Couple of short requests
« on: January 27, 2005, 08:51:35 AM »
Film Viewer
1. If I load a film on one map and watch it then load a film from another map Windows XP always shuts down the veiwer.

2. Make it so I can turn on tracers for all guns in the film.  I fly without tracers and would like to see where I am missing in my films.

3. Add a small box that shows stick input, rudder, flaps and throttle during playback.  This would be only for my plane of course any other planes in the film should not have this information if I jump to their cockpit to view.

4. I use TrackIR so my films do not show the view I was looking at.  That is ok but when in the viewer I press the view keys to see the planes my keyboard starts dinging from the repeated key presses from holding the keys down.

THIS is a great idea!!!


i imagine something like this:



where a little square with an animated image in it shows what is going on.

i know the JS setup shows those sine waveforms ar whatever, but for a layman they are too hard to distinguish well and learn from.

for the throttle you could put like a stero meter looking thing or something.

HiTech please please consider this.... it would help training IMMENSLY for those of us who either can not verbalize manuevers, dont understand the terminology others use, or people who speak different languages.
I don't know what to put here yet.

To stop the beeping keyboard, turn off Num Lock
