Hey, some of you maybe remember the 'Old Reborn' and the Cyborn which had an special view.
You bought the Cyborg and got a view inside the cyborgs 'helmet/head'. With an animated red screen if I remember right.
I wonder if that would be possible to do for vehicles. Thanks for letting me know.
Sincerely,
Dealman.

Yes, I know that. And I know that it's done in that way.
But isn't there a way to manage the camera position on vehicles. Like some script or something?

You know if you somehow can adjust the camera for vehicles, or for just a specific vehicle.
I'll need this for my mod. So it might be possible to do as it'll be client sided?

Ok, so it would work to make like an VTOL (In this case it's the Thunder from TA), well place the camera like inside the cockpit.
Also to make it stay there when it hoves, go up,down,left or right to follow inside the cockpit.
Also would it be possible to assign an key to change camera view on vehicles. Like you do with characters, first person and 3rd person view?

You can't change the camera without spawning a whole new preset object, and you can't do that without the driver appearing to hang in air for at least a short time while before putting them back in. We tried it with AR, and if you use a script to put the driver in the new vehicle instantly it crashed the engine, presumably because it had not finished doing whatever initialisation it needed to do on the vehicle object. So we had to introduce a short delay, which caused the infantry to appear outside the vehicle briefly, which looked stupid to say the least.
So we decided to make changes to what we did so we didn't have to switch presets.
