📋 About This Mod
Improves cаmera handling with controller and mouse. Adds separate fov settings for the 1st and 3rd person. Adds options to the in-game settings menu: zoom speed, zoom sensitivity scale, controller deadzone etc.
=== Readme ===
This plugin for Fallout 3 fixes an issue with controller camera rotation where the camera made jittery rotation steps during small movements at high sensitivity values, and replaces default ADS sensitivity calculations with a modern method for consistent 1:1 mouse feel.

=== Installation ===
Install: Unpack the ZIP file into your Fallout 3 folder. A better_camera_for_controller.ini file with all settings will be created after the first launch.
Uninstall: Remove Data/fose/plugins/better_camera_for_controller.dll from your Fallout 3 folder.
Also ensure fXenonVertLookSpeed is set to 1200. 0 and fXenonHorizLookSpeed is set to 1500. 0 in FalloutPrefs.ini (or simply delete these lines from the ini)
Update: If you're updating from an older version, you can start the game once and new settings will appear in the mod ini file. Or just delete better_camera_for_controller.ini before updating to reset to mod defaults (Recommended)
