Bravo Beery, take a bow!

That Flashy'stuff from high alt reminds me of overlapping scenery layers in Flightsim, when a higher layer gets a lower priority by mistake. E.G.: an airport is placed a layer below the terrain/scenery layer mesh

It does work with 1.2, but I'm not sure why. The file changed a lot from 1.1 to 1.2 but I'm not sure what changes were put in there, because switching the cameras file doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference.

Beery, are you going to mod this new 1.2 file just to be safe?

I guess if we start having problems we can always just restore the original.... :hmm:

I have it all ready in RFB. I just haven't got around to putting it in a separate download yet. If I don't forget again I'll get it done later today. I'd do it now but I have to go out for a couple of hours.

Don't forget Beery :p

Got it! Thanks Beery.. I'll give it a try tonight.

I can't seem to get this mod to work. I copied Cameras.dat to my sh4\data\library folder, started SH4, and the free camera height was still limited to 70m.

So then I figured out how to do decimal to IEEE / Hex conversions, got a free hex editor (yay, frhed!), then made the changes myself.

Pretty sure I was changing the right value (MaxHeight), in the right file (Cameras.dat), in the right folder (sh4, not sh3), but nothing I did seemed to make a difference.

I'm on travel for work, but when I get home I'll try again, but anyone have any ideas (other than that I'm an idiot)?

FYI:
This is obviously a SH4 mod, right? But your 'Readme Camera Mod.rtf' file says this:
"Version 4 is configured to work with SH3 version 1.2."

Yeah, a typo. I spent so long working on SH3 that it's hard to drop old habits.

Hehe, I reckon if I knew what I was doing, what took me hours today might have taken only a few minutes.

maybe you can roll it back to 1000 max so that flashy stuff doesnt show up at all.

So now we will be able to stand on the golden gate bridge and wave to our sub passing it!:p

Beery,

both files I downloaded here showed to be corrupt when trying to extract them using 7zip latest version. I guess it must be on my end, what archiver do you recommend?

SOLVED:

Nevermind, this puter has a mind of it's own...it had decided to use winrar.
