CM Eye View?

[CptTrips]

Could some bright soul give me some pointers on using the CM Eye view?  I don't remember it being this difficult years ago, but I've burned brain cells since then. 

I can set the key bindings in preferences to zoom in and out and snap to straight down map view, but I don't see how to pan and rotate and tilt.  And the zoom in/out thing start to work weird after several iterations and start doing a rotate thing. 

Yes, I checked the TE Handbook first.    I also searched the board and found references to it and how useful it was, but no info on configuring it.

Thanks in advance.

It does not work in the TE, which is why is might not be covered.

In-game, you need a button for forward and another for back.
Find CM Eye under Map Controller - double hit your button - radio button View - select CM Eye forward or back.

Throttle adjust speed, joystick and rudders are the same as flying.

Joystick works with mapped move map key if you haven't figured it out.

Edit: In-game = Offline arena.

Thanks.  I'll give that another try.  I had gone that direction but it seem right. Maybe I didn't want to screw up my normal game mappings and didn't see a way of creating a whole new mode.  I'll try it again when I get home.

Also, in case I wasn't clear, I wasn't suggesting it SHOULD have been in TE Handbook.  I just went and checked there before posting in case it had a section covering it because it is such a useful tool for terrain developers.

I didn't want to post a dumb question and have someone yell RTFM!

How do you control the altitude in the "Move Map" mode?

[Easyscor]

As you are looking down, use your optionally programed CMEye back key or button.
