Beta 2.16

When in 3D Mode you can can manuever below the horizon which causes the screen to go black with a single greenish colored pixel in the center. Randomly manuevering will eventually get you back above horizontal. Perhaps the lock so that you can't go below the horizon or something would be in order.

Feature request: How about the zoom in/out function work for the tile that is currently being used in the 3d mode?

The only thing looking "under" the model can be useful for is comparing the 3d elevation of a tracklog to the DEM model -- sometimes it will be underground, so to speak.  This is somewhat of an esoteric feature (I imagine most people turn the 3d tracks off since they clutter the view), but I don't think it's that hard to get back to a reasonable view if you do it accidentally.  Going out of 3d mode and back in will do it, for example.

Zooming on the tilesets would be very cool.  I often wish I had a more detailed (higher resolution) map on the model.  This would take some serious work, however... but in the course of doing the larger-than-screen export it may be possible to at least make the texture larger to help with the problem.  It's worth some more thought, at least.
