I don't run the sim very often, my time is spent on content, but today I wanted to explore the new weather feature so, startup, hit camera 2 to get out of the cab, then 8 to be tethered, and wanting to see above the local scenery, several attempts to get the camera to rise vertically, all failing. Huh?? I used to do this all of the time.

So, Q: How do you get the camera to rise vertically w/o changing it's point of view?

That's what I used; it didn't work and that's why I'm confused.

Perhaps it's a "feature" in the test version of the weather modifications.

I think this is right -

Dave, don't forget, if you hit F1, there's a list of all commands and the keybindings - I've used this extensively to figure out what key does what in the sim - All the ones you want start with "Camera" about 1/3 of the way down the list.
