changing camera distance

[karitasvendetta]

fed up of having your camera sit too close to the backend of your ship?
hate having to look at a flare of brightness that takes up half your screen as you cruise?

well no longer!

first download BiniQDU (if u dont have already) 0.9 is the current version i think.

then head to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\SHIPS\shiparch.ini

open up shiparch.ini in wordpad (or notepad, it doesn't really matter) and find your current ship. fastest way to find your ship is to do a search for "hold_space = >size of ur ships cargo bay<"

look for a line that says this: camera_offset = 6, 22 (numbers depend on your ship)

change the numbers to 12, 44 and save the file

start up FL again and your camera distance will be twice as far from your ships ass! can change the numbers to whatever you like but i recommend doubling or you will probably end up looking sideways or something.

Have Fun!

Jeez! where'd you copy & paste that from.

BiniQDU was WAY before the SDK was released & that's been around for at least 4 years now
