Thank you for helping me...

I'll take a stab at it - it's really a two-step process. FIRST, you need to download the appropriate "tweak file" - that is a .txt file, and in this case it's called "Cameras_dat.txt" and can be downloaded from this thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=114049

SECOND, you need to have the minitweaker program installed (I assume you already do)

You already have the cameras.dat file - it's in your SH4 install (in ...Data\Library folder).

The .txt file is just the set of instructions that the minitweaker program needs so that it can act on the .dat file - you don't have to worry about converting from one to the other or anything. All the minitweaker program needs to know is (1) where is your cameras.dat file you want it to act on (click on the "..." button near the upper right corner and browse to your SH4 install directory - you can just point it to the parent SH4 directory - it will find the file in the right subdirectory); then (2) which tweak (.txt) file it should get its instructions from - this is where you point it to the "Cameras_dat.txt" you downloaded.

Then, all you have to do is choose the parameter(s) you want to change from the drop-down box on the left side of the minitweaker program (in this case, you want to pick "RadioRoom_Hydrophone" from the drop-down box - when you do, you will see a list of parameters show up in the window on the left under the drop down box. You click the one you want (in this case, "AngularAngle ="), and then enter the new value you want (in this case, probably "75" to pull the camera back to stock view) in the "New Value" box on the right side of the minitweaker program. When you hit the "Save New Value" button to the right, the minitweaker program automatically changes the .dat file, and you're done!

Just close out the minitweaker program, and then use file manager/explorer to browse to the Data\Library folder and delete (or move somewhere else, outside your SH4 install, if you want to keep a the backup copy) the "copy of cameras.dat" file that the minitweaker program created during the above process (without telling you) - if you don't get that "copy of" file out of there, the game will use it for some reason instead of the new/tweaked one the minitweaker program just made.

Voila! You're done!

Good luck!
