I'm pretty sure it's b/c the camera controls are hardcoded to the right/left arrow keys. For testing purposes, have you tried changing the left/right controls to different keys to see if it still occurs?
Also remove the binds for those specific functions in the controller area. I know before, some have experienced the controller settings interfering with certain functions.
- @xxxC🤭lBr33zExxx That makes little to no sense though - why would it work correctly with some vehicles and not with others if it's hardcoded, anyway, why hardcode camera controls to keys that many players use for vehicle movement? If they HAVE done that, that's definite grounds for divorce, aka a full refund because to me, the game will always be unplayable.

@EA_AticHi again, I used the arrow keys, I can't play properly when using WSAD, nor will I compromise my style just because some numbskull decided to hardcode camera movements to arrow keys without telling us (assuming @xxxC🤭lBr33zExxx is correct about the hardcoded keys).

@Huffen_74 When you clear these 4 key bindings does the same thing happen?

Well, well, well. Hashtag: #EpicFail.
I set it up JUST as you had it in the screenshot, I even changed to WSAD just to be sure. I got into a game, FINALLY got a hold of a Hovercraft,. leapt in,.. pressed W to go forward,. NOTHING. Pressed S to reverse, nothing. Very confusing.
So, I decided to attempt to use the arrow keys, which, despite having them REMOVED in the key-binds, were active. Up = forward. Down = reverse. Left = left turn AND left camera movement. Right = right turn AND right camera movement.
That is, as far as I'm concerned, a massive fail.
Your game really doesn't inspire much confidence.

Hi again @EA_Atic A screenshot of my settings for vehicle controls? How many pages do you want me to screenshot? DICE have made the controls so complicated. *sigh*. Give me a while, I'll see what I can grab for you. Thanks. 😉
Why is there 'Move', when 'Accelerate' was just fine before,..? It makes no sense. Move what? Move forward? Why would you move AND accelerate with two separate keys at the same time? Crazy idea. it worked JUST fine before in pervious games, there was absolutely no need to change it. "If it aint broke', don't fix it!".
So now, it's added an extra layer (one of many, I hasten to add) of complexity that has ruined the smooth gameplay from previous games and introduced headaches for gamers (such as camera movement woes and hard-coding actions into keys when there was no need to (assuming that's true)) and coders alike.
Not everyone plays with WSAD, I don't, never had, never will and won't be forced to by a massive game production company.
I use arrows in my gaming style, I shouldn't have to change because some numbskull decides on changes that really aren't necessary.
One word I can think for this decision to add complexity where it wasn't needed OR wanted: Idiotic.
Just got this game and my how glad I am I got it free with ssd as this movement issue on some vehicles is a joke, makes me feel sick with the panning camera when turning, did they let the office clown play with the control schemes as what a mess it is. Take it no one has found a fix for this issue yet then.
