    Hello all,

    I just had a very simple suggestion: In Train Simulator Classic, the free camera starts (i.e. get detached from trailing the train) at the exact position and the moment you press the key binding (default 8), whereas in Train Sim World it starts at a fixed position near the train.

    Now the boom camera functionality in Train Sim World is amazing, a great improvement over TSC's (akin to default 2). It is my go-to external camera view to watch the surroundings or take screenshots, but whenever I want to adjust the camera angle and take a screenshot on the move, free camera immediately takes the view to the fixed starting position.

    I don't know if this could be done before TSW4 is released but I think making it as in TSC would be a great improvement over the current state of free camera. One minor issue would be that since the camera in TSW has collision and does not clip through objects as it did in TSC (when you press 8 in cab view in TSC the entire train passes through the camera), it might be a good idea to limit transition to free camera to only external views (or take it to the current fixed position if pressed in cab view).

    Pardon me if that functionality exists in TSW with another keybinding :D
