Controlling camera

[docmartin]

I am having some difficulty in controlling the camera movement in v8.005w. The camera moves around very wildly and it is difficult to get it to focus on any particular object. This is even though I am using the same settings that I have for v8.005r, where the camera movement is much better controlled.

Whilst I realize that the effect of the settings for mouse speed and camera speed may depend to some extent on the hardware in use, I am curious as to what settings for these parameters others have found to be acceptable.

I would be grateful for any replies.

Try setting viewTRLabels = false

If this is within the Chiltern, your route is pushing the upper limits of how many items should be on a tile and also the size of the TDB...

I am still having the same trouble in the camera moving around wildly in the latest version w, even though TRLabels is set to false. I accept that the route is pushing the envelope in some respects but I do not have the same issue when using version r, which for the time being is my preferred version.

I originally posted to see what mouse and camera settings other users found optimal but no one has replied to this query.

@ docmartin, sorry for the late reply!

mouseSpeed = 0.1
cameraSpeedMax = 40 // Camera movement with SHIFT
cameraSpeedMin = 3 // Camera movement with CTRL
cameraSpeedStd = 0.1 // Camera movement normal

Many thanks for your response, Jan. I had both mouse speed and cameraSpeedStd set to 1.0. Changing both settings to your 0.1 seems to have fixed my problem.

Thanks for your help.
