Changes:
- Adjustable first person camera height and angle.

Windows users: http://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mx-2009-02-26.exe
Linux users: http://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mxbin-2009-02-26

Replace mx.exe or mxbin with one of the above files. I'd keep a backup of the originals since these aren't well tested.

You will also need to put this file in your install folder:

(This hasn't changed since the 2008-11-26 version.)

Yes. The only change is the camera location and angle. Even that is the same if you don't change the adjusters.

I thought this would be stupid update, but setting the height to 0.19 and angle to 10, I found it really helped me predict the bikes movements. So thanks.

BTW, try setting height to 1 and angle to 40. Trips me out!

I'm likin it a lot better jlv...great job. I hate to be a nag but is there anyway it can be attached to the helmet instead of the body? Also could you somehow let us put it right at the goggles inside the helmet where the eyes would be? Good work as always and thanks a lot.

That might not be such a good idea... Have you ever noticed how his head sometimes trips out and jerks all around, that would be you trying to see where your going. This would be nice however if possible because his head always looks ahead, even in whips and extreme leaning.

Anything else you want? You could put the camera to the height of the goggle, in the mean time, since he added that feature for you. Oh yeah, there is a rumor that jlv is working on multiplayer, but I heard he had some other requests he had to finish first. :roll:

i dont think it would work because he always looks ahead if you cant see the handlebars how do you know what the bike is doing in real life you can feel what the bike is doing but in the game you can only see

Suggestions are what drive this game. Thanks for your ignorance though.
