[tuhopuu-devel] Camera fly-mode

[Chris Burt]

Don't forget the actual camera fly mode..

1. Press Numpad 0 to activate camera
2. Press Shift F to activate fly mode then:

      LMB = forward
      MMB = reverse
     CTRL = descend
      ALT = ascend
    SPACE = place camera in current location
      ESC = quit to original camera position

Regards,
--Chris
