	Roaming ~~camera~~ allows you to move freely around the route.		<b>Roaming</b> mode allows you to move freely around the route independent of any consist. Switching from cab or chase view to roaming in-game removes the screen view from the train and places it at a point on the ground.

	Lineside (also known as "tracking") view uses preplaced camera map objects to define the camera view. Like the external/cab cameras, this camera needs a target (typically a train car) which it will use to select the best camera. As the target moves, the camera may track it, or another fixed camera may be selected.		Lineside (also known as "tracking") view uses preplaced camera map objects to define the camera view.

The fixed viewpoint cameras cannot be repositioned, zoomed or angled by the player (in Driver), but the fallback chase camera operates as normal. Of course the user can edit the route or session to adjust the existing lineside cameras or to add new ones.

	With the new free-flying “Drone” camera, the camera hovers in place and is controlled by the arrow keys and Pg Up/Pg Dn. Unlike Fly mode, movement is unaffected by pitch, keeping the camera height constant unless it is explicitly adjusted using the Pg Up and Pg Dn keys or unless a ground collision forces it upward.

Unlike Fly mode, movement is unaffected by pitch, keeping the camera height constant unless it is explicitly adjusted using the Pg Up and Pg Dn keys or unless a ground collision forces it upward.

			Camera speed is affected by height, so low to the ground you'll be moving slower than above ~50m. We've also added a mousewheel option for rapid forward or back movement (which moves you much faster than the arrow keys).

	If the camera was previously anchored to an object, the drone will remain anchored to the same object. You can also move along a train just as in Chase mode by using the - and + keys.
