1) Create a new folder and put your DBP project in that folder.
2) Go to 3DWS and press file>export.
3) Name the file and in the drop down menu of file types select ".dbo"
4) Browse to the folder you created for your DBP project.
5) Export the file here.
6) In DBP use 'load object "[file name].dbo", [object number]' command to load the object in DBP

Criticism is only constructive and if telling you what we tell all newcomers to the forums, then apologies in advance for being horrible.

All I would say is that your question isn't really specific enough so you should sit yourself down and spend a couple of hours reading a few posts on here. Use the search to look for 'Move Camera' or 'Rotate Camera'.

[Edit] After looking at your code snippet, I thought I'd mention that you normally don't move the landscape when you have loaded it. Create another object and move that. Check out my Set Camera To Follow tutorial for the next step.

Look at the examples that come with DB Pro. The help files containg example programs which demonstrate all the commands.

Also, read some tutorials. If you are totally new to programming, try starting here:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=99497&b=10

This is very, very basic stuff that you should be learning yourself. It would take half a novel to explain what you asked and then we'd have to do it a couple of days later when someone else new joined.

But, that's what tutorials are for - so we can point newcomers to them instead of explaining the fundamentals over and over again.

If you have searched the forums and read the tutorials and still haven't found an answer to your problem then by all means come back and post a question.

If I didn't know what I was doing, I wouldn't even start with 3D, but it's your choice.

People are never horrible if you show you have at least tried to solve your problem before posting here.

when i said i want to go around the maps, i didn't mean to walk on the surface, all i wanted to do was to be able to fly around the map like you can do when your using 3d world studio. is this also very hard to do?
