All the advice above about resetting the view command in TMO is correct. But I'm not sure just having the external view of other objects (ships) will answer your second issue.

To rotate 360 around your own boat or a different object, click the mouse so the cursor is gone, then use the < and > keys to rotate either way around the object. If you also use the shift key it will speed the movement around the object. You can also get closer or farther using the up or down arrows accordingly.

One other thing, I went into the TMO 2.5 that I downloaded and changed the CMD 50 and 51 per postings above in that "original" version instead of just doing it in the installed version. That way any time I have to reload TMO 2.5 the change is already there. Saves some work. But you will always have to change the Options in the Office Radio to allow external views regardless of the settings within TMO. Do this once at the start of a career. Good luck and good hunting! :salute:

Gooday Razark, The view I get is the offset camera view that comes with TMO 2.5. after removing the ( ; ) on Cmd line 50 & 51.
To answer your questions (1. Yes I get the view of units when pressing the ( , and . ) keys.

Ok, so that is working and people can stop telling you to read the manual...

Somehow in TMO 1.9 I got the view to center on the selected unit & can do a 360 pan around the unit using the arrow keys and the view will stay centered on the selected unit. This is what I am trying to get TMO 2.5 to do.

Honestly, I've been using TMO for a long time, and I don't remember the unit camera ever acting like that. If it is TMO affecting how the camera handles, it's going to take editing the files to undo whatever changes were made. Sorry to say, I don't know anything about that part.

Oooh! I found an unmodded stock version of SH4 on my system.

Ah. Wow. Ok, now I see what you're trying to do. Yeah, that's going to require editing some file to redefine the camera behavior.

You are missing a simple point. You got it to pan around the unit in 1.9 when you left clicked the mouse. This released the fixed position of the camera and allows you to move it around the unit, or zoom in or out, using the regular keys for viewing. It works exactly the same in 2.5.

Ok i found a solution to get what I was looking for. Downloaded & installed (Game Fixes Only Mod 1.1) I would like to thank all who have given their time and advice in this matter.
