Save Custom Camera Causes Camera Issues/CTD

Description of the issue:

Freelook and cockpit camera works well using custom key bindings until CTRL + ALT + [number] is used to save camera locations. After this combination is used to save location, SHIFT + [number] is used to return to that location. After this is done, or after a location is saved, the camera translates using the translate key binding nearly endlessly and will not stop. Camera becomes uncontrollable, performance (FPS) is severely degraded, and when attempting to exit, a CTD occurs.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
A330RR/GE, B787, and others

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

Mouse. Breaks all cameras on all aircraft and has caused a CTD every time since. Uninstalling and re-installing again…

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Partly

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I do not get any CTD or control issues or FPS drops. However the custom camera does NOT behave as expected. The custom cameras do not seem to be on a per aircraft basis but seem to be global. Whichever aircraft first sets a custom camera seems to “own” that camera and no other aircraft can change it. Once the camera has been set in one aircraft it can be used in others yielding some “interesting” viewpoints, it just can’t be changed in other aircraft - just the original aircraft can change it.

Note that I only tried setting custom cameras in the C172 and B787.

Edit: It appears as though the issue of one aircraft “owning” a custom camera is not wholly broken. The custom cameras DO seem to be unique to each aircraft but only after restarting the sim. Whichever aircraft changes a custom camera during a session “owns” that camera for the duration of the session and all aircraft will use the first aircraft camera until the sim is restarted. After the sim is restarted all aircraft seem to remember their correct custom cameras.

For me this is not a show stopper as I tend to set my cameras up once and then seldom change them. It IS a major PITA thought to have to restart the sim for each aircraft.

I THINK I’ve solved the issue by going to settings, selecting the mouse and then changing the preset on the left to Mouse 2024 Transversal.
