[REQUEST IMPROVEMET] zigzag movement when you make a fast turn mouse movement, and annoying left lean/tilt issue #80

Hello there!

I'm using last release build, 1.3 proto3
I'm using low sens in the game to make this more precise to aim

  1. I've noticed that mouse movement has a serious zigzag issue when you make a fast mouse movement, making aiming awkward and unhelpful in intense combats.

  2. Also, I've noticed that Descent 3 has a strange issue: when you make a smooth turn to the left 👈 and then stop moving, the ship ends up in a noticeably left-leaning state, I mean, with left tilted perspective relative to the world map.
    Even more weird, if this time you turn the ship to the right 👉, the game will STILL cause the ship to lean noticeably to the left! 😮

If we enable TERRAIN AUTOLEVELING option, it can "mitigate" at some point this problem.
but the problem still is there, you can fell and see it when you play the game.

  1. Left preference/priority mouse movement? Is weird, but seems the game have a "preference" to turn better to the left rather to the right.
  • I mean, when you make a fast turn to the right, the zigzag movement problem are more noticeable
  • Also, when you do a smooth turn to the right, the left lean problem is more noticeable

this similar problem are in many old games, blood 2 the chosen, star wars dark forces 2, aliens vs predator 2, etc.
may this is a vanilla problem in descent 3 too.

I made a short video demonstrating all this behavior in this regard.

video timings
2:16 min zigzag issue
0:13 left lean issue

I hope it helps with future improvements.
I also want to remind you that I left another report suggesting allowing fast mouse movement in this thread:
#40

well Instanity, I hope you're fine.
thnks for all 🗿
