Unable to drive with WASD in Freelook after assigning WASD to vehicle turret control
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

As a vehicle gunner, I find WASD keys to be way better to control the turret than relying on mouse aim (especially for scanning horizon).

But after assigning WASD to "Aim Up/Down/Left/Right" in Controls > Vehicle movement then this strange issue occurs: when you activate Freelook as a driver, WASD keys no longer control the car movement, instead working as Look keys .

Steps To Reproduce
  1. In the editor, place a player and an empty Hunter GMG
  1. Assign WASD to "Aim Up/Down/Left/Right" in Controls > Vehicle movement
  1. Get in as gunner and see how you can control the turret with WASD (3rd person, 1st person and Optics view)
  1. Switch to driver's seat via Action menu
  1. Enable Toggle Freelook with 2xAlt (or via Esc > Options > Game > Vehicle freelook)
  1. Try to drive with WASD
Additional Information

The "Aim Up/Down/Left/Right" in Controls > Vehicle movement should not affect player outside of gunner seat/optics.

Looking at the profile in My Documents > Arma 3 Alpha, I believe there's a conflict between:

keyCarAimUp
keyCarAimDown
keyCarAimLeft
keyCarAimRight

and

keyLookUp
keyLookDown
keyLookLeft
keyLookRight
