List of Cameras

TrackMania Nations Forever as a game has 11 main cameras. Each camera provides a different view of one's operated vehicle. Players have used these cameras to their advantage numerous times, whether to see more things in front of them, to just play casually, or to admire the wonderful scenery all around them.

Cam 1
Cam 1 is positioned behind and a bit up from the player. Statistics have shown that 43% of players play with Cam 1 to this day, as it provides a better view of what is in front of the player, which many people use as an advantage to finish hard maps on their very first try.

Cam 2
Cam 2 is positioned entirely behind the player, in which the car's spoiler takes around 30% of the view. Even though this might seem ridiculous and disadvantageous, a lot of players play with this camera as it is the default camera when you start up the game for the first time.

Cam 3
Cam 3 is practically the first-person view that one might see in any sort of games, such as Grand Theft Auto or Virtual Skipper.

A lot of technical players like Sonic13 use this camera for higher precision. Do not get afraid however, as most people think that their car has disappeared once they have accessed Cam 3.

Cam 4
Cam 4 is a closer version of Cam 2, being positioned directly behind the driver's head and above the car's spoiler. This camera is not often used, as people have gotten used to Cam 2, due to it providing a better view of what is ahead.

Cam 5
Cam 5 is positioned right above the player in a helicopter-like view. Even though this camera is not that popular nowadays, it was commonly used back in 2006 on the very first lol maps. The reason for the camera's highly unpopular culture is that the player can essentially see nothing when a map has a roof over the actual course.

Cam 6
Cam 6 is a side-view of the player's car and is practically not used at all by anyone. The exact reason why this camera even exists in the game is unknown, although some sources say Nadeo used the camera for debugging the skins' hitboxes.

Cam 7 & 8
Cam 7 & 8 are both free-roam cameras. They allow players to go around the map wherever they want, even outside of the stadium, and into the void. A lot of people have however noted, that going into the void is actually not a task worth achieving, as there is absolutely nothing down there. Again, nothing was discovered and no one should ever venture beyond the map boundaries.

Cam 9
Cam 9 is a camera supported exclusively on VR headsets. This camera allows the player to view the complete inside of the cockpit of the car, and even allows them to push buttons on the steering wheel, such as the nitro button. The compilation patch, however, removes that possibility for fairer competition.

Cam 10
Cam 10 is positioned at roughly X: 225, Y: 105, Z: -35, giving players the point of view of the flag poles on the edges of the stadium. Many players used this for cinematic purposes as to not waste too much time with the mediatracker. It is accessible by pressing the F10 key.

Cam 11
Cam 11 can (reportedly) be accessed by pressing the PageUp, LCTRL, RAlt and PrintScreen keys simultaneously. This, however, might not always work, and holding Space is sometimes also necessary. As no player has ever successfully pressed this key combination, it is currently unknown what position this camera stands at, but the members of team Brain are hard at work figuring this mystery out.
