We can rotate the camera around its own axis?

[Kerba Fett]

All the time I've been playing this game I was under the impression that we could only orbit the camera around our current ship using the RMB. Since the camera always points at the COM it can be kind of a bother.

Then this weekend I discover that the middle mouse button lets you rotate the camera around its axis while in flight.

Am I the last person here to find out about this?

Yes, you are.

Nope, I could never find that control, thanks for letting me know.

or well i guess regex is the last your second last kerba fett well done tehe:D

Will there ever be a completely free camera movement? Chase, orbital and free all have an axis. I'd like a mode that allows complete rotation.

I had no idea until I read this. Thanks!

No, you're not!

I don't like when the "middle mouse button" is used for anything because whenever I press it I move the wheel too and that has often some undesirable side effects.

Good to know about it anyway, thanks.

I don't even have a MMB I hate when games have that as something. I can't play whack a kerbal either because there isn't a option for the button in the controls I can see.

Nope. Pretty sure that's me now. But thank you.

What do you have against kerbals? They're our friends, we shouldn't be harming them by using the debug/cheat menu. We should be harming them by crashing them into the ground because we forgot to add parachutes, or blowing them up because we didn't throttle down when the engines started to overheat, or well nevermind.

I guess I'm currently the last to know about this thing with camera view. Anyone else?

Count me as the latest last to know... and I've been playing since 0.8-ish!
