

i can't imagine how jumpers can fly over hs with that camera

It is certainly possible. For example, all of my records are made with that setting:

Personally, I can't imagine jumping that far without it .

F1 with 1 zoom minus

Lolwut, you, guys, have so big zooms! I use F2 with -2 zoom.

crazy

F2 with some minor corrections. The camera is a bit lower and a bit to the right. This way i perfectly see the angle between the jumper and the skis. I change the zoom all the time. That helps to keep the jumper-slope angle fresh
But if you want to use this setting beware of the takeoff. You will miss 80% of the time

Actually my view is zoomed out to maximum. The camera is just so close.

Not yet...


... but seriously, I find this camera much easier.

my F2 is almost the same as yours, OP.
i used to jump with F2 all the time, but later on i edited my F1 cam so i can jump with it on all hills (Flying, Large and Normal)
