Free Camera in Fleet Battle Viewer?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey there!

I don't know anything about 3d graphics, but is it possible to have a free range camera in the fleet battle viewer? The way the camera button follows ships and the way they zing around its hard to get an overall sense of the battle. I know the overhead cam would provide that, but that just isn't cinematic enough for me.

I crave the ability to drop a camera, zoom in and out and watch a battle several times from different viewpoints.

Not sure if this ability is already there, or if I am asking for the moon here.

there is already a free cam option. If you click on the button to the left of the "done" button in the lower-right corner, it'll jump through all the options.
the free cam is controlled the same way as moving around the main map--left click and drag, mouse wheel in and out, hold down third-button to rotate, etc.

Are you guys getting the same freedom of movement with the free cam in the combat viewer as you are on the main map?

It's totally different for me. The main screen moves free and easy, but I find moving the free cam in the combat viewer much more difficult. If it worked as well as the main cam, I'd use the free cam almost exclusively. Instead, I almost never use it since I find it so cumbersome.
