Freelancer Mode: Third/3rd Person/External View
+ optional over the shoulder view

Changes the external view (F2) to somewhat mimic the feel of the 2003 game Freelancer.
I have also included an over the shoulder view.

Currently two files: (use only one)

Freelancer Mode - Center View (Fluid ship movement)
Freelancer Mode - Shoulder View (Rigid ship movement)

(LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS DEMAND FOR ANY OTHER CAMERA PLACEMENT OR SHIP MOVEMENT)
Many things about the camera and how the ship feels can be adjusted. All movements in all directions including how far away from the camera the ship moves while boosting.

Installation:
Extract the file to your X4 installation folder: X4 Foundations\extensions
or use a mod manager like Vortex.

Note:
I recommend setting Glow Quality to off in the graphics settings, otherwise the engine light will be blinding:

I am using the flat UI mod in my screenshots (Except in the before and after photo, that is original UI):

ABOUT FREELANCER:

Lord'Cyber here saying hi from 2003.

The game is abandonware now and completely free, and an awesome HD rework mod has been released that also updates the game for modern resolutions.
Servers are also online, if you're lucky you'll run into another player. If you're really lucky you'll run into two.
