    Please, would you consider the addition of the ability to change the FOV (essentially "zoom control") on the Free Camera (Shift + C), without having to go into [ Esc > Debug > Toggle Field of View > FOV Slider ] each time one wishes to adjust it? Especially on the fly in the game. It would be nice to maybe tie it to the - or = keys so one can zoom in and out, like one can move distance in and out, in Orbit View. Or pick any bindings available.

    Also it would be nice to be able to set and save a default FOV value for that camera, so it doesn't always default back to FOV= 80°, when restarting the game. Personally, I prefer my FOV's at 45°, as that's more realistic for me personally, but of course others would have the choice to set their default FOV wherever.

    I know you guys are busy with a ton of stuff, and I know it's probably not a priority, but if you'd consider this for later, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion! For a future update, the zoom bindings will start working for the free camera too :)

    I have a question "kinda on this subject" maybe you can help...I would like to know how to "Freeze" the shift C / f8 unrestricted cam, I love to freedom on this camera but I see other use it then freeze it, or attach it to a car in a position that is not possible with the other cameras, how is this done?

    I think you're talking about the Relative camera (see Options > Camera to see which binding switches to it).

    Alpha keyboard “5” typically handles the relative camera... unless individual mod authors have varied that for their specific cars.

    Yes the relative camera #5 is exactly what I was looking for, its movement is controlled by w,s,a,d.....Thank You
