Hi,

In the previous version there was an autosetup for a top-down render of the terrain. Is there a way to do this in TG2? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!  ;D

I dont think there is currently but you can now just move the camera useing a combination of the ALT key and the mouse use it pretty easy. I know there is an orthagrahpic setting in the render cameria but I have never figured out what it acualy does.

The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

There is no auto-setup for orthographic top-down perspective at this time but we'll be adding support for multiple view types in the future. For now you can use direct numerical input to get a camera pointing precisely 90 degrees downward at the proper altitude and then turn on orthographic rendering. That should give you essentially the same result.
