Third person camera problem !
Hello guys !
I have a problem when i use the third person camera, the third person camera is enable in the adanced menu.
When i use it in my vessel my camera is to far from my vessel, but when i'm out of the vessel the camera is ok. I tried a combination "Alt and scroll center button mouse" but i'm still to far.
Someone can help me please ?
Thanks guys.

While in the vehicle and using third person does "alt+MMW" allow you to scroll the distance at all? Make sure you are not using third person while controlling a ship via a remote control. It should work the same way but the remote control has it's own set of camera settings.

While you are outside of a vehicle and using third person, can you scroll the camera distance then?

I use third person quite a bit and haven't been having any issue. Normally when I do I forget I am using a remote device, or in "camera block" view.

Yes, when i'm in vehicle i can use "ALT+MMW" but the distance is to far away and my vehicle is very little, so i can't view correctly the details about my vehicle.
I don't play with gamepad just with mouse and keyboard.
Yes when i'm out of vehicle i don't have this problem the camera is correct.
Many thanks for this reply.

Alt while scrolling the middle mouse wheel should pull it closer if thats not working any sub grids that might be blocking the camera?

Doesn't works.
I don't know what can i do to reinitialise the camera.
But i started a new game and i don't have this camera problem.

try replacing the cockpit, if that does not work, try changing the grid type from ship to station and back again a few times... or try both things. but first make sure your keybinds are correct. so check your settings.

not so long ago the zoom settings used to be ctrl + mmw. so try that as well

For future potential reference it could be mouse-cpu related which I found can be normal. Can be tested through when placing a block set 'blocks with + sign' abd scrolling through subset. If its too fast, scrolling may be an issue in other areas. I have this 'issue' occasionally when I play SE and listen to mp4 videos, youtube.

Ok i'm gonna check this and i will do what you said about blocks.
Thanks for these tips.
It's not the first time that i have this issue.
If i have another cam problem i'm going to remembering what must i do.
Thank you.
