Improved Explorer Cameras

It includes two separate modes that can be toggled by pressing Z, or 1, 2, and 3 to switch to a specific camera mode. There's an Orbit mode that kind of follows the explorer's rotation, doesn't have collision, and doesn't freak out when upside down, as well as a fixed GoPro-like camera for doing loops, similar to Trackmania.

Multiplayer & Controller support

On controller, just press the Left D-pad button to change camera modes.

The mod is also entirely client-side, so it doesn't need to be installed on the server or other clients to work.

Planning to race with friends?

Improved Explorer Cameras has full multiplayer support (being that it's client-side), and if you're planning to use it with friends, I recommend BisectHosting because they're a reliable, easy-to-use, and mod-friendly server host that I trust. I've partnered with them, so they provide me a server to test my mods with, and the promo code "<code style="color:#03ddff;">SPACEGAMEDEV</code>" that gets you 25% off!
