Add separate freelook option for air vehicles
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Title says it all.

With time, it's getting a bit annoying having to press Alt or Numpad* every time I get in a car if freelook is off, or if it's on, having to turn it off every time I get in a helicopter.

I've seen different issues related to this, but none of them are clearly explicit about it.

Voted up;

It was only today I found the option to activate freelook in vehicles, which is great because I NEVER use the mouse to steer ground vehicles. Instead I'm always freelooking with Alt to better understand my surroundings.

However, the same is not true for air vehicles, where the mouse plays a key role in fine tuning movement and aiming. I'd prefer to use Alt in this case, to freelook when it's safe to do so.

A trivial change maybe, but would be very much appreciated to make the best use of freelook when in all vehicles. After all, freelook makes ArmA!
