rotating the geoscape
« on: May 15, 2008, 07:08:49 am »
Hi

I've got the geoscape in 3d mode, which is great.
But i cant figure out how to rotate the globe using the keyboard. 

I can rotate it left, right, up and down with the buttons, but this is awkward

Is there preset keys or some way of setting keys to be able to do the same thing?

Thanks

Steve

hehe, i wish i knew this earlier too, it makes 3d geoscape really worth it.
Simply RT CLICK and drag to rotate.

i am at work now, so i cannot fire up the game to check. However, this

looks like there is a slim chance the arrows on the numeric keypad might work.

(I use RMB drag myself).

Thanks Everyone for replying.

I was able to do it with the right mouse click and it works really well.  Thanks for the info.
Makes the 3d geoscape fantastic.
