Camera Shake - Do you use it?

[TinfoilChef]

turned it off without even looking at it because I'm prone to motion sickness and I really dislike throwing up

[djnattyd]

I was using KerbQuake from the second it was released and I run a lot of missions from IVA so I have it turned off only for the external view.

[bdito]

Yes. I thought it would be a silly gimmick but after trying it I like it.

[klgraham1013]

I like it for the most part. Still don't understand why the camera shakes when my Kerbal gets out of his pod.

[Matt77]

I think it adds atmosphere, though I don't think real rockets do this - surely it'd be a sign things have gone horribly wrong! I just refreshed my memory by watching the shuttle external onboard camera video, and there is no camera shake even at liftoff.

I'm keeping it turned on regardless, I like it and it probably is the Kerbal way.

[TMS]

Nope. Immediately irritating.

Can understand why it was added for IVA, but externally is doesn't make much sense.

[AbacusWizard]

So far I'm leaving it on. It looks cool, it sometimes gives me useful information about the state of the craft, and it doesn't prevent me from getting the other information I need.

[SelectHalfling0]

I couldn't really answer the poll. I use it, but only at .3 (so that it provides movement, but isn't intrusive)

[Trevisan]

Love both external and internal camera shakin'!

[Temeter]

I like it. This is a rare case of properly added cockpit shake, because it 1) makes sense/visualizes actual forces, and 2) does only happen temporarily in specific circumstances.

I have it turned down to 0.5 on the outside cam, but IVA I have it at default. I like the effect, although the default setting seems a bit high on the outside cam.

[LordFerret]

One launch is all it took. Off.

[Brotoro]

Didn't like it at all. I have turned it off.

[Slam_Jones]

It isn't something I would have added (Were it my choice) but I use it regardless.

Except for surface driving, where I like to keep the camera dead center behind the rover.

[Ridge363]

The camera shake is a lot of fun. Makes launch, staging, re-enter, you name it. More exciting by adding a sense of danger. This is only reinforced by the knowledge that we have real aero and heating.

[rodion_herrera]

I think they should change the algorithm for the cam-float/shake though. Right now, what seems to be happening is, that the camera is pointed at a specific spot on your craft, and the wobble algorithm is applied and thus the shaking occurs with this fixed point as axis/fulcrum. This doesn't make it realistic like a camcorder shot. Camcorder shots are hand-held, thus the person shooting the scene always follows the subject, and there is a DELAY in trying to center the subject. Thus, a good algorithm change would be to have this fixed axis point a moving one, and it will be followed by another point which is the axis of the camera, and there should be lag, so that it would simulate someone's hand/eye lagging behind trying to film a craft and following it so it stays in-frame. I think this is how the XPlane external camera shake is done.

[Brotoro]

The period of the vibration just made it look like my ship was wobbling. A high frequency, erratic vibration would look better, I think.

[Godot]

Yep, I use it ... it gives you a good feeling about the violent forces that act on your spaceship during reentry

[Madrias]

I've left it at default. It's really quite good, adds a visual reference when you're doing something you shouldn't. It feels like your ship's about to shake to pieces.

[Suicider]

Thinking about turning off Exterior. I like it and all, Love the Interior shaking but external just gets in the way of clicking on experiments and things like that unless you Zoom out.... Which then you can click on your Goo or other experiments if they are in a service bay thing.

[Norcalplanner]

Turned it down a bit, but it's still on.

[dryer_lint]

Yes, I use it, although it could use improvement. Don't make it less shaky, just make it a bit harder to trigger.

Shake looks fantastic during launches, especially combined with the new smoke effects. Rockets finally feel powerful, instead of feeling like large ovens.

I don't mind it during burns, since I usually burn in mapview anyways.

[panzer1b]

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

Yup, thats what i always do when playing KSP, especially since 80% of what i do involves shooting stuff, capital ships being exploded, dogfights in DPM, and some form of destruction (although lots of destruction comes from me being a horribly rocket builder that cant make stuff not explode on launch, im only good with capital ships that are Hedited to orbit, or airplanes).

That said, i like the shake, but im not big on the whole swaying especially when you arent actually going fast of pulling any gs. Shake is perfect right now, makes battleship shootouts that much better, but it really sucks to have that constant wobble when flying in atmo. Please give us option to keep shake but disable the wobble.

That said, i usually keep it around 0.5, enough to make a direct hit with a RT-5 (i love those new kinetic missiles they added) actually scary, but also low enough that its not really annoying under normal gameplay.

It provides a good feel for accelerations, I find. It also makes everything look more epic, which is certainly nice too!

[Aerindel]

I turned it down slightly but I love it overall.
