UI/UX Camera behaves very strangely. Hard to describe, 'jumps' around sometimes [camera sometimes "snaps" instead of moving smoothly]

[WhereAreTheBathrooms]

Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes 
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 19045) | CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor (16 CPUs) | GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 | RAM: 32768 MB

 

Severity: Medium? Maybe Low? it's very distracting and disorienting when it happens.

Frequency: Medium, seems random and happens every few minutes for me

Description: The camera seems to occasionally jump around randomly when moving with RMB. It will behave normally one moment, then suddenly snap to a new position for no apparent reason. I've attached a video in which it happens twice; once around the 10s mark, and again around 22s. I play on Fullscreen Windowed mode, in case that's relevant here. It doesn't only happeni n the tutorial, that's just when I thought to capture it.

I'm definitely getting this issue. Could it be tied to resolution somehow? I'm on a 2k monitor Odyssey G9 5120x1440 monitor and get this CONSTANTLY.

I got new monitors recently (yay!) and this started happening to me when I played in 4K, it never happened prior to that.  I saw it happen in 0.1.5.0.  I haven't seen it in 0.2.0.0 yet, but I wonder if it's tied to framerate, since my fps is lower at 4K (but higher again in 0.2.0.0).

I see this quite a lot as well and probably spend more time fighting with the camera than I do actually playing the game. The camera rework needs to be a high priority item IMO.

This issue is present since beginning of the game. When in flight or on the launchpad, and I try to smoothly drag the camera with right mouse button pressed to change the view, the camera jumps/skips in small increments in all the time. The distance jumped is slightly different every time, but the issue is 100% persistent.

I am using a Logitech G305 mouse with and ultrawide monitor.

For context to add to the post, I play at 2560x1440

I also have this issue at 2560x1440. I tried changing the resolution but that did not fix it.

I have had this problem on nearly every flight since the last update. Here is another video showing the issue. The game also seems to run worse when I have this issue even though the FPS number doesn't change.

Yes, frametime consistency is worse than before it seems. Movements are not smooth.
