v2.3.2 ??Camera detach fix (complete)

Changes v2.3.2

• Fixed: Camera flying away when pressing WASD to drive possessed vehicles
  • v2.3.1 fixed the IsLocalAircraft ambiguous match, but the camera still transitioned to free camera mode
  • Now also patches CameraStateManager.CheckChangeState to block all camera state transitions during possession
  • Root cause: the game's CheckChangeState has its own internal AnyMoveInput check separate from CameraOrbitState.AnyMoveInput

Installation

1. Extract ZIP to game folder
2. Structure: BepInEx\plugins\VehicleControl.dll

v2.3.1 ??Camera detach fix

Changes v2.3.1

• Fixed: Camera immediately detaching after possessing a vehicle. Caused by a game update adding a new method overload that broke the camera lock patch (IsLocalAircraft Ambiguous Match).

Installation

1. Extract ZIP to game folder
2. Structure: BepInEx\plugins\VehicleControl.dll

v2.3.0 — Camera Lock Fix + BepInEx Compatibility

What's New in v2.3.0

Bug Fixes

• Camera no longer breaks free on WASD — Patched GameManager.IsLocalAircraft to recognize possessed units, preventing CameraOrbitState from switching to free camera mode during WASD input
• Camera survives scene changes — Fixed stale CameraStateManager reference that caused camera follow to fail when switching missions (always re-finds via FindObjectOfType)
• BepInEx compatibility fix — Standalone FrameHelper MonoBehaviour on separate DontDestroyOnLoad GameObject, survives BepInEx_Manager destruction that occurs on some systems

Technical Details

• GameManager.IsLocalAircraft Postfix: returns true for possessed unit → camera stays locked
• CameraOrbitState.AnyMoveInput Prefix: blocks WASD input from reaching camera during possession (double safety)
• FrameHelper pattern: Update(), FixedUpdate(), OnGUI() all run on standalone GameObject independent of BepInEx lifecycle

Installation

1. Download VehicleControl.dll
2. Place in BepInEx/plugins/
3. Default key: F8 to possess nearest friendly ship/vehicle, F7 to toggle direct/waypoint mode

v1.3.0 — Configurable Keybind + Cruise Control

What's New

Configurable Keybind

• Possess key can now be changed in BepInEx/config/com.noms.vehiclecontrol.cfg
• Default remains F8 — change it if it conflicts with other mods

Cruise Control (Ground Vehicles)

• Press C to lock current throttle — vehicle maintains speed without holding W
• Press C again or S to disengage

Tips

• Ground vehicles in Hold Position won't move — give them a movement order first, then possess
• You can possess from spectator/free camera
