Custom Car Low Camera Fix Tutorial

[B Dawg]

You might have at one time downloaded a car mod only to find out that in game the camera sits too low in comparison to other cars. Fortunately, it's a problem fixable with the magic of OpenFormats. Instructions:

- In OpenIV (Edit Mode enabled) right click the car model file and click Export To Open Formats;

- Open Notepad+ or any other text editor;

- Go to where you've extracted the car;

- In the car's folder, open chassis_0.child;

- Find the CenterOfMass values;

- Delete the unecessary 4th value (maybe do so for other parameters as well)

- Reimport using OpenIV.

Bike Edition (just gonna copypaste what I wrote on the GTA IV Modding Discord)

Find and increase this value by 0.1 for all bikes that suffer from the bug.

Copy these highlighted values from a base game bike maybe, for consistency I guess, probably don't make a difference
