Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

------------------------------------

Then you select these views from the in flight menu (I believe you bring the menu up using the right mouse button) or just push "S" until you get the the view type you want, then push "A" to cycle through the different views in the category.

The "Ctrl", "Shift", "Enter", "and "Backspace" keys are used to move the camera.
Such as....."Shift" + "Enter" moves the camera up

Thanks Chuck.

I've always wonder how to create views - I guess it's a lot less complicated then I thought.

Love them all!!! Shocked

Thank for the camera definitions. I just mapped the camera move functions to my Throttle hat switch and buttons so I can make my own views on the fly (no pun intended). Those settings will definitely help though!
