Better view/camera control

[Kurtis_Donald_USMeS (Kurtis)]

I’ve almost always exclusively used the third person camera in Zwift. I do not know what factor determines how far back the camera goes, but sometimes it is so close it cuts off my rear wheel.

When racing this view is horrible and doesn’t allow you to see attacks coming from behind. Using the drone view has been my solution since I can zoom the camera out and see more of the field. The problem here is that the camera doesn’t follow the rider so I have to steer this view the entire time and close the action bar every time it pops up.

Is there a way to make the 3rd person camera go further back through like settings file or something so it wall always track me, or a way to make the drone camera track me?

if you have steering device paired like the play controllers then the view gets zoomed in a little, as far as I know there are no settings to move the camera back further or make the drone follow the rider.

The drone camera has been broken for 26 months.

at a time when zwift say they are pulling elite racing broadcasts the tooling for community is really not helping when basic features like drone cam don’t work.

26 months to put an if statement in a bit of code is mind blowing it’s not been fixed.

Other way, pairing the controllers zooms it out a bit so you see more plus fixes the shake effect on steep slopes
