📋 About This Mod
UPDATE: I've included a CCR (Console Command Runner) version for those of you who would rather use that instead of a bat file.
-Requirements
Console Command Runner
SFSE (Starfield Script Extender)
To install the CCR version simply drop the .tmol file into your "Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins\ConsoleCommandRunner" directory. It's still entirely configurable with any .txt editor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bat File Installation:
1. Extract this .txt file into your Starfield game directory (Example: "D:\Games\STEAM\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starfield")
2. Go to your StarfieldCustom.ini in "C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games\Starfield" (if you don't have one then create one) and add:
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat FlightCamera
OR
";bat FlightCamera" to the end of your pre-existing line under
3. Make sure your StarfieldCustom.ini contains this as well:
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
Step 4 is now included in the .txt file.
4. For the vanity camera distance (idle camera), SetGS doesn't seem to work so put this line into your StarfieldCustom.ini as well:
fDefaultShipAutoVanityZoomScale=4. 5000
OR use this command via the console
setini "fDefaultShipAutoVanityZoomScale:Camera" 1. 500 //change this default value to the level of zoom you prefer
I adjusted the Y axis of the camera to keep larger ships on screen while turning with the new camera speed adjustments for acceleration, if the camera is too far from the ship for your liking you can decrease this value in the .txt file:
SetGS "fFlightCameraOffsetBaseY:FlightCamera" -75. 000
//default=-5. 780
These are all of the settings within the .txt file for reference if you'd like to make further adjustments before dropping it in your Starfield game folder:
SetGS "fFlightCameraFOV:FlightCamera" 90. 000 -FoV, self explanatory
//default=90
SetGS "fFlightCameraOffsetBaseY:FlightCamera" -75. 000 -How far the camera will be from your ship
//default=-5. 780
SetGS "fFlightCameraOffsetBaseZ:FlightCamera" 9. 110 -How far down the screen your ship will appear
//default=5. 110
SetGS "fFlightCameraSpeedOffsetMinX:FlightCamera" -1. 500 -Additional leeway for -x axis camera movement based on speed (pushes camera left)
Better 3rd Person Flight Camera pulls the third-person camera further back from your ship, preventing the view from clipping into the hull. Ideal for pilots of larger ships who want a clearer view. Supports CCR, with 1,065 endorsements and 28,069 downloads, last updated in September 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,065 endorsements and 28,069 downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance for large ship pilots—no more nose-in-the-hull view.
- Lightweight UI tweak that doesn't mess with gameplay mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2023—may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects third-person camera; if you prefer first-person, this mod does nothing for you.
For pilots who fly large ships and want a cleaner third-person view without the camera clipping into the hull. Perfect for players who rely on third-person for maneuvering. Skip if you stick to first-person or fly small ships where the default camera is fine.
