I mean left hand on<br />keys: A,W,D,S (strafe left, move forward, strafe right, move backwards) and right hand on a mouse adjusting the direction of the move?jan.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958951343160117764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670147978400975944.post-45659691243997542522006-10-19T06:33:00.000-07:002006-10-19T06:33:00.000-07:00Of course if you want the 3D effect (which has a g...Of course if you want the 3D effect (which has a great WOW factor, you must have Terrain enabled and set the height exageration (under Options) to something reasonable (1.5 - 3?).

If you are already looking in perspective view, but want to rotate the view to look from a different compass angle, you can click on the round ring to rotate, but I find if you simply move around the ring the motion will not be smooth. What I do is to put the mouse on the 'rotation' ring, but then drag the mouse directly away from the ring without rotating it. Then, when you do rotate the view with your mouse, the motion will be easier to control and more smooth. Does that make sense?<br /><br />Sorry I was not clear before.skyview5https://www.blogger.com/profile/09183133366021884977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670147978400975944.post-41510886134226425712006-10-18T10:44:00.000-07:002006-10-18T10:44:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tip.

I have corrected this by clicking on the wheel but then dragging the mouse away from the wheel before rotating. This makes the rotation much smoother.skyview5https://www.blogger.com/profile/09183133366021884977noreply@blogger.com
