Disable camera collisions in FS 22

[chedly_farms]

Disable camera should be base game

Have you bit the bullet and ordered 22 as if I remember correctly you were on the fence as wether or not you were going to?

I’m on vacation. When I get home, I’ll download it to my Xbox.

I don't even remember playing fs without it ha. I just want it ha.

It is not on the modhub but one is available now seems to work ok.

It should be default ingame as on or off. Landscaping with collision is so awful

If your on PC, you can easily use the FS19 disable camera collisions mod.
I did the following and it works fine.
Open the mod zip file with the compression software of your choice,
Edit the Modesc file and change the version from 43 to 61 Save it.
Put the mod in your mods folder. (rename it if you wish)
In the Gamesettings.xml file in you documents folder, find the line that says <cameraCheckCollision>true</cameraCheckCollision> and change it to be <cameraCheckCollision>false</cameraCheckCollision>

That worked for me and the mod seems to run fine. I have had 20 hours use out of it so far and it has not caused any issues.
As always, back up your files and take care when changing files etc etc.
I prefered to use the FS19 mod, as it was done by Giants.

And that for me is the biggest frustration if they don't want for whatever reason to put it in the game then make it a day one mod

I agree. It should have been a day one mod. Maybe it will still come, Giants hopefully are busy fixing bugs, so I can live with my workaround for the moment. I did think that just by setting the gamesetting xml to false, it would act as a collision free camera, but it seem you need to mod as well, even thought the mod is nothing more than a modesc file.

There is one out there for Fs22 it's not perfect but it works well enough until the official version comes out

[farmer_fred]

was easily one of the best features in 17 and 19, so why is it not here,
and why does it need to be a mod, why can't it be a toggle in games options?

I'm using that one but the Giants one should have been the first mod they released, I can only think that it is being held back because of the issues the game has with script mods currently.

[Dairydeere]

I heard that Giants has not released it because they have not found a way to implement and script it correctly to fit how they want it to work.

[norfolk farmer]

Apart from the issue when exiting the game which appears to be with all script mods I have had no issues and it is working well for me. So if that is the problem they are having then that does not bode well going forward with script mods. If it is not then I can't see why the way this one works could not be implemented unless it's a console thing. It is still beyond me how this was not built into the game as they must realise people want it or they would not have made the mod previously.

[farmer_bell]

I wonder if the lack of the disable camera mod has anything to do with the Occlusion Culling that is now in the game.
Ive noticed that sometimes, if the camera view is blocked by a building, but the player can still see though the building, then all the items are gone.
Its a fairly rare thing to happen, but perhaps this is the reason Giants have not implemented it.
For example, if you use one of the default Easy sheds and park some equipment in the shed, then move the camera so you are half in and out of the back wall, you can make everything in the shed disappear.

[TheSuBBie]

The one I use is one created by Heady [PLANET-LS.de] way back when (2010) and seems to work faultlessly with no major errors in the log (only raw.png and no mipmaps on store icon).

All I have done is change the modDesc version to <modDesc descVersion="62"> and title to FS22_noCollisionCamera

Fun fact:

Disabling camera collision when you are driving vehicles are actually in the game.
The GUI option is hidden and is only displayed if you have a mod with the name 'FS22_disableVehicleCameraCollision'.
It doesn't have to contain anything else than a valid modDesc.xml. As long as it has the correct name and loads up in game you are all set!

I'm suprised this thread hasn't been going through pages at this stage since how many people have been asking for this from the get go. Surely giants have come up with a plan now to disable camera collisions.

Only reason I revived this topic is because the current 3 maps I'm on I want to build production plants and vineyards near the borders and I can't without losing a fare amount of space in between the border and where it will allow me in build mode.
