Changing glance settings Smartcam (0.3)

[Lackadaisical]

Don't know if this has been addressed before, but one of the reasons I've started using a custom camera on 0.3 is because the glance settings on the smartcam are kind of ridiculous.

The thing that bugs me the most is how you can specify the speed the camera glances away with CAMERA_GLANCE_ANGULAR_VELOCITY, but you can't specify how fast the camera switches back to the regular position. This wouldn't be that bad if it wouldn't take ages for the camera to do so: when you just want to see if anyone's behind you and you tap glance back for a split second, it still takes forever until the camera looks to the front again. (yes, I know you can tap glance back twice, but that's beside the point)

So, well, what I'm asking for is to let the camera go back after a glance with the speed defined by CAMERA_GLANCE_ANGULAR_VELOCITY, and to set this setting a little bit higher by default.

I switched to custom cam for the exact same reasons.
I'm sure it has been stated here before, the answer being that all cam code was a mess. But making the speed the cam returns to front after glance configurable would have fixed all my foibles.

I don't like the custom cam in 0.3 because i got used in 0.2.8.2 that i can look backwards when i press "down". Now it turns sometimes left, sometimes right and if i have luck i can see what's going on behind me again.
And one more problem is that it lasts a bit too long for me because each time i do what i described above, i can see the camera moving although i want to see it as fast as possible without any interruptions (whatever they are supposed to do)

Basically, yes. You need to wait for one of us to get annoyed with the current camera enough for a fix/rewrite/amendment (the mercam glances are designed to all work the way they do, so maybe a 'quick glance back' extra key is required). I'll be doing more playing on trunk versions soon, I've been stuck with 0.2.8 because that's where the fixing focus is currently on, but that's slowly changing.

i modified the xml file and the problem is solved now: the turn-speed of the camera is better to me and i have left out all i don't need. i think i have more fps by using this HUD.
can someone please download this and only insert the "benboisclock" in my mixed up-cockpit? i wasn't able to figure out how i can do that

Totally agree.
Either that or create a new setting... Right now that speed of return is the same of CAMERA_CUSTOM_TURN_SPEED, I talked about that here.
I've been slowly inscreasing that speed to a higher value, to make the new cam usable for me, but I have no idea how some crazy people use it at 20

The camera glance is definately my biggest problem with 3.0
If the glance would revert back quickly I would use 0.3
