Atari 3 manual Scenic Settings

•Control Mode – A drop-down list allows you to select from the following camera modes and settings:

1.Normal – Default camera for the game provides ease of use and flexibility.

2.Advanced – An alternate to Normal with slightly different button assignments.

Camera Controls – A setting of 0, 1 or 2 changes the mouse buttons that control camera movements.

Ignore Scenery – When checked, the camera will rotate around a spot on the ground; when unchecked, the camera will rotate on a spot on the scenery.

3.Freelook – Camera controls designed to assist you in looking up.

Sensitivity Flying – This setting determines how the camera moves in response to mouse movement; the higher the number, the more sensitive the camera is to mouse movement.

Isometric Rotation Sensitivity – This setting determines how the camera moves in response to mouse movement while in isometric mode; the higher the number, the more responsive the camera.
