Improvements
Utilities
A program named Dirt3FovChange allows the modification of the field of view of DiRT 3's in-game cameras.[1] It serves as a frontend for another program called binXml whose purpose is to decrypt, edit and reencrypt the binary xml files the EGO engine uses to store the camera information.[2] Dirt3FovChange was originally posted as an archive containing binXml here. It has also been made available on the PCGW forums. See the field of view section below for instructions.
- Even though it was created specifically for DiRT 3, Dirt3FovChange could potentially be compatible with a variety of EGO-based racing games[3]. This can be further substantiated by the fact that binXml was originally designed to handle GRID's own encrypted xml files.
Game data
- Some other non user-specific configuration files are stored with the game data. See the Field of view (FOV) section for more information.

Introduction
The parameters concerning the field of view as well as the point of view of each of the in-game cameras are stored in a binary file named cameras.xml
. There is one such file for each car in the game. They are located with other car-related data in the subfolders of: \Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT 3\cars\models
.
These files can be batch edited using Dirt3FovChange[1], although DLC cars may prove problematic as their data is reportedly stored in a different location. Conveniently, a backup of the binary files will be made in text format before attempting to modify them. This allows a quick restore of the most recent state.
Notes about this fix:
- This method is reliable and stable: modifications can be made on-the-fly, while in a race.
