How do you aim probes with the surface scanner?

[Saool]

This evening I have finally had a chance to get into the beta. I have gone through and set up a first batch of binds for thing. What I can't understand is how you move your view when firing probes to do surface scans. Nothing works. I can move my ship. I can move the view in the FSS but DSS is static.

I have googled it, watch some videos, and everyone seems to be able to more it, but does not say how.

What am I missing?

You set up pitch and yaw for DSS in the Multiplayer third person view.

Edit: You can use the same controls you use in the FSS, just have to add them to the multiplayer section.

You may have cake and ice cream. Thank you.

I'm very much liking a lot of the stuff that has been added, but the number of binds required, often obscure, and with no explanation or instruction is crazy. FDEV could do a lot better in this regard.

You're welcome... Took me a while to figure the DSS out, but once you've got it set up it's actually quite intuitive to map the planets.

If you want a bit of a spoiler on how to map the bodies (particularly the back side of the body to where you are) you can take a look at this thread. (Note, it's not a scientific explanation, but it works.)
