Advanced Camera Movement Setting
The advanced movements rotate and shift the camera view in such a way that the up direction of the panel aligns with the up direction of the screen. The overhead panel is then kept readable and it is much easier and natural to navigate in the cockpit and you no longer look at the panel at an angle.
Per default this is enabled but in the settings there is an option to disable the advanced camera movements.
Invert Camera Rotation
In the settings you have the option to flip the direction of the camera rotation.
