Lock to horizon? #6

Hi!

This mod is a huge step in the right direction, and I love how we're now locked to the seat. Is it possible to enable the Dynamic Vehicle Camera as well? That makes the view stay level with the horizon, and not the vehicle. Makes for a much more natural view in my setup at least.

Hey, I just took a look at the VehicleCamera code from Giants, and from what I can see, they explicitly avoided locking to the horizon if head tracking is enabled. I'm not sure why they did that, and it would not be easy to change, I think. The mod might have to override the entire camera update function, which might break some other camera mods.

I can imagine that a lock to the horizon might be a bit annoying on hilly maps since you would have to look up constantly while driving uphill, and vice versa, to see where you're going. So the mod would need a toggle button for the locking.

I don't want to disappoint you, but this is out of scope of this little bugfix that Giants forgot about. Unless someone has a solution in mind that I did not see?

That's too bad.

I'll drive with it some more and see if I get used to it, but it just feels wrong when my head is level and the view is tilting as the tractor drives over undulating terrain.
