    A carry over from the Project Cars engine to AMS2 is the ability to edit any camera in game to create your own unique angle, this applies to all camera's (bumper, chase, cockpit, roof, etc.)

    Here are the controls:

    To enter the mode you press Ctrl-K.
    Then the following keys become active:

    Numpad 2: increase pitch
    Numpad 3: switch lights on/off
    Numpad 8: decrease pitch
    Numpad 4: increase yaw
    Numpad 6: decrease yaw
    Numpad 7: increase radius
    Numpad 9: decrease radius
    Numpad 1: increase roll
    Numpad 3: decrease roll
    Numpad -: increase FOV
    Numpad +: decrease FOV
    D: forward
    A: backward
    W: up
    S: down
    Q: left
    E: right
    SHIFT key in combination with any of the above: slow down camera movement
    Numpad 5: reset to original settings for current camera

    I personally use this to modify the roof camera on open wheel cars to create a more accurate TV cam. It's also useful for adjusting the chase cam position, because sometimes it's nice to see your car while you race!

    Here's some examples of what you can do:

    That is awesome. Does it save them automatically? Does it apply to just the one car or change all of them globally?

    I assume you mean you don't have a numpad so unfortunately it won't work. You can't reassign those numpad keys, key to default view is numpad 5 only.

    Does it work in replay mode? It's really annoying that you can't keep some of the onboard cameras on without them rotating.
