buzzbuzz20xx Sorry for any confusion, any rotation I put on the camera other than rotating the player itself or rotating it in the player scene does nothing. I have it rotated 90 degrees in the player scene because the car has its forward velocity applied on the X axis but, I want the car to have the orientation shown on the left, meaning the camera need to be rotated 90 degrees. I followed a tutorial for the car physics, and I've tried changing the force to be applied on the Y axis, but I didn't have any luck, so I just went with the camera rotation option. Here all the code from the tutorial along with a link to it if you think changing that would be easier, though when I tried it wasn't as easy as changing some .Xs to .Ys. https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/4.x/2d/car_steering/index.html
