    Camera Direction and Vehicles

    As I found out earlier (Position Offset in Vehicles) the camera direction tends to rotate with the vehicle I'm currently in. However, the camera direction remains untouched in certain vehicles such as the demolisher. At first I thought it had something to do with UnitControllingVehicle but it turns out that I can be a passanger also and the camera direction is unmodified. So my question, does anyone know under what circumstances the camera direction rotates with the angle of the entity I'm currently riding?

    Alright, after some messing around I think I figured it out. Vehicles which do not invoke a camera rotation are Player Controlled. Vehicles which do invoke a camera rotation are not Player Controlled. To figure out whether a vehicle is Player controlled just look at the Flags1 offset with the flag 0x8. Below are some samples I took of vehicles in order to come to this conclusion. Obviously I'm not 100% sure of this but it seems to work. Keep in mind this is only true for NPC vehicles. I have not come across any player controlled objects, so Players and Objects always invoke a camera rotation.

    Code:
    Camera Rotates
    ==============
    
    Darkmoon Carousel
    FlagsD = 00000000
    Flags1 = 00000000
    Flags2 = 04000800
    
    Darkmoon Tiger Swing
    FlagsD = 00000000
    Flags1 = 00000000
    Flags2 = 04000800
    
    
    
    No Rotation
    ==============
    
    Redridge Demolisher
    FlagsD = 00000000
    Flags1 = 01000008
    Flags2 = 00400800
    
    Kun-Lai Daily
    FlagsD = 00000000
    Flags1 = 01008008
    Flags2 = 00000800
    
    IoC Demolisher
    FlagsD = 00000000
    Flags1 = 01004008
    Flags2 = 00400800
    
    IoC Demolisher (passenger)
    FlagsD = 00000008
    Flags1 = 01004008
    Flags2 = 40000000
    Tested current *fix* with above as well as Oculus Dragons and the Crashin' Thrashin' Flyer. The Uldum daily does not work but I think that place has bigger problems which are not worth looking into. Additionally, another potential candidate is 0x01000000 which means "Possessed" but "Player Controlled" makes more sense.
