    When you go backwards, the camera always turns around. This happens even if you already are looking behind you, forcing you to look ahead. Its annoying. I knew how to disable it in older versions, but the files and systems used to control it have changed. Any chance of something official?

    Camera at the moment just 'flies' around. It follows the player and it has a very loose movement around it.

    Very simplistic example of what's happening:
    [streamable]xbh2[/streamable]

    The camera doesn't actually know when it's pointing the front or the back of the vehicle. The inversion that happens when you reverse is simply due the camera following the car.

    I don't recall it was possible to turn that off before? The camera system hasn't changed since then.

    There was a springiness type setting in the lua files before, set it to 0 and it locked it.

    The whole lua system changed, not sure where the file for this is now.

    Edit: Actually, it appears to work if entered into the vehicle lua console. The problem is that it would have to be entered very time the game is launched.
