Can't use third person view
Hello there, I made this small ship https://prnt.sc/1686trd
When I'm sitting inside the cockpit, I can't zoom out holding ALT, but if I drive the rover (same kind of cockpit) I can zoom out, what is the problem with the ship?

-> Hit "V" to change view, hold Alt+MMWheel to zoom in and out = OK

Note
I have tested without the 5 Mods (skipped the download).

I have noticed you play with thruster damage ON and forgot to keep 2 blocks of space for the flame and the Forward thrusters (I've painted red) are burning the ones in their way :

Hi, it may be the thrusters on top, it was a reported bug that got fixed at some point that may be back.
-> move those top thrusters next to cockpit, place under the ship for a test.

Edit
Or
-> It's the connector = ?? .. testing needed to be sure (remove the connector for a test)

Hello thank you Dan for reaching me!
I've removed the top thrusters and the connector, but nothing, I still can't zoom out: https://prnt.sc/168ciiw

Try in a new world, creative mode for a test, to know if it is a game bug or bugged only in one save.

You may share your save and I will load to find the problem.

>> How to publish a world save :

1 - Select your save.

2 - Click the "Publish" button on the left.

3 - Choose a proper Tag or skip all and click the OK button.

4 - Your world will be uploaded to Steam Workshop.

5 - Share the Workshop item link here.

EHM.. I would like to hide myself.. I just realized that I wasn't pressing V at all, because on the rover I was zooming out without pressing it, so I thought it was a bug..

Now I've tried pressing V and IT WORKS, so no bugs anywhere xD I'm sorry for this and really thank you for your time and your availability! And thank you also for the thrusters hint!

It's cool and don't worry about my time cause I prefer to go in-game to avoid a lot of questions :) glad to know it works now.

Have fun, Engineer!
