(2019) Freedom Camera - Great except for one thing

I absolutely adore the new freedom camera mode. The increased range of visibility is fantastic and so useful in all kinds of PVM situations. There's one small issue I have at Telos though, which is the place I was most excited to use it. Whenever you change platform, it zooms the camera closer in to the player, closer than it would it other camera modes.

This wouldn't be an issue with a mouse with a proper scroll wheel, granted, since it would be just one flick to bring the camera back out again. With a Corsair Scimitar though, because the scroll wheel can't free-spin, it's tedious to zoom back out after every single phase point (and I've been trying to adjust the scroll speed with no luck, I can only seem to change my browsing scroll distance. Doesn't work when in the RS client window).

Suggestion: Allow the camera to remember the zoom distance on phase points or other instances where the camera might shift.

It would be a small QOL fix, but it'd be much appreciated!

This is certainly something that should be looked at.

A few weeks ago I did dev work on a zoom sensitivity slider, so hopefully that alleviates the issue somewhat :) (once it gets through the QA process obviously)

Can you please also make a freedom camera which moves like classic rather than like RS3 camera? Thanks

I did that at the same time, so I assume that will get through at around the same time the zoom sensitivity slider is out.
