freelook - does this work?

While trying to get this resource working:

I noticed that the 'freelook' key doesn't seem to work, in any version from 1.2+

Am I missing something?

Works exactly the same as it always has. While pressing v "for vanity" while in 3rd person view you can use the mouse to rotate around the control object.

Yep, tried it with a fresh new build of a brand new project. Started game, switched to 3rd person when the mission loaded, pressed and held "v" and used the mouse to rotate around the soldier. That functionality has not been changed or touched in anyway since TGE -- except maybe being bound to different keys.

...seems it was the trackball I was using to minimize my carpal tunnel was the culprit - sorry guys...

Oh that's a bit unfortunate... does the trackball usually work for games, and does it work for looking around normally in Torque?
