I currently have a simple camera - roll, pitch yaw, and position. I can move in and out on the Z axis. Quite clearly I want to be able to move in the direction I'm looking. The book that I have - Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 9.0 by Frank D. Luna - uses position, look, up and right vectors. Is this the way to go? Thanks in advance Derek

I'm looking at a space sim style camera, if that makes a difference.
