Shaking camera

[kiwiak]

How about new mode of camera: shaking effect simulating operator camera trying to track fast mooving object.

Like on scene from apollo 13 launch.

It woudl work only if engines are active, the more throttle, the more shaking.

Two problems:

1 - I imagine that would only look cool if you had a high FPS. If you're animation is lagging that would very quickly change from looking cool to looking really messed up and frustrating.

2 - Remember that there are some things the GUI only lets you control by right clicking on a part to bring up the menu. Imagine having to make an emergency on the spot command to one of the parts and you can't bloody right click on the thing because it's constantly moving about on your screen. That might get exceedingly frustrating.

Y'know I bet this could be done with a mod. If you could grab the main camera reference, your ship's velocity, and the amount of atmosphere it's traveling through, you could do some clever maths and apply a random vector to the position of the camera (in the process lerping it back to its original position). This would be easily tweakable too.

I like my game to NOT shake and give me a headace, thank you very much

That would pose huge problems when you need to right click on something on the vehicle, so no thank you, this is fine enough.

Trembling in IVA mode, however, would be cool.

I believe new camera modes are on what not to suggest list. At least my suggestion to introduce landing camera was locked due to that some time ago.

I like the idea of this (although it's probably been mentioned before). There's no reason for anyone to have a problem with it if camera shake could just be disabled at the push of a key, however it would make launches much more dramatic and less tedious for a while.

Heh, this makes me think of EVE online where camera shake was the second thing I always disabled on a new install, right after auto target back.
