When you said first person camera, do you mean the cameraman's mode (when you use tab)? The rotating around a sims only works in the regular gameplay camera mode and not when using the cameraman's mode. And I don't use gunmod's camera hack.
Thank you for your reply- yes, cameraman mode is precisely what I meant (i've seen it called both.) Now that I think of it, I don't recall ever having tried the rotation move before installing the mod. This may be a stupid question (fair warning), but is the UI -user interface, in gameplay mode- not recorded when using the video camera? I've never tried recording with it up, but I have made the mistake of having it up when taking snapshots in game.
Thanks again.
