    Today I was driving on Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen with the front camera sat around the headlight of ICE3 and it was ton of fun. I could drive like I do in cab and enjoy the ambient sounds and track sounds too. I hope we can get a camera angle like this. The way I did it is almost perfect but the camera bounces to default position if the train wobbles too much.

    P.S: I'm fully used to driving with only keyboard and using mouse to only rotate camera or fiddle with MFD.

    I do this a lot. I keep the camera a bit forward of the train to stop it moving back to default and it still gives the same effect. An official camera position there would be a great addition though so you didn’t have to position it yourself, which can get tricky.

    They have spoilt the fun a lot in TSW2 by banning external cameras in tunnels and going through a tunnel with a ‘nose cam’ was one of the very best things about TSW2020 that has been robbed from us, for no good reason.
