Adjusting the camera in iRacing allows you to customize your view, whether you're driving or watching a replay. While iRacing offers many camera options, specific adjustments often involve using mouse and keyboard controls.
Basic Camera Adjustments
iRacing provides different camera modes, including cockpit, TV, chase, and more. You can typically cycle through primary camera views using default keyboard keys (like F1, F2, F3, etc.).
Adjusting Replay Cameras
When watching replays, you often have more granular control over camera positioning, especially with the free camera modes.
Based on available tutorials, adjusting the camera in replays frequently utilizes your mouse and keyboard:
- Mouse Controls: As demonstrated in some guides, you can use your mouse buttons to control camera movement in replay modes.
- Left Mouse Button: Pressing the left mouse button can move the camera forward.
- Right Mouse Button: Pressing the right mouse button can move the camera backward.
- Keyboard Controls: Beyond the mouse, keyboard controls are also typically involved for various adjustments like panning, tilting, zooming, and moving the camera in different directions (up, down, left, right). The exact key bindings can often be customized within the iRacing options menu under Controls > Key Mapping.
Adjusting sensitivity and inverting controls for camera movement are also common options found in the iRacing settings.
For specific and advanced camera controls, especially for creating custom views or adjusting field of view (FOV), you may need to access the camera editor (Ctrl+F12 in some modes) which offers a comprehensive suite of tools.
Remember to check your iRacing key mapping settings to see the default bindings for camera controls and customize them to your preference.
