Ground Stabilization stops when UAV control is released
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

The addition of the UAV ground stabilize and AV feed is a great thing, but combined they are not very useful:
When the UAV's camera is pointed at a spot on the ground, it stabilized, which is great. However, once the control is released, the camera no longer is stabilized, even when autonomous mode is turned off. The camera just looks at the angle it was at when the control was released.
Upon taking control of the UAV again, the camera snaps back to the original point of stabilization.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open editor, place a UAV operator (player), and an MQ4A Greyhawk
  2. Preview the mission and order the greyhawk to take off
  3. Place a waypoint for the greyhawk over a point of interest, with the following parameters:
    • Loiter
      • Range 1200m
    • Altitude 500m
  4. Turn autonomous mode OFF
  5. Turn on the AV camera feed
  6. Assume control of the UAV's gunner
  7. Place the crosshairs on the desired point of interest
  8. Release the UAV control
  9. Note that the camera will be locked to the angle it was at when the UAV was left, and not track the ground.

[10. - If Autonomous mode is left on, the camera will simply return to the stowed (facing straight forward) position.]
