Camera control

[EvelynThe Dragon]

Unless I am missing something, it looks like the KSP1 camera control mechanism where you could right-click a part, even on another craft, and focus the camera on it is not part of KSP2.

This is a very bad omission.  We really need that functionality in the game, it was essential for me in KSP1, it allowed me to select a docking port as a target on another ship for one thing, making it easier to do a docking maneuver using the Nav-ball markers.

PLEASE bring this back.

As @Vanamonde said here, if you middle-mouse click on a part, it will focus the camera on that part, and the center of that part will become the camera's pivot point

That is utterly unintuitive, and where is this documented? Do you know?

It might be in the control settings but, agreed, it isn't made obvious; I only know it from word-of-mouth, too.

I thought that was only in the VAB?

Good call; I didn't realize we weren't talking about the VAB. In-flight, idk of a way to focus the camera not on the center of mass

I agree, it'd be good

IMO the KSP1 camera is just superior to the one for KSP2.  Tbh, they should just make it match the KSP1 camera.
