Can't find the classic 3d navigation pallette. It is not where the book says it should be
Also I have no classic alt click verification sound, does anyone know how to turn it on?

Thank you

Am I missing something, or is using arrow keys and page keys to try to walk through the building just a horrible idea?
Arrows or W-S/A-D control forward-back/sides motion, and the mouse controls rotation on z (rotate to the sides) and x (look up on down) axis (in a walkthru you are moving level, so by 'rotating' up or down you look up or down -and you would go for fly mode if you wanted otherwise). It's sort of standard gaming control. So you need one hand on the keyboard, one on the mouse.

Try first moving car-like, moving forward (w) and backing up (s) only while turning with the mouse, and standing and panning every now and then. Once you are comfortable with that you can improve your sidesteps, like when you want to pop up on a window and shoot the bad guy. [Don't know what they were thinking when they didn't put the jump, crouch, prone, and crawl controls.]

Because the walk is not gravity-sensitive, you will need Space and C for elevators and stairs. Optional gravity could be cool for AC 11.

What you see between Matthew and me is merely exhausting the "wastegate" of turbocharged minds.

In a turbocharged engine, if the turbo didn't have a wastegate to shunt overheated air, it could never turn off and would explode.

Boom.

You mean stacking up the one-liners?

Nah, we'd never do that.
