That's basically it. I think that PM_Friction (or something like that) also needs to be changed, and that they are tightly coupled. I have to admit that I never really figured out how it was supposed to work. I just ripped that whole section out and did it my way. Actually, I was never able to (objectively) tell the difference between the default behavior and instantanious acceleration, it is pretty close. Messing with the parameters just made the behavior get yucky. If you do anything other than instantainous or the default, you have to be a bit carefull to make sure that the movement is stable. TIme delays and limited velocity and position accuracy can make the view shake if you aren't carefull.
