Hi Ylva (and others),
The previous implementation was confusing. When on the floor you had the im=
pression that the picture was parallel with the ground. Then you stood up y=
ou now saw the picture with the same aspect ratio even though the camera is=
now from the side rather than above. It is as if the picture stood up too.=
Then when you flew the helicopter over the houses the picture was shorter =
as if it really was standing up not lying on the ground and you were seeing=
it from an angle. It is this last "feature" that I removed in 3.102.
By the way, if you leave a really large picture on the ground then it can c=
over up the houses -- a bit strange.
Best,
-ken
