If I have this correct. You want the current birds eye view to be able to be zoomed out to show the full track, with the focus to be on the entire track, rather than the cars. Some sort of "blimp" view. If I am right, this is a good idea.
If this were to be implemented, may I also suggest that this birds eye view also have a few camera angles, so that the 3d can be taken advantage of?
What current Birds Eye view? There’s the helicopter view currently?
I believe what archie is asking for is a replication of the 2D camera, centred on the car from directly above, within the 3D mode. As such there would be no other camera angles as it would be a zoom in/out from the top.
I think it’s a great idea, currently I find 3D close to unplayable, especially for 2 car racing. Putting in a camera mode like this would really be helpful for race management and I’d give it a go for sure.
To me, a birds eye view is a view from above the track. The first view that you see from entering a race in the 3-D viewer IS a view from above, as if your car is being followed by, for example, a drone. It is a partial birds eye view of the track, centered around where your car IS at the time. This, I know, is NOT the view that is being asked for.
So, I am asking/suggesting that an improvement to that view where you can keep zooming out and at some point it becomes a fixed, 3-D view of the entire track, with 3-D renderings of all cars of the race going around the track and your car highlighted, somehow, as if being taken at irl blimp altitudes is what is being suggested.
What you are actually saying is that you think that the current birds eye view should just be able to be zoomed out to blimp altitudes, but centered on your car. I think, that would be distracting, considering the continuous movement of a full track that would be involved. Therefore I think that such a view should be centered on the track, itself.
