Comments on: How To Turn Off Zwift’s “Springy Camera” View

With springy camera turned off the camera angle is very close. Not very good for racing as you dont see other riders catching up on the downhills before its too late. Also not good for sprints.

Seems like the view distance changes every time the framrate goes slighly over or slighly under 60fps in my case?

Any other way to fix this?

Vsync off and a faster hardware that keep fps over 60?
Or limit fps under 60 somehow?

THANK YOU! off now, it was giving me a headache.
All the work to create a “real world” experience in a virtual world.
Then add, without telling anyone, a completely unrealistic “Springy Camera”

In reply to Manon Holtman. so when you paste ~/Library/Application Support/Zwift/data/configs/ in the Go to Folder dialog on your machine you don't get 6 txt-files displayed incl the basic?

In reply to Manon. Manon, first search for 'graphics profile' in log.txt located at /documents/zwift/logs. you should find 'using () graphics profile' - (basic, medium, high, or ultra). Then head to the folder you posted & add 'set gUseSpringyCamera=false' to your graphics profile file, e.g., basic.txt in case you found basic in your log.txt

This map isn't located in the Application Support folder. (Macbook air) Any idea where I can find it?Really want to solve this 'cause it makes me sea sick sometimes :-)

Why do they make springy the default. The effect seems like a bug.

I actually like the slightly higher position. Especially handy when the screen gets crowded with names and powerups

Finally, I don’t have to get motion sickness on zwift.
