One observation. If the camera points forward, the horizon is supposed to be in the middle of the screen. Pictures here:

Is there any car in Stunts with the proper settings?

Is there any post of yours with the proper message?

All of them. Why? Anyway, I wanted to put a page about (and with) Stunts on my site, but I just realised that I can't use any car. Is there any way to put that horizon in the middle of the screen without deactivating the dashboard? I already pointed out a problem, but I think it's worse.

The cars are too low, but besides that, the landscape is drawn in the wrong position.

Matei

The messages are about the position, not the alignment of the horizon, so now the title of the topic is wrong.

I found 2 ~usable cars. The horizon is a little lower. "Williams FW15C" and "Street Hawk", screenshots attached.

Stunts is not about realism, it's a fun game with a lot off issues that make it unique..

In this case though it is easy to alter the height of the horizon, it's a setting in the car file. Usually a higher horizon line is chosen to make more of the track visible. Because of the low resolution a lower horizon makes driving more difficult. Feel free to change that in your own software.
