Reduce "Hit Box" For Free Camera

[CMDR Exorcist]

Since the Q4 update, the camera "hit box" is further away from the surface of planets and POIs, which causes the camera to go blurry (or black) much further away from these surfaces than before. Please allow the camera to get closer to the planet surface before going blurry or get rid of the blur altogether! This would be a big help for content creators.

I'm not entirely sure why the camera just doesn't stop when it hits something instead of going blurry and clipping.. lol

Agreed it's hard to get close-ups to my ship as well.

It does appear to be restricted more so than before which I thought may have been some kind of bug rather than something intended. It would also be good to increase the distance restriction which tends to appear on things such as planetary bases.

Yeah, the hit boxes are enormous. Should be able to get closer to things without resorting to zoom. Even zoom isn't close enough.

I like using my camera as a poor man's "space legs", so definitely allow me to "walk" on any surface, including on and under the surfaces of my own ship. I should be able to feel like I'm standing on the outside deck of my Anaconda using the camera.

I'd also like to see the free-form (floating) camera option available INSIDE ships, at least our cockpits. Give us 2D players the same feature VR players have had for years.
