    Well this is kind of a two part question.

    1. What is the best way to keep the reflection refraction images aligned with the active camera? Do I set the respective cameras position rotation equal to that of the active camera?

    2. What is the best way to manage cameras? I've got several vehicles and want the view to jump between them.

    Thanks!

    OK just had to tag the other cameras "Main Camera". Still, what about switching between cameras? Should I just disable the cameras not in use?

    Switching: either you activate another camera and deactivate old one (you don't want to spend processing power rendering it for no good reason); OR you just change your current camera's position/rotation to point to "another" direction.
