Can someone help me with static camera orientation?

Well thanks for the help but I must be doing something differently to the rest of you. I start up the mission and hit Ctrl+F8 for the camera view - moving the mouse towards and away from me alters the elevation, doing so while holding the left button changes the zoom. Nothing I can think of doing allows me to turn the camera around the vertical axis. owell... off to find some maps with East-West-running runways, I guess.

Your locking ground targets using Ctrl + F8

Use Ctrl + F2 repeatedly until you see the correct camera views.

Alpha is correct. You were using the incorrect view command. That's not the command to view the static camera.

Gah, knew I had to be being dense somewhere along the line. I'll try that next time, thanks a lot.
