The direction of the view is independent of any particular object. Adjusting the heading and pitch offsets moves the direction of observation around. In the default Flight Gear configuration panning with the mouse will move the view around as if the observer was turning their head. | ||

The following illustrates a Tower defined as a "lookat", a view that can be used to track or follow a moving model: | ||
