I want to move up the view of the skybox,

In the unreal engine we did this by moving the camera that was in the skybox up or down to change the view.

Not sure what we can do in fpsc to change this.

Ill explain further, say we did a skybox that had buildings going halfway up the skybox, the latter half is sky, we load this skybox into our game and from our level we are looking at the clouds on the skybox and not the tops of the buildings, we need to shunt the view up, how do we make the skybox show its view from a lower position.

I don't know if you can tweak the skybox position up and down or not but you can construct your level lower than the default plane as a workaround. That is, unless you need a huge underground in your level.

I hope you can as I have a pack of 32 skyboxes that I will be selling as a pack, I've put them forward to the game creator team to see if they would like it in any official products, now not being able to move the view makes problems for people using this for fpsc as the view is so damn high in the skybox, you need to be able to move them around if you are using them in your games really to get skyboxes to integrate into a scene well.

Otherwise you would have to originally build them to show the main body of the scene from halfway up and you would get lots of warping or limiting factor by having the scene being in the ceiling.
