Observer Setup
Warning!
Just because you are in the "Observer" section, does not mean you are an observer. This is for the POV and freecam observers.
POV Observer Setup (Recommended)
To adjust recommended POV camera settings, open:
Settings -> Viewing -> General
*Specific setting info below
Freecam Observer Setup (Recommended)
Camera Sensitivity
Adjust pan and acceleration speed to low settings for smoother camera shots.
2. Controller Support (XY Controller)
Connecting an analog controller provides smoother movement vectors than a keyboard.
DS4Windows Setup:
- Download and run DS4Windows
- Connect your controller via USB or Bluetooth.
- Ensure your controller maps correctly in the DS4Windows Controllers tab.
