Default More NFS Shift, more movie action, more... ZZzzzz......

Yes, I know, get a life! But once in a while something comes along and gives you
permission to have fun again. At my age that usually involves taking a double dose
of ibuprophen for my dodgy back, or being a devil and eating a whole packet of
cookies instead of just half.

Shift continues to make me smile, and the camera control util released by Racer_S
has added a new dimension to the experience. Now I can set the FOV at about 0.7 for
the most spectacular TripleHead experience in (my) sim racing history. It's just...
well, amazing! Sadly I can't persuade Fraps to capture that as smoothly as I'd like
at a decent resolution, but I have -- fairly predictably -- made this...

.... to show some of the additional fun Racer_S has brought to the party. The
cockpit shots there are set at about 0.7 FOV. Imagine the rest of the cockpit
either side and that's what's making me grin this week. It even makes up for the
fact that this mod adds horrible delays to all the loading sequences. They're
annoying, but the mod's free and on balance it's worth the hassle.
