There is a good way to allow us to look around. Can you maybe combine this mod to also have a free look toggle? (e.g. toggling with a key, or R3 for the controller)
This is exceedingly beyond the scope of this small, experimental mod. If I do decide to mod the game further, I will likely re-do this from the ground up with a different design.
I love this broom control the most, but what bugs me is when flying fast and you trying to steer with the right stick the camera moves too and turns slowly infront of the character messing up flying a lot. Is there any chance to LOCK the camera during fast flying behind the character?
edit: when using left stick for steering while fast flying the camera keeps always perfectly behind my character, but then I cant fly up or down.
This is decent, but I just wish someone would implement drone style flight controls, the default is Mode 2. This is standard across many remote control aircraft and is simple and easy to use:
I'd hate this, because WASD is forward/backward/strafe left/strafe right, with QE as turn left/right as absolutely needed. It's stuck in my head for controller usage too, and has been for ages.
Out of curiosity, with the steering controls fully bound to the right stick, is the camera still bound there as well? I suppose what I'm asking is: does this mod make it so that where you are looking is where your broomstick is pointing in the left/right sense? (I know you can't look up or down on the broom). See, I think my biggest difficulty with the damned vanilla controls is that when I'm using both sticks to try and steer I keep trying to use the right stick to go left and right because I'm used to having the character go where the camera is pointing. Am I describing that well? It would be SO MUCH EASIER when flying at speed to not have to worry about where your camera is pointing so you can just concentrate on FLYING! The brooms are terrible enough at turning as it is without adding confusion to the mix.
Tried this out in-game yesterday. I had NOT been able to pass even the first flight race on the old controls. MUCH better with this, acts more like how I use the controller when on the ground. Thanks much!
The vanilla controls are perfectly fine for flying towards the left and right. I just don't understand why they locked it so you can't do the same vertically by looking up and down.
You're right in saying that the other mods don't really fix the issue.
Mouse Controls for Broom sucks because rotating the camera itself shouldn't cause you to fly up or down, which should only happen when you press W whilst looking up or down.
Free Look Camera sucks because it has nothing to do with flight control, when you are free cam-ing you're not moving.
I assume you mean mouse and keyboard? For the moment, my game is unplayable due to a bug in the recent version which has locked my character into a trial.

The missing of a free camera during fly in this game make some really frustrating situations

Hope you could make this mod work for PC.
