Camera Shake - Do you use it?

[Merinsan]

When I first heard of the camera shake, I thought it'd be a cool effect.

The very first time I experienced it, I turned it off, because it was very annoying, and slightly nauseating.

So, does anyone use it?

[regex]

Turned it off almost immediately because it was so annoying on long burns.

[Starwhip]

I loved it, then hated it, then missed it when I turned it off.

It isn't that bad, and now it has grown on me.

[AngusJimiKeith]

Had it on for a while. It's fun on a launch...Then I realized the constant shaking was literally giving me a headache. Also, I was trying to compensate for it, because it really does look like the craft is wobbling around, rather than the camera.

Still have it on for IVA, which is really where it belongs.

[Acemcbean]

Honestly, I keep the IVA shaking up all the way, but I still needed that external camera shake, so I just turned it down without turning it off. 0.5 is good to be non-intrusive during launch, but totally prevelant during high-g maneuvers like Re-Entry

[katateochi]

yeah same thoughts on it as you guys; it was cool to start with, then nauseating so I turned it off (but still have it for IVA). It would be quite cool if it was just there while in low atmo and just when experiencing really high Gs.

[Galileo Kerbonaut]

Yes and no. I like the interior shaking, but I've disabled the exterior shaking.

[forenci]

Man, I love it! Especially during re-entry. It feels so intense.

[Columbia]

I keep it turned on at highest intensity - it really gives a cinematic feel.

[KatzOhki]

It's helpful for me to know when things are getting out of control. Cute effect on crashes too.

[Robotengineer]

It's cool and adds a little more immersion, but I prefer the original mod. The mod would determine shaking based on what engines you were using and whether you were reentering, and some other conditions, which made planes a lot easier to fly.

Exactly what I was thinking. It makes sense when you're launching with a ton of Mainsails or Kerbodyne's engines, travelling at Mach 2 with turbojet engines, crashing into the surface(and buildings), or suffering re-entry. Doesn't make much though outside of these circumstances.

Nevertheless, I like it, so I toned it down to 0.7.

[Dizzle]

I like it, especially during re-entry, and it makes atmospheric flight a little more interesting. The only problem is that it kind of gets in the way when attempting to line up with the runway.

[Hobbes Novakoff]

I love it when I'm flying high-performance planes, because whenever you go into a turn you get this "whoosh" noise and the camera shakes. It just makes you feel like you're going fast.

[Linear]

Have it on really low so i get a little wobble during explosions or high G

[Endersmens]

I absolutely love it.

Make a plane that uses SRBs to take off and you'll see why.

But seriously, like others have said, pulling High G's in a plane is awesome now, and fast launches look cool too. (now, I wonder if the shake could be incorporated into CameraTools, to make it seem like the ground is shaking while a rocket is first launching. )

[federicoaa]

I like it during reentry, it looks like the capsule is moving due to wind

[Endersmens]

Just turn on some intense music and it'll make the shake so much better

[Yellowburn10]

I personally enjoy it. It creates a new level of immersion in the game for me. My favorite part of it is the bumps you get when driving or taking off, especially the taking off part. It feels like I'm taking off in a real plane. IT'S AWESOME!

I also find that the shake isn't a concern during takeoff if you keep you speed at low Gs.

[Norpo]

I use it at 50%, not so much that it's nausea inducing, not so little that it's barely noticeable.

[zarincos]

I gave it a try but didn't like it basically instantly, so I turned it off for external views. Still looks cool in IVA, though.

[Wanderfound]

Given that it's pretty much indistinguishable from what the game does when the graphics lag, I turned it off. Nothing but annoying.

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

I turned the exterior shaking down by 50% but i kept it on IVA.

I like my Kerbals shaken, not stirred.

[Wiseman]

I dig it for launches, but when I'm doing orbital maneuvers it makes me super nervous that I'm about to lose control. At the default setting, it looks remarkably similar to the twitching spasms that happen when you've got a physics-enabled part clipped into something. (Had a probe shake itself to pieces on the launchpad until I noticed my mystery goo containers were clipped into the top of my service bay.)

Max settings on IVA and half on external cam sounds like a great idea, though! I'll be trying that out tonight for sure.

[Wallygator]

I thought it was entertaining... for about thirty seconds. It's now permanently turned off. Two sliders? Huh? Where's the "toggle" we asked for? :-)

Seriously, I can see why some people might like it, so it is likely a fine addition to the interface, but still.. I would have rather had more IVA activities and cabin control options - something for mental immersion not just overloading my visual.
