    Hello, is there a free camera function in replay ( like ctrl+K in PC2 )?
    It will be interesting to put the camera where we want in the circuit to make good point of view...

    though "k" is attached to rotate through
    Overlays -> Playback -> Camera
    it is also possible to activate the free cam with "ctrl-k-k"
    Free cam works with every camera accept TRACKSIDE

    It's quite scuffed but it does work on every camera, to some extent - except for Trackside. Sadly it doesn't control as well as the "Drone Camera" photo mode controls. I'm both surprised and disappointed that it's not a default feature for the replay mode.

    Suggestion would be just to take the equivalent controls/behavior for the Drone Camera in photo mode and apply it as a separate set to the replay mode.

    Hello. Sorry for reviving this topic.
    I was looking for some more camera controls for video producing and yes, CTRL+K works. But you have to press it twice, dunno why. You just prest CTRL+K once and the another time and you'll be able to control the camera with your mouse. You can roll it with Z and C, go higher with PG UP and lower with PG DWN. The - and + symbols don't control zoom; they actually control FOV, and it does change perspective (cars can look "long" or "squashed", depending on your FOV levels).
    You can film some very interesting scenes with these tools.

    But I have 2 questions:
    1) Is there a way to quick reset camera on replays to their original position? I tried changing cameras, going back and forth. But once you change it, it will stay that way unless you exit the replay and open it again.

    2) Is there a way to have a free camera during replays? That is, a camera no attached to the car?
    So I could simulate the spectator vision, like VR users can. Or maybe I want to film a certain part of the circuit, simulate a helicopter vision... Okay okay, I just want to film the cows with the cars passing by far away. Is there a way?

    I use CTRL+K+K all the time for my onboard replays. I just wish they could be saved per-car, like how your mirrors and seating positions are.

    Is there a way to fix the camera to a specific location in replay mode and not follow the car?

    I've tried the ctrl+k but the camera always moves with the car.

    Best way I found is, Go Down to your local football field. Drop your VR Laptop in a backpack. and you can walk all over :)
