Hello. In solar system map, you can not look directly from the top, you get slightly near the top view but not exaclty there.
  • Please make us able to turn camera 360deg freely in every axis.
  • If you can, please make the camera snap to 0, 90, 180, 270, 360(0) degrees of pitch/yaw angles while rotating. It will help many of us greatly while scanning.
  • Instead of the second one, you could also put down some buttons in the map called "top view" "left view" "front view" and when we click those buttons, the camera snaps to assigned view angle (this is better then the second suggestion, since people will get mad if they try to look from 93 pitch axis but it keeps snapping back to 90)

  • the 360 degree pitch can be problematic, yes. Lets say at "top view" the pitch is 0. at minus pitch level, the view will get awkward because you will start seeing things upside down. to fix this this can be used:
    Quote:

    if pitch<0 then
    roll = 180
    else
    roll = 0
    end
