Disable camera auto-center?

[kalleguld]

Whenever I use the mouse to move the camera, it back to the normal position directly behind the car. I find this very annoying, as I already know how to move the camera myself.

Is there a way to disable the camera auto-centering "feature" while driving in GTA5?

It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying when I try to get my helicopter to hover in place or not dip etc and my camera is at a good angle and then it auto-centers and throws me off balance and now I'm having to fight the vehicle controls and the mouse from auto centering if I stop moving it for one second.

I have better situational awareness in flight in third person and this really pisses me off that theres no option to disable the auto-center in third person. I'll try to look for a mod that removed the third person auto center in singleplayer at least but it sucks that means I have no such option for multiplayer and am stuck with it until the devs add the option if ever.

Been present forever! This game is such fun, implement this please :D

Really only useful when your using a controller. The best thing you can do is just increase the time it takes before the game takes control.

I guess there is still no fix for this...

this AutoHotKey script prevents the game from auto-centering, by forcing the mouse to move 1 pixel up and down every 900 milliseconds !!!

Loop
{
MouseMove, 0 , 1,, R
Sleep, 900
MouseMove, 0,-1,, R
Sleep, 900
}

All you have to do is install AHK from autohotkey.com, make a text file with notepad on desktop, fill it with the short text above, save, rename the file extension to .ahk instead of .txt, right-click and run it in administrator mode. When you want to stop it, right-click the H icon in sytem tray and kill it.
In game, you have to use Windows input mode in Keyboard settings (first option), and that's it!
For me it works MAGIC driving, flying, and parachuting, and my toaster is slow enough that the 1 pixel up/down jitter doesnt bother me at all. Sometimes the game does autocenter once in a while (like it would skip a heartbeat of that script), but you can fix it by using a lower number of milliseconds, say 400 instead of 900.

ALSO, this fix works absolutely awesome combined with SanAndreas-style Plane camera mod and the No Turbulence mod !!! First one prevents the camera from rolling with the plane (keeps horizon horizontal) and the second one eliminates the idiotic unrealistic wind jittering of the plane!

Added a line to toggle it with second mouse side button. You can change XButton2 with whatever button you would like. (Example: P::Pause, Toggle)


Loop
{
MouseMove, 0 , 1,, R
Sleep, 900
MouseMove, 0,-1,, R
Sleep, 900
}
XButton2::Pause, Toggle

Tried the script. It works, and my mouse twitches up and down slowly while out of game. However, in game, it causes my camera to wack out and flip viewing angles, or jump up and down by a few inches at a time. It's a good idea, but there must be something different in my game settings, if it's working well for other people.

hmm, are you using Windows input mode in Keyboard settings (first option, in-game)? maybe that's the problem. I can't verify now, don't have it installed :(

Hiya, I've created a little program that runs besides GTA V and will fix the auto camera centering while driving in 3rd person mode. It's working great for me and a relief after having struggled with the stupid camera for years. Works perfectly in Fullscreen and the input method set to Windows. Almost got Raw Input working too.

Toggle on and off with the Pause key, will probably make this a setting.

Let me know if you run against any issues please!
