To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Why cant I control the camera angles in the game? Its hard for me to enjoy exploring when I can even see half the tings I'm doing. I can only change between internal, external, and side views, but I cant figure out how to pan the camera myself. I've tried every key and key combination on the keyboard that I can think of, but nothing controls the camera...HELP?

You're playing on a laptop aren't you? By default Pioneer uses the "numpad" of a full length keyboard to move the camera around.

As Vuzz says you can press ESC, or pause twice, and remap the control keys.

or and I appreciate this is less helpful, get a laptop with the keypad on.

 

What they say above is true. While the view is on front cam, you can configure the keys to look up, down, left, right, back and forward again.

While in external cam mode (by pressing F1) the keys can be configured to move the cam in full axis around the ship. Press F1 again a couple of time to get back to front cam view.

Plenty of laptops have a function key that lets you use other keys as your number pad.  It works well enough here, though I do have to be careful the order in which I release the keys.
