For the record, I FREDded all of Dimensional Eclipse without using any of the numpad/a+z camera controls in FRED.
How did I rotate the camera? I placed a dummy camera ship, rotated that, and used the swap view to make sure things looked right.

More importantly though, who would tell a coder not to add a feature he'd already decided that he was interested in adding without giving any reason beyond "Well you already know another way to do it which you don't think is good enough but you should use it cause I say so"?

Eh, sorry, that was pointed @ OP
