Not at the moment. You can change the angle of the camera by hitting the number buttons, and + and - zoom. Does the logitech mx1000 laser have programmable buttons?

yes it has programable buttons, mouse wheel works, middle mouse works in MOST games, but the few game it didnt work in i was able to simply keybind a alternative to one of the mouses many buttons, so up untill now i had no problem with it, but this game is one those game, but has no keybind alternative sadly, or i could just program mouse for the game

Having an option to "chord" the third mouse button would be great. I've got a two button trackball, and a fancy 4-button trackball with scroll at work. The 4 button trackball rocks. The 2-button really detracts from the experience--especially when designing ships. In linux, they get around the two-button problem by assigned a virtual 3rd button when both buttons are pressed simultaneously. I'd love to see this feature.

In the absence of that feature, are there keyboard controls for all these things? I've only found the controls for zoom in/out so far.

I have a Cordless Optical Logitech Mouse, and I can't use the middle mouse button to rotate either, but zooming works fine. The buttons are all set on default settings, which I read should work, but it doesn't. Frogboy didn't have any ideas

yea its a little fustrating, its clearly a problem with logitech mice, but logitech are not doing anything about it so it seem, i wont knock them tho, they are GOOD mice, and i always found a work around to the relitivly minor problem, if gal civ 2 can add a key the fuctions like middle mouse however, or just more camera control via keyboard, then that too will cure my problem with this game
