Hi - this is amazing work and something I have been looking for a long time! Just a quick one - would you consider an option to be able to move the main car further down the screen so there is less of a gap (similar to the original). This is may sound like a minor point but it was probably one of the first things I noticed and something that seemed slightly off subconsciously from an Outrun experience. If not - this is still amazing!

Thank you very much!
You're not the only one with this suggestion. I'll look into it tonight. This might be a simple fix of simply putting the camera higher, but this may also mess up the sprite system where the cars may look like they go up.
If it works, I'll add the option. Maybe I'll map a camera button where you can switch between both options while you're driving. Perhaps even a bumper cam.
I figured out why I didn't move the car further down. It messes up the turbo flame. It's not directly behind the car, but about a meter behind it, so it wouldn't clip through the floor. If I move the car, I have to reposition the flame(s) for each car.
I'll probably update the code in the future so it dynamically repositions itself, depending on the position of the car.
