Flythrough Pitch
Feature request to decouple "Pitch" from "Fixed Direction" in the flythrough settings.
The use case example: Follow the path looking straight ahead on the path heading, but pitched down some amount.
In "Straight Ahead" you can't shift-select multiple points in the dialogue to set pitch in one move, so each individual point has to be double-clicked and manually edited in the separate window that comes up.
In "Fixed Direction" the pitch for the whole column can be set, but you lose all the path headings to the single non-zero heading required for that column (wild cards don't seem to work here).
The path can be manually edited externally but it's an onerous process of exporting to text, editing in Excel, converting your desired degrees to radians, in the correct column, and importing the line back in with fields 4-8 enabled for flythrough. For trial and error of different pitch angles it's a pain to keep repeating.
A quick pitch degree only input and click would be good

I was working on a project recently and found this a restriction too - this is a great suggestion.
