I too am curious to learn more about how the YouTube videos are made for Assetto Corsa. Its very cool! However, it would be nice to see some improvements, assuming they are technically feasible.
- It shows some camera angles that are quite pointless, such as the in-car cam showing the driver, or the camera showing a front tire. It would be nice to remove these cameras entirely from the YouTube videos.
- It seems to be somewhat smart about showing the driver that is involved with overtaking another car. However, assuming such logic already exists (perhaps it is my imagination?), it could use some improvement. For example:
* For the first minute of the race it should only show TV cameras, and it should be fixed (or heavily weighted) to show only one of the first 5 cars. Typically, this is where the "serious" action is at, where the race amongst the drivers that have a chance of winning can be won or lost.
* When contact occurs, unless it with someone in the bottom third of the standings, it should temporarily switch to that driver.
