    I wish they could revert this back to the older versions. In the new versions when pressing F11 to exit the World Editor, it automatically changes the camera back to the active vehicle's camera.

    Imagine you have found the best camera angle and you are in the middle of recording a video. Suddenly you feel that you need to change something in the world editor quickly. You go to the editor and do the change but upon exit it changes the camera to vehicle view. It ruins the continuity of the shot. Even if it is not a continuous shot it adds too much extra work by adjusting the camera to the proper angle every time you use the world editor.

    Summary: please do not change the free camera to the vehicle camera upon exiting the world editor.

    Thank you!

    P.S. the new interface has so many extra and unnecessary clicks and mouse traveling compared to the old one. The old interface was just perfect.

    Yes I would not mind if the camera returning to the car was a setting you could turn off in the menu.
    (so for the people that don't mind the camera returning to the car, can still have it as it is)

    There is a setting for it in the editor preferences. In the editor go to "Edit" -> "Editor Preferences" -> "Camera" -> "Set vehicle camera when exiting editor"

    I think that should be in main options menu instead if possible, it's so hidden that most people will never find it

    Very useful until the BeamNG team adds the feature in the main game settings. Thank you!
