Loving the game, but the camera controls are KILLING me.

[Killgannon]

Frequent speed increases when using arrow keys.
Popped aross the map for no reason
Freelook mode is the only mode I can even attempt to use, default is atrocious
Straight UP/DOWN? -No, I'm fighting middle mouse trying to get the correct angle then zooming to go down a bit more, change angle, zoom in a little, rinse and repeat.


Perhaps it's because I work in Unreal all day and this game feels much like an editor at times, but I just can't do it. I've tried rebinding the keys - doens't allow me to keybind the way I want. Not sure if I'm the only one, but a great game I struggling to play as I fight the camera controls/

Can holding right mouse button allow freelook/fly? I know their two different games, but Cities Sklines never had a problem with thier camera. Never noticed it. Props to them. Any TIPS for help would be fantasic!

Out of all the criticisms of this I've seen, this is one I can agree with.
Are you aware that there are two camera modes that can be toggled between with T. The free cam mode isn't much better but it may be less painful for you.

[Estranged]

I rebinded the keys. Everything controls like in Total War games, and right mouse button is free look. I don't see the problem....seems natural to me. Yes the controls were bad by default, but after changing them for 5 mins it feels totally natural now.

WASD do what they should, RMB = free look, mouse scroll zooms in and out.

i concur the mouse camera controls are attrocious, fighting the whole time just to pan up and down which rarely works and then out of nowhere it moves a little bit.

I also agree with this sentiment. I've decided to uninstall the game for now and hope these controls get tightened up in future. I really dread to think how these controls worked in Beta if they got improved for release.

In the camera settings, you could also try to switch from center based rotation to something like cursor based rotation. Might work better for you.

[Drinkcup]

ya.. it's kinda poor. But toggling freelook with the T key helps sometimes. Then q & e move camera up and down (i probably rebound these tho so check what your defaults are)

and another thing about all this 'easy' BS.

'easy' is never having to change the prices of anything with the default price being perfect.

I think people who call this game easy are the ones with themepark game experience. I am not complaining about the game, I think the difficultly is fine. I am complaining about the people who say its easy

I mean City Skylines I found to be easier.

[daehawk]

Ive played the other games and Im playing Skylines now. Ive owned PC since release and STILL cannot stand the controls. I cant even move around easy or rotate right. Why doesn't this game just use the same controls everyone else uses? I cant play the game at all.

[Killgannon]

Agreed
