First off.. Did someone take down the link to the Beta from the AA page.. I didn't see it there a few mintues ago when I went to d/l 2.7
Why I'm I reinstalling 2.7 you ask?
The glance feature in 2.8 has changed the camera angle.. it's now higher looking down at a steeper angle and doesn't respond to changes. It seems somewhat restricted visually and not being able to pan or pivot the camera can be annoying. This is really noticable on servers with certian settings.. as I recall servers with higher cycle speeds seemed to make it more prominent.
I haven't found anything in the USER file or in the menu structure that would allow me to alter this.
Does anyone have any suggestions on modifying it, or has this been hardwired? Maybe I just missed it.
It's great that the camera doesn't point straight down anymore.. but maybe we replaced a old problem for a new one?

p.s. I took some screenshots.. but they really don't show you the effect of it very well.

... EDIT: Mabye you should use a closer up custom view... Good ones: camera_custom_back 6.5, camera_custom_rise 5, camera_custom_pitch -.5 (/dev/null) This one is good for just about everything...
camera_custom_back 3.1, camera_custom_rise 2, camera_custom_pitch -.5 (TiTnAsS) This one is good for tunneling/mazing...
camera_custom_back 2, camera_custom_rise 1, camera_custom_pitch 0 (/dev/null) This gives a good feel for cockpit style driving..
Damn, it sure has been a while!
TnA and K are right, Lucifer is of course to be ignored There's a bug in the 0.2.8_beta1 implementation that makes glancing look different from what was intended (it should use the custom camera settings, but it deviates a bit from them). It's fixed, will be in 0.2.8_beta2 and then we'll make a poll over what is the favorite, which then will be the default in the final stable. I personally like the new glancing (now that it works).
