**Tutorial** Rear-view camera position
Here's something else that I found during my forays into the Freelancer executables. You can specify where the camera is placed when you go to rear view mode by adding a small bit to the ship's cockpit file:
[RearViewCamera
view_position = 0, 0, 60
The values following view_position are the x, y and z offsets of the camera from the center of the ship, in meters. Positive x is toward the starboard side of the ship (or was it port?), positive y is toward the top of the ship and positive z is toward the bow of the ship.
For the uninformed, the cockpit file of the ship is specified in shiparch.ini, like so:
[Ship
...
nickname = ge_fighter
...
cockpit = cockpits\civilian\civilian.ini <----------
