at [3D file manager on nicer.app](https://nicer.app/3D-data) , i have a 3D folder view up, but i can’t fly around the world.  
i’ve verified (with debugger and console.log statements) that the t.camera.position gets updated.

i’m completely stumped…  
please help.

ok, i managed to solve it on my own 🙂

the issue was using CameraControls at the same time as FlyControls.  
then in the t.animate(), just don’t do t.cameraControls.update() if (!t.cameraControls.enabled) and only set _that_ to true when you’re using it (for path animations btw).
