Thank you. And tx for the advice.

Well I was analyzing the Conning_Tower_OH Commads_en.cfg because I saw that the right click changed to free cam but I didn't find a bind to that key/button so I was guessing that could be a bind/link not so obvious as the Key0 label... I'll check the other files. I would like to know how the author as done that.

About the other question, about the rotation, it is a bit difficult to explain but I'll try.

I am finding some problem. In the first node of lets say for example RadioRoomRadar station I define some coordinates in Position fields where I want the camera when I exit the station, then in another node inside the main RadioRoomRadar I define just the contrary of the coordinates defined in the main node, which will put back the camera to the default position (in this example just in face the radar) when in the station. That works, when entering the station I sit in face the radar and when I exit it I am in another coordinates (the ones defined int he main node), let's say in the corridor facing the hatch.

But the problems comes if for example I want to be looking to the radioman instead of facing the hatch. To do that I need to turn the camera around the vertical axis (Y) and also around one of the horizontal axis (X). So I put some values for the Rotation fields for the main node.

The result is that the camera is positioned and points as I want but when I enter in the station, then the AxisRotation works strangely (far away from the 'expected' point (in face Radar), sometimes tilted in Z and as if it had a big rotation radius, etc.

If I try to compensate de rotation values put in the main node by putting the contraries (same value, different sign) in the second node (the one that contains the two -X,Y- AxisRotation proprierties, and where I put also the contrary values for compensation of the position, as explained), the behaviour of the camera is also strange (tilted in axis Z, big rotation radius)

Can someone please enlight me? I have tested a lot of combinations and looked another examples which uses the Rotation fields but I have not concluded how it works.

Thanks you for any help!
