    Default Pitching General Cam

    Heyas,

    I'm just about to start a new campaign, hopefully using general cam only. I've had a quick go in my current game, but seeing as I'm using widescreen here, I'm assuming the top and bottom of the screen are cut off, because the angle seems a bit tight.

    Is there any way to pitch it up and down a bit?

    I did find a random button on my mouse (4 or 5) that seems to kind of do the trick, but where it lands is very random, so I'm guessing I'm not using that right.

    Thanks muchly,
    Mopy

    Yeah, general cam can be fun, although a pain if you have more than a couple of units. I haven't tried the pitching thing but will give it a shot.

    Sorry, my fault. In an effort to pitch the cam up and down a bit I hit my 4th or 5th mouse button (one of the ones on the side that go forward/back in browser windows) and the camera kind of jumps to face a particular direction. It does pitch up/down, but it's not controlled. It kind of snaps to a view.

    I was looking for a smooth pitch up/pitch down while in general cam so I can see more of a straight ahead view rather than looking down at the ground over my generals head.

    Cheers,
    Mopy

    Is there any way to change the mouse wheel zoom of the general's camera to behave like the RTS camera (zoom in and pitch up) instead of the behaving like the Total War camera (change altitude of camera).
