I demand some explanation

Oh boy... *shakes his head in disbelief*
"Waiter. Cheque please!" Sometimes its just easier to walk away from the conversation when you know you are only gonna have to repeat the same stuff over and over. And this feels like one of those times...

I have already explained to you in great detail that i wasn't being mean or angry with you. but you just don't seem to understand the difference between and so really what is the point in even trying to talk to you again, you still won't understand.
So i will leave you to try and figure out the difference between and on your own..

I bid you good day.

 

haha, I sense a ban warning for someone...

 

I understand your feelings, are you now?

Nobby76 we got off to a bad start, but I don't want dwell on it over and over again.

It's all right, now get back on topic.

 

Does anyone know how to get smooth movements with mouse? I only got jagged movements at my end. Thanks in advance.

 

First of all - AC doesn't support "Mouse Smoothing" so to get a smooth mouse movement you'd have to move the mouse the exact same distance per second every second which is obviously impossible.
Second - they disabled the editing of "camera_free" (the F7 camera) so the mouse speed there is stuck at 7 (we can't even edit the camera move speeds anymore - brilliant) , but the "camera_onboard_free" (F5 cam) is fixed at speed 1.
So if you really need mouse operated camera then try using F5 as it gives a much smoother result.

There's also the OS part - if you didn't already then go to your "Windows Mouse Properties" disable "Enhance pointer precision" as it's basically mouse acceleration and set the speed slider to the lowest value with which you can still operate Windows.

 

the right click moves the camera slowly around the car, so i would have thought that's how they've done it

 

You mean the right click in F5 cam mode right ? But look what happens when you use it a couple of times - the image starts to shake like crazy.

 

if I get my AC back, I will record a video of what I mean I never noticed any shaking

 

I know exactly what you mean - by pressing F5 you enable the "camera_onboard_free" but you didn't notice the shaking because you never disabled the "SPHERICAL_COORDS" which all of the major screenshot makers do.

 

More F5 camera hotkey goodies: Holding right click will slowly rotate camera around the car in one direct (clockwise I think). Holding right click while also pressing A or D will rotate camera in either direction, and quicker.

Spherical co-ords needs to be disabled, of course.

I've never noticed any shaking with F5 camera...

 

You never noticed it probably because you didn't release the RMB (right mouse button) and pressed it again.
Try this - with SPHERICAL_COORDS=0 - press RMB and release it, and then again - do it like 3 times and enjoy the shaker.

BTW - W and S also work in this configuration.

I now see that even arrows work - and you can slow down everything by holding Shift.

 

yes I never disabled spherical coords
if I want free camera I use F7 ( but that doesn't travel with car of course)
