Keyboard binds for vehicle driver not working

Hello,

I'm a left hand PC gamer (mouse in left hand, right hand on arrow keys, old school...)

I uses the arrow keys for forward, back, turn left, turn right (not w,a,s,d).

When I try to rebind the vehicle driver keybinds, to anything like number 7 and 8, it will not register.

When I bind it to left and right arrow keys it turns the camera (way too much) and the vehicle.

If you change the camera mode in the vehicle it works correctly, but I don't like to drive around like that. I tried to attach a link of a video of my issue but its marks my post as spam...

    He wants to play by arrows!!! 

    Make a fix, that unbind vehicle camera control from keyboard arrows to stop suffering left handed people (and old school arrows players)! What "overmind"  hard coded arrows to vehicle camera???

    @iVasia relax and no need to be rude. Atic understands what the OP wants and is trying to help. He is a Community Manager not a Dev so demanding him to "Make a fix" is a bit rude. I'm sure the key bind issue has already been reported.

    @EA_Atic Yes, I remapped and unbound the arrow keys from freelook. I'll show you in the video I will attach but I'm still having the same issue. Something I noticed just now making the videos, it happens with Transport Driver, not Vehicle Driver. Videos attached to show what I mean. Thanks for your reply.

    Transport Driver

    @EA_Atic Hello, Do you know if this information is passed to the DEVs to fix? I'm still having this same issue. Thanks.

    Same issue,. Nothing works and I've tried ever single combination. The only way to get it to work is to bind like you used to, with the arrow keys and NOT use the 3rd person view. You can only use first person view.  Which is a huge disadvantage since you have no situational awareness. In reality, it is too much of a hindrance so I only drive the vehicle with the default keys (WSAD). Quite annoyed at the devs since this is the first time in 20 years I've had this issue in any game.
