Description:

When I'm on a low orbit I prefer FREE camera mode, cause body I'm "falling to" has to be "below"

However KSP keeps switching camera mode to AUTO every time something happens: switched to far away vessel, ended docking etc.

So here is Keep It Straight - mod that saves camera mode between scene changes and restores it.

Please provide:

• A concise, textual description of the problem
  • Mentioning the KSP version and the TweakScale version involved
• A screenshot of the problem
• When applicable, the .craft file with a vessel that have the problem
• When asked, the KSP.log and output_txt log from Unity.
  • See this article for instructions.
  • The Player.log changed location:
    • On MacOS
      • For KSP < 1.8, they are on ~/Library/Logs/Unity
      • On KSP >=1.8, you will find the Player.log on ~/Library/Logs/Squad/KSP/
    • On Windows
      • On KSP >=1.8, you will find the Player.log on C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\KSP\
    • On Linux
      • On KSP >=1.8, you will find the Player.log on ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/KSP/
  • Publish the files on DropBox, Google Drive or similar, and post the link so we can inspect it.
    • DO NOT paste the log on Forum, this causes a lot of problems and it's useless, as Forum also truncate the file
      • It's ok to paste small excerpts to pinpoint something, but we still need the full KSP.log and Player.log in order to help you/
    • Do not use pastebin, gist or similars. They have a pretty small cap on the file size, and will truncate the log rendering yet more useless
  • Imgur is a good choice for publishing screenshots when needed.

Be sure to quit KSP before copyong the KSP.log, otherwise we risk losing information due the internal file buffers (technical thingy, it's a way to make writing files faster by consolidating lots of small writes into a big one).

Using the Issue Tracker is highly encouraged, as GitHub provides services that make everything above easier. You can open an issue there, and call me here pinpointing there to be sure to get my attention.

Thank you.

<do something with your camera> Safe!
