Problems & possible solutions for the new lean heading mode (rider lean link)

[Vini]

First of all, thanks for the new feature PiBoSo!
This new lean heading mode has great potential for people without headtracking equipment but it needs some additional filtering between the rider lean and the view to be properly usable.


1 Even though I have the rider movement smoothed 100% the view is still extremely jagged when moving the rider, so there needs to be additional smoothing.
2 There needs to be a deadzone (and possibly a linearity) slider so that you can move the rider out a bit under braking without having the view move immediately as well because this completely destroys your turn-in timing and consequently your line through the corner.

My suggestion
Instead of linking lean heading to the actual L/R rider lean, it should be linked to the L/R rider lean input with a completely seperate set of filtering adjustments (smooth, deadzone, linearity, gain).
This way you can properly finetune both the view and the rider movements while still having it linked to the same input and thus feel natural.

To link "Lean Heading" to the rider lean instead of the bike lean.
