How do I make a spring arm follow a velocity not a rotation

Have a look at this approach, it’s based on the advanced vehicle template:

we check if all wheels are in the air
if they are, we check how fast the car is spinning
if it’s spinning fast enough, we switch the spring arm’s rotation from Relative (default) to Absolute
in absolute, the rotation is not affected by the parent’s rotation
when springarm rotation is absolute, the rotation follows velocity
when springarm rotation is relative (car is on the ground), it follows the parent
and you get to set the angle

You will, most likely, need to check another state - when the car is flipped on the roof. The template tracks that variable already and it’s called LowFriction - it’s used to modify physical material properties but can also be used to control camera behaviour.
