[Solved] Improve Camera View for certain tables

[PC.Doctor]

This here thread is about a camera view for tables like CV and FH. Let's start with CV with the Ringmaster. Whenever you summon the Ringmaster by spelling 'WOW", the camera automatically zooms in to the character as he is rising into the playfield. The problem here is the camera and I find it annoying and doesn't benefit any pinball experience (unless you physically zoom yourself into the playfield every time you summon the Ringmaster). The same problem goes to FH, as well. Whenever you activate multiball by shooting the third ball into Rudy's mouth, the camera just zooms in to Rudy, as he wakes up, then the camera goes back to normal viewpoint after like 3-4 seconds. Again, stupid and pointless.

There is no option to remove this feature and I just want it to go away because it's stupid and pointless. What is your opinion about this irregular camera view, do you think it's necessary or just completely pointless? Should this be removed in the next version of TPA? I would.

Wait, there was an option this entire time?

Now I feel stupid....

OK people, please disregard my question. I thought the camera was fixed and there was NO option to remove it.

Well, it's not like there's a manual anywhere. I'm very certain there are hundreds out there that don't know they can move the "special" button to their liking.

I've played TPA the moment it was released on Steam for PC since I couldn't play it on any other platform (and before I got my first Android device). I first got into pinball back in early-May to late June and I had to wait five months until FS finally released TPA on PC after countless delays.

You're still ahead of the XB360 crowd.

Glad we could be of assistance. Thread title updated

Easy to miss. Maybe the new ui will make things like this more obvious in the future.

I actually like the zooming in. Nice that FS included the option to switch it off though, one of those very rare occassions where they can please everyone.

They only almost get it right. The setting needs to be on a per machine basis. As well as the cam choice.
