Help with debug camera

[veeman]

I would like to be able to make a video of my truck on the highway from an external view point. I have gone thru several tutorials explaining how to activate the debug camera which is supposed to let me make a video. When I get to the step to start the video which is "Ctrl F12" it appears I only get a screen shot. I am using ETS2 version 1.47.2.1s. Is the "Ctrl F12" command still valid. If it is, where do I find the video. If it is not valid, what is the correct command. Any help will be appreciated.

There are no in-built "video" commands with this game. I suspect the "Ctrl-F12" keybind is specific to a video capturing software?

Also, the dev cam is a good way to position the in-game camera anywhere, in any direction. However, this camera angle is not bound to the truck, so if your truck is moving, the camera is not following! If you're streaming or recording video and want shots from outside the truck, camera 8 is the "cinematic" view, which pans as the truck goes by and then jumps ahead for another panning shot. But I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're moving slow or on a straight bit of road. Controlling the truck from that viewpoint is interesting. Otherwise, camera 2 might work, which is a chase camera bound to the truck, that can be panned around and controlling the truck is a bit easier unless you're looking backwards. ;)

Maybe the following video can help:

Ryu, thank you for your information. Where do I find camera 2 and 8?

Madman. Yes, I am very familiar with that tutorial. That is the one that has led me to the "Ctrl
F12" command but it doesn't seem to work for me. Again I ask, IF I am making a video, where do I find it. Will it be somewhere in ETS2 or in My Videos on my computer or somewhere else?

If you're using an Nvida card, press Ctrl+Z to record game play, videos are stored where you tell it to.

Camera views are toggled with the number buttons along the top of your keyboard, 1-9 with 0 being the dev cam.

Ryu. It suddenly came to me last night what cameras you were referring to. I will give your suggestion a try. Thank you

Underscore. Thank you for that information.
