    Hello devs and community
    The reverse camera is driving me nuts right now, when i try to see something in front of the car and i reverse, the camera flys to the back of the car.

    I would like an option that either disables the camera rotation or even better an option that disables the rotation but only when receiving input from the player.

    Detailed explanation:
    When option is enabled:
    When i spawn a car and reverse, the camera should act as it does now, but when i do the same AND try to control the camera it should disable the camera rotation, while i give it input, and a couple of seconds after(just like GTA).

    When Option is disabled:
    It should act as it does now.

    I have searched the forum and i could not find anything related.

    +1 It's so annoying reversing slowly onto something! It just keeps rotating and stuff!

    I do have it turned off, just have to put a zero instead of 1 somewhere, won't autorotate like that anymore.

    somewhere in the game config files, dunno precise location.

    You have my full backing in this idea.
    I just hate it when I go to back into things and the camera just spins round!!!

    I believe the camera follows the car's velocity vector, because the game engine doesn't actually know which way to point the camera. This probably has the unintended side effect of flipping the camera when reversing. Nonetheless, I support this idea. In the meantime you can just spam the reset camera button while reversing.
