Does anyone know of a way to set up a free camera setting ?

In other words, Using the mouse to position the camera, and have it stay there without slowly returning to the default angle as soon as movement of car or ped is inititiated.

I find it annoying, especially in pursuits when I have to keep adjusting the camera angle to my prefered position.

Yeah I would love a solution to this. It is very hard to drive when the camera keeps going for a bumper shot of your car.

You can control the camera using a mod called "Cam-Control":

It might not be what you're looking for though, it enables you to move the camera around, which is mainly useful for recording videos.

Thx for taking the trouble to include a link.

Yep, it's not exactly what I am after as it's a driving follow cam related thing I am after.

That said I never knew about this mod, and it will be helpfull to me for other things. (making vids etc, as you pointed out)

In another game published by R* ... "LA Noire" I was pleased to see there was an option to unlock the car follow camera position. Just wish GTA IV had this too.

I have messed with various files and tried to change the default position of the follow cam, but with no luck. it's all beyond my tallents tbh.

I did find a file that had x y and z axis of the camera that follows the car but I just couldn't work it out.

I haven't seen any mods or tweaks that does that.

I'm more interested in moving the position of the dashboard angle, it's usually way off when using modded vehicles.

Yep that too can be annoying. Must be a setting somewhere that positions these views. I will keep looking.

While we are on the subject does anyone know what the "handbrake cam" on / off does. I can't seem to see any noticable difference either way by selecting on or off.

Afaik that just causea the cam to follow the bumper quicker when you do a 180 handbrake turn. I could be weong though.
