Given the voting trend I don't think this poll needs to continue for one full month as I planned. I'll keep it open till next Sunday in case new insights arise, then I will wrap up the new SuperSight edition.

It's a "distorted geometry mod" where I have altered one of the coefficients of the 3D rotation matrixes, adding a roll effect to everything.

This is the moderate edition with a roll effect of about 40°. I have a variant with a bigger roll showing even stranger things: the car crashes during the animation where it rolls out of the container truck (showing that the physics engine is already active), but as soon as you press a key the car is "resurrected" and placed on the start line. Due to the distorted gravity, however, it crashes immediately again and takes off, falling indefinitely in the void.

Since SuperSight 2.00 unlocks the camera elevation, it's now more difficult to achieve the specific camera angle used to verify OWOOT replays. Is it possible to add a hot key to set this camera angle? Below are the required camera settings:

Distance: 210
Azimuth: 512
Elevation: 240

Should be possible and I'll look into it.

If anyone feels the mod should not have an hotkey to make the OWOOT verification faster, or its use should be restricted to tournament managers only, please speak now or forever hold your peace.

(No objection whatsoever, it's a clever solution for the matter at hand :) )

To me, it'd be great for it to have it too, of course
