About the brand new update!
First of all love the smooth feel of moving the camera around, very nice! If I may make some suggestions, I think it would be cool to hold alt to look around the car, and otherwise keep the camera locked as before. Also if possible, a reset to default settings button would be awesome! Finally in my opinion the camera has a hard time tracking the car now, before it really got the same feel as the screenshot for this addon, but now it seems to track the side of the car a little too much...the first person camera also appears to be glitched underneath the car now, so there is that as well. This is a bit more subjective but the motion blur is a but strong and everything seems very blury, maybe have a slider for the strength as well? Hopefully some of this is helpful, my friends and I actually just discovered this and the same day it gets a new update! XD Anyways thank you so much for this, it truly is game changing for simfphys and gmod drifting!

Thanks for the feedback. Good idea about holding down a button to enable mouse look, I will probably find some way to toggle between holding a bindable button to lock or unlock the camera.

You are correct about the camera not following as much as before, since I rewrote the majority of that code from v0.2. I could make a slider to control how "locked" the camera is to the car.

The first-person camera by default is in the ground, you can change the position of it in Q -> Options -> First Person Settings. Will definitely try to find a better way to calculate the default position for this.

As for motion blur, this addon doesn't add any motion blur so I have no idea lol. Might be an addon conflict or something.

Ah thank you for the response! Duh about the first person thing, sorry about that lol. Oh gotcha! Like I said we had just found it so had no idea it was completely rewritten! Was really confused when I fired my game up again and it was suddenly completely different, thought I had broken it XD Excited to see how this addon evolves, but after using it for probably 6 hours straight I just have to say thank you so much again for this addon, wish we had found it sooner! :)

So after using this for a lot longer we have managed to get it to feel a bit more like it did before using the sliders and different settings, so awesome that it has so much customization! If I might make another suggestion though, can you make it so that the camera has collision on the terrain like normal Gmod's camera? The ability to get the camera closer to the ground and have it zoom in on the car was one of my favorites, and it won't clip through the ground anymore lol. If not I totally understand, no clue what kind of limits you are working around.

Seconded on making the camera have collision similar to the default camera, would make it a lot better. Also having the same issue as Nickumtoo where the first person camera is in the ground.

You can fix the first person camera, you have to set it yourself for each vehicle and then save that config to that particular car! It's right around the same location for all the configuration of the third person camera, hope that helps!

Does it save the value for the entire server or just for the client that saves it?

Maybe try calculating the default position based on the players head bone?

Sorry I'm not totally sure, but I think it's just client side.

Hi, could you tell me when the addon will be updated, compatible with the new engine [LVS]?
