Steps To Reproduce

Connect to a UAV that allows freelook in ViewPilot or has turret.
Bend your soldier up/down
Take UAV controls/turret controls.
Look into a certain direction(HPB).
Disconnect from UAV while still holding down the Alt-Key.
Experience weird incorrect head angles (tilting, gimbaling).

Additional Information

This is a very, very minor issue, though it still is an issue.
edit:
As reproducing the issue, it came out, that the strength of the effect is varying. Couldn't reproduce consistent behaviour.
However, the example video provided shows a slight tilting. I recently experienced this effect much stronger. Will upload another video if I am able to reproduce the issue with maximum effect.

edit#2: It turned out that the view angle after releasing UAV controls is strongly related to the initial view angle of the player. See 2nd video attached. If one starts walking, angles will be reset (not fully on releasing Alt-Key).

edit#3: Attached mission & another video.

ViewPilot Settings in config.cpp:

		class ViewPilot : ViewPilot 
		{
			initFov = 1.1;
			minFov = 0.6;
			maxFov = 1.7;
			minAngleX = -75;
			maxAngleX = 15;
			minAngleY = -140;
			maxAngleY = 140;
		};

Hello,

could you please upload a short video displaying the problem? It would help us a lot.

Thank you very much.

Video added & additional information updated.

Additional video attached with effect clearly visible.

Thank you for the video. The rpoblem is from it, however, I am not able to reproduce it. Would it be possible to upload a simple repro mission and provide extact repro steps? It would help us a lot.

Thank you very much.

Updated Steps to reproduce should be a bit more clear now, hopefully. :)
Another video with the darter added.

Thank you for the repro mission/video/steps, I was able to reproduce it. Our team will look into it.

Have a nice day.

Actually, this not limited to UAVs. I was able to reproduce this with a helicopter.
