Seems that functionalty for moving free camera forward/backward is mixed up with left/right.
Free Camera movement

- Start date
On which camera?
Car cameras tend to lock world orientation when you switch to freelook, which means as the car moves and rotates the directions will shift around.

Started from the cockpit camera (1st view) or rear outside vide of my car, pressed "free camera button" and then if I pressed forward, I was going left, if I pressed backward, I was going right. And vice versa, if I pressed left, I went forward, if I pressed right, I went backward.
So I had to mapped button accordingly to move free camera correctly.

Indeed the free camera has some weird movements. I tried other tracks, and its moving differently.
its just based on what direction the car is pointing, i have no idea why bc its really annoying sometimes lol
Free camera mode is clunky and over complicated imo. It should be as simple as "press the free camera mode key" then you're good to go.
Just similar to Assetto Corsa free camera mode.
Right now you have to hold some keys to stop the camera change while using WASD and other keys to move around which is absolutely not user friendly nor intuitive.
Also I found now way to change the camera speed which is very slow by defaut.
I just want to be able to move around the track as freely and simply as possible.
A good camera mode would be a misc of Assetto Corsa and iRacing:
* One-button press to activate and deactivate
* FPS-like movement (mouse controls heading and WASD control moving around, just like in Assetto Corsa for example)
* Zoom in and out with the mouse scroll wheel
* Ability to add camera sets (like TV1, TV2, etc) easily like in iRacing
* Ability to add cameras to the currently selected camera set easily like in iRacing
* Ability to set the camera range easily like iRacing
* Ability to control the camera settings easily like iRacing
That would be the MUST for the game (or simulator, if someone feels offended I'm calling it a game)...
You would see much more footage and broadcasts going around with these being added, which would self-promote the game of course!

There is a free camera mode already as I mentioned (check for "Free Camera" in controls settings), but in order to use it properly:
- You need to hold a key binding call "TV camera (hold)"
- The camera still moves by itself (for example if the selected camera is a drone camera)
- The camera is wayyyy to slow and there is now way to speed it up.
So these 3 points needs to be solved in order to have a decent free camera mode.
We should be able to simply move all around the track quickly, freely and at any time. Not being locked to a specific camera. (If you release the "TV camera (hold)" binding it will change camera.)
