📋 About This Mod

For those seeking the same feature: Maybe you're using B42 inertia  and ignore configuration of it like I did. In contrast, this mod is more like an inexperienced attempt ,and B42 inertia has a more skilled inertia pattern ,so try using B42 inertia and tweak its configuration.

For this mod ,maybe I'll keep trying to improve.

Install:

To get all requirement and use your preferred mod manager (I recommend MO2).

Features:

The inertia will apply to weapon when you move  camera.

When the weapon is fired or the weapon use a scope, the aligning speed can be different and all Customizable with ini.

They are different from locomotion(animation) and they can work with locomotion.

Compatibility:

It's all script work and doesn’t edit any vanilla records, so it should not have any problem with most other mods.

It can work with B42 inertia and they work well together

I don't have a lot of time to test further. Report to me if you find any bugs.

Custom:

There is a ini file in config folder. Give it a check.

Recommendation
