Inside reverse cam reset to forward too quick. (at 5km/h).

Dear Stefan, can you make the reset when the v = 0 AND user presses forward? I find it really hard to hitch anything when I was backing up slower than 5 before I press Q. Thanks :) It was great in fs17 :(
I saw that in vehicle with PowerShift (16 - N - -9) gearbox, camera is switching to back view almost immediately when you put your vehicle on reverse. But when you have vehicle with CVT gearbox (D - N - R), you need speed up to 5 km/h in reverse for camera to turn. Can you make the change, that with CVT gearboxes camera would react the same way as with PowerShift gearboxes?
Hi,
I tried to understand what the different might be. I guess that point is that the camera will only turn direction if you are slow enough. You can already change directions while you are still rolling with decent speed into the other direction. But reverse gear is only engaged after breaking, not at full speed.
Regards, Stefan
When in CVT and I want to look backwards, I have to hold S, which makes sense. The problem arise when I release S, when speed less than 5, the camera suddenly switches back to forward. Can you make the camera only look forward when I press W AND forward speed > 0? It's very disorientating when I am 100% working on the implement when there's no need to look forward at all. I am using the W to "slow down the S", not to look forward.
(this needs more explanation, I am pressing W between a reverse speed of 1 and 5, sometimes we need to back up at 3 and keep looking backwards when you release S at 3, then it auto slow to 2, and 1, even 0, that whole deceleration should only look backwards. Because I am working something in the back. But VCA switches my camera to forward at this speed and "forces me" to press S again, which accelerate the vehicle to 5+, which is super not ideal as you end up crashing into your trailer, or over plow the edge, etc.)
Barterbly described it exactly. To see the difference, drive a power shift tractor with VCA and WASD, now drive a CVT, you'll see. Thank you very much sir. If you need more reference, the correct behaviour was in the VCA in FS17.

I think that there must be a dependency on the vehicle speed (or something else) with different gearboxes. I play with XBox controller - if I reverse slowly (below 5 km/h) camera is not switching to reverse mode. But if you accellerate > 5km/h, then it switches. Of course I'm talking about CVT. With PowerShift gearboxes camera is switching immediately after direction is changed (even if you don't move a cm, but just change direction) - and this is a good behaviour. If you want, I can record a short video showing this behaviour - just let me know if you want one! :) This mod is superb and we would like to help improving it as much as we can :)
Ps. Just to clarify, I'm using this mod on FS22
With our without shuttle control?
I don't even know, what that is, so probably without it :D
In case of a normal transmission vanilla game has to select the reverse gear. And when the reverse gear is selected, then VCA switches the camera to reverse.
If shuttle control is off (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McQrzbVUa6s), then at very low speed VCA is not sure about the direction. It changes constantly with a speed below 1 km(h or 1 mph. That is why VCA waits until you are little faster.
