Permanently Stuck in Freelook
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Cannot disable freelook to fly helicopters using the mouse in either 3rd person or 1st person view. Mouse movement behaves as if I am holding down the ALT key. Tried double tapping left ALT as well as the * NUM PAD keys to toggle it off but that does nothing to affect it even though in my Configure-Controls menus 2xLeftALT and *(NUM) are both configured to toggle it. I've tried reconfiguring my controls and resetting them back to default using the PRESET button then choosing ARMA 3 from the popup menu but nothing I do turns it off.

Steps To Reproduce

I have no idea why or how it got set to permanently be on so I cannot state how to reproduce the bug. Once it starts happening there is no way to not reproduce it...it simply is always on freelook mode and there is no way in heaven to turn the damn thing off. It used to work as expected/configured, now suddenly one day it is locked in the ON position forever. I am running with no mods enabled at all...complete vanilla ARMA3. The only thing I can possibly relate it to is the recent boot camp update which is the only thing that has changed in my ARMA3 configuration since last time I tried to fly a helicopter...however I cannot verify that update is the cause.

Additional Information

Happens in all missions, in single as well as multiplayer, in 1st and 3rd person views, whether hosting or playing somebody else's server, and even if I start using the editor's preview option. I have no joystick or any other control device attached to my PC...only a standard mouse and a standard keyboard. I am not using Track IR or any other type of head movement tracking device. I don't even have a webcam on my PC.

You can close this ticket. I found out that there is an option in the Config->Game menu that causes this. I had it enabled. Sorry.
