About this mod
camXtra aims at delivering a super smooth camera feel while simultaneously offering intensity where it is needed without feeling like the camera is stuck onto the vehicle - it changes various camera behaviors from the shake itself + the movement in relation to all ways of driving and more changes to make things cleaner/smoother!

- Permissions and credits
camXtra is something I have been working on from time to time to provide a cleaner/smoother feel for THE definitive camera experience while keeping the intensity where it is needed. The overall mod is mainly catered to grip but - it is capable of providing you with a potentially better experience for the sliding / micro-drifting style aswell (engaged action cam version recommended). Though, of course, it is all subjective!
Remember, while all changes apply to the Near and Far Cam too with some slight variations-> The main mode in mind is the Action Cam + the intended shake-intensity in the ingame settings is by default 100%. Make sure to move the mod to the bottom in your FrostyModManager list.

The changes? Broadly put:
FOV related camera behaviors:
Shake:
NOS related camera behaviors:
Camera cornering/turning angle behavior:
Camera general driving behavior:
- Minimum FOV is slightly reduced while Maximum FOV is slightly increased
- FOV will take longer to fully extend when speeding
Shake:
- Speedshake has been dramatically reduced
- Speedshake takes longer to reach the maximum intensity
- Riding offroad is significantly smoother and slower
NOS related camera behaviors:
- Generic NOS is more intense
- Signature/Burst NOS is more intense
- Dynamic FOV changes are stronger and faster
- Dynamic distance behavior (backwards/forward motion) is stronger but faster
- FOV additional increase when using NOS has been tweaked
Camera cornering/turning angle behavior:
- The roll is emphasized greatly, making cornering more intense and engaging while still being smooth
Camera general driving behavior:
- Forward- and backward movements when accelerating/decelerating and braking are more dramatic and faster
- Sliding in the action cam now will not move the camera to the side - your car will stay consistently in view at all times
- The camera is more loose, what does that mean? When turning and coming to a full-stop for example, the camera needs time to reset itself back to the rest position - in this case? It takes longer therefore things are smoother and more loose, as intended.
More changes??
NOS related camera VFX changes:
- Generic/Signature NOS vignette has been disabled
- Generic NOS/Signature lens distortion effect has been disabled
Menu related settings:
- Most volume settings can now go past 100%
Graphical changes:
- DOF has been entirely disabled for all cameras
Car related changes (optional):
- Included an extra mod to reset stance sliders should your vehicles online be slammed due to the UNITE mod - that should revert them back removing the need to purchase the same vehicles again
This should cover hopefully everything I have changed - a lot of it is personal therefore, you will either hate or like it - feel free to checkout the broad comparisons and sample race showcase in the video section.
Wanna change the mod yourself? I will gladly include the actual project - feel free to do whatever you want with it.
Installation & Compatability
Installing it is as easy as with any other mod + it should work with pretty much any mod -> simply use the FrostyModManager 1.0.7 (also on nexusmods), add the mod, apply it and move it to the bottom of the list - I am, in this case, assuming that anybody interested already knows how to install mods but I did include a readme for the steps .
