Phantast, all the problems you mention, I don't see as a problem at all. Sounds like you may need get into the basics of Vue again. Don't mean that offending at all, don't get me wrong. There are actually a number of ways to constrained axis in Vue. Also I've got no problem the camera controls at all. I never cared for the way Bryce does things, I find everything so much easier to accomplish in Vue.
