N overhead view

planet-coaster

I'm trying to get a handle on my park and what it looks like. and ideally I'd like a bird's eye overhead sort of view where I can look down on things, instead of the default which is kinda looking at them from the side. I see I can tilt the camera with some combination of the scroll wheel and the arrow keys, but I can't seem to get that working with my mouse.

Is this possible in the options somewhere? I didn't immediately see anything when I looked. (Or if there is another way for me to tilt the camera, maybe then I could do it…)

You can get a bird's eye view of your park by zooming out and holding down and dragging the middle click button. Below is an example of what that looks like. (Excuse the negative funds) Overhead view of park.

EDIT: I do not believe there is a command to toggle to an overhead view. The available camera controls are:

Pan Camera Forward:     W
Pan Camera Backward:    S
Pan Camera Left:        A
Pan Camera Right:       D
Rotate Camera Left:     Q
Rotate Camera Right:    E
Zoom Camera In:         Page Up
Zoom Camera Out:        Page Down

Toggle Freelook Mode:   T
Pan Camera Up:          E
Pan Camera Down:        Q

As an alternative to the mouse middle click issue, you should have the same functionality by pressing both left and right click down and dragging your mouse.
