C'mon, who cares about some fluff to camera movement when it is still as slow as on TQ and boring?

Better let's talk about that exciting d-scan window and slider and editbox and km/AU converter and...

Forward/backward cameras would be really fun! The latter fixed camera would be fulfiled if we had a 'disable stargate camera changes' setting combined with the current 'tracking camera off' setting.

A neat byproduct of disabling the stargate cameras... you would be traveling the interstellar space pointing sideways, so you would get some novel views of that sexy jump tunnel.

Been testing out all the things on SiSi lately, and I absolutely love all the UI changes. However this is the single, only thing I found myself not liking.
I always have my dscan window separated into it's own permanently visible window, and I find myself checking and un-checking "Use Tracking Camera" in the dscan window A LOT. I loathe the tracking camera in pvp but it's a godsend when dscanning a system quickly.
Now, everyone is entitled to their own taste, and personally the radial style menu (when holding down and dragging the mouse to select something) isn't something i find myself using, like literally ever. To me it feels slow and somewhat awkward. I still love my right clicking and my checkboxes. It might not be as graphically fancy or innovative, but it's fast, efficient, and it works.

A suggestion would be to keep that checkbox in the Dscan window as well as the new changes. When the radial menu was introduced, we still had the right clicking option, so that people who prefer the old system can still use it. Why not do the same with the dscan window? I really don't understand the reasoning behind removing this little checkbox, so please enlighten me.

Try again. Pressing C is not the same thing, at all. What that will do is track, BUT it will offset the camera as to not be perfectly centered on the selected object. This is useless when using a 5 degree dscan.

Just tried it out and it seems you're right, having the tracking camera on, makes pressing C center on the object. Very nice. I stand corrected.
I still miss the checkbox however.

It is faster, especially when angle of rotation is not big (below 60 degrees or sth like that) difference is clearly visible.

I guess "good job" is in order and +1 like for you, sir.

It's still linked to FPS although the camera speed is a bit faster than before. With V-Sync off there is still a significant speed increase.

Another thing which bothers me is the automatic zooming to your ship while tracking camera is switched on. I think this was disabled on the previous Sisi build. Since I'm playing zoomed out with tactical overlay I was very happy about the change.

Could you please introduce an option to switch off the zooming in tracking modus? Or is there another way to do it?

I hate keyboard shortcuts - I recline when I pay Eve and can't reach my keyboard, period.

So make damn clickable buttons in the overview to turn tracking on/off and the same for drone commands. Buttons that are there all the time and are not hidden in a sub-menue - it's too much clicking right now.

Screw the damn keyboard shortcuts. Only propeller heads that like command line interfaces use them.

And what is this damn D-Scan spamming - make it repeat automatically. CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK WTF !!!!

Thanks for the feedback so far. We're taking a look at the FPS issue and have identified at least one more component of the motion where this is in play.

i am happy that the checkbox isn't there anymore. Saves a few pixels and lets you display more actual information instead - without losing functionality.

btw since you are probably looking at the code for that right now. Could you link the camera sway to the "disable camera shake option"?
