There are several commands I know of affecting camera angle. The following are for Primo, there may be others for NextGen or it may be completely different.
lowspeed=km/h
highspeed=km/h
minangle=degrees
maxangle=degrees
maxdistance=metres
angleoffset=degrees
defaultangle=degrees
speedangle=0(off) or 1(on)

The following is my understanding of how it all goes together:

When you are NOT at a maneuver OR have no route, AND travelling at or below lowspeed=, then camera is at minangle=
When you are NOT at a maneuver OR have no route, AND travelling at or above highspeed=, then camera is at maxangle=
As previously described, when you are within maxdistance= of a maneuver, angleoffset= takes over
I never did figure out what defaultangle= is for
Remember to set these parameters for all cameras (1,11,2,21,3,31) which you use.

I haven't experimented to see how the software handles the transition from lowspeed= to highspeed=

Also remember the situation is further complicated by speedzoom settings, which operate in a similar way and use the same lowspeed= and highspeed= parameters

Good luck with your work, personally I experimented for a few hours mostly to understand how the different settings work, then just accepted the defaults that came with the programme as it all got too difficult

In Nextgen do You use ux/ tilt_the_map.zip? With this zip any angle string in sys is unusefull.

Hi,
How to adjust the height of buildings?
Thank you

**cam1981** · 28th September 2018, 01:12 AM

try this command in sys, testing other values until you get the desired height

[3d]
building_height_scale=0.7 ; (0.5 , 0.6 , 0.8, 0.9)

Hi all, I post here even if my question is related to nextgen (I think sys is valid for both). Would it be a way to operate from sys on the online traffic events? I have part of a street I drive on, blocked since a month or so, but yesterday finally appeared as blocked in nextgen, the problem is that appeared as blocked entirely (only part of the road is really blocked by administrators) and NG doesn't route me anymore on the part which is not blocked. It would be nice to have the possibility to remove that event (or modify it somehow without impacting on the other events). Thanks to all iGo gurus out there!

Hi,
Just a quick question; what was the line in the sys.txt again to change the street name balloons on the map to the rounded more "chat" bubble kind instead of the square pointy balloons?
I got it my my backup sys.txt but lost it

It is quite hard to search for it on the forum as for the life of me can't remember what is was called >_<
