Just wondering if this idea has gone through the mind of anyone else...

What bothers me about the cockpit view is that it is the same for every truck. I've seen people ask about changing the inside decor, but that doesn't cut it for me.

Has anyone thought about or tried to create a more realistic cockpit scenario, such as taking the chase near view and zooming into the chassis so you can see the hood and front tires? I know the chase near camera doesn't move with the truck, so obviously this would not work right, but does anyone think there is a way to take the cockpit cam (dashboard removed) and place it back inside the designed truck? I don't know how the innards of the game work, so this is for someone who definitely knows what they're doing.

Whenever you see a cockpit cam from a real show, you see the hood, the front tires, it's an incredibly exciting view. I hope this can be achieved somehow.

Hope everyone is well

Thanks sir.

Unfortunately, what I gather is what I assumed. The cockpit view makes the truck "invisible", but is the only cam that actually moves with the vehicle.

Again, I don't want to design a cockpit picture, I'd like to place a cam inside the existing designed truck.

Does anyone know how to alter the chase cameras? such as tilt and zoom? MTM64 had this capability.

Only way to achieve what your after is to make a truck in bin edit, and position it so far back on the Z axis that chase near/far camara is inside the cockpit. I seen the result, cool feature, but useless due to handling, could be mistaken though.
