	Lineside (also known as "tracking") view uses pre-placed camera map objects to define the camera view. Like the external/cab cameras, this camera needs a target (typically a traincar) ~~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 pre-placed camera map objects to define the camera view. Like the external/cab cameras, this camera needs a target (typically a traincar) that it will use to select the nearest camera. As the target moves, the camera may track it, or another fixed camera may be selected.

	If there is no camera ~~which can~~ "see" the target, then the camera controller will temporarily fall back to the chase camera.		If there is no camera to "see" the target, then the camera controller will temporarily fall back to the chase camera. See: [[How_to_Place_and_Use_a_Camera]] for detailed instructions on setting up lineside cameras along your route.

	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.

	~~This~~ camera ~~is fixed to the selected vehicle, and allows~~ you to ~~rotate around~~ the vehicle ~~and zoom in and out~~.		In Surveyor, this camera mode will attach you to the train vehicle nearest your Compass.

			To change trains, go to roaming camera, move your cursor to where you want to attach, then hit '2'.

	Zoom to cab mode: With the loco selected (or any traincar with an interior), if the user zooms all the way in, the camera will transition to "Cab Camera" mode. Zooming out again will transition back into Chase camera mode.		Zoom to cab mode: With the loco selected (or any traincar with an interior), if the user zooms all the way in, the camera will transition to "Cab Camera" mode. Zooming out again will transition back into Chase camera mode.

	If the targeted train enters a tunnel, this camera will automatically switch to a "tunnel view" which locks the position to the roof of the traincar and switches to "first person" style pitch/yaw controls. Zooming is disabled in tunnel view.

	Currently, the walk camera is only affected by the ground height. The player cannot swim, jump, etc. and can walk through any splines, scenery, etc. When crossing water, the player maintains water level height (effectively walking on water). Longer term, we plan to integrate PhysX support but that is beyond the current scope of this release.		Currently, the walk camera is only affected by the ground height.

	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.
