would be nice to have a system like AW had.......if you record film, right after you land you are presented a pop-up window asking what you would like to name the film file.

The cool thing about that feature was that you could easily name a film based on the recent flight and your memory of the flight.

Also, each start/ stop of recording in AW in a flight was one film file, which was very cool.

yeah very good idea.

I've got way too many films and if I dont jump out right away and rename it to something I'll recognize it as, it gets lost fast.

Agreed whole heartedly.

This I think is more of a need even then a want.
imo should be that way to start with

I should have said, "...delete or save a film EACH TIME YOU LAND AND GO TO TOWER."  (not each time you turn your gun cam off)

So in effect you will always be filming?  That is pretty cool.

no way.  i'm not filling my hard drive up with that much crapola.  

it would just suck to be flying around, accidentally (or intentionally) stop the gun cam & POP...there's a pop-up window in the middle of your screen.  the pop-up should wait until you're back in the tower; that's all i mean.

Right, I know.. but what I meant was you will in effect always be filming, but then get to choose whether or not to save the film when you land.  

Well, make that a question and that is what I was asking.

What time did you put gas in your car 3 weeks ago?

I can remember specific fights I've had 3 weeks ago but couldnt tell you what time they were or even what day.

Rather have the option to rename the film upon return to tower. then I dont have to remember the date and time I killed "dipchit" I can just look for the file I named "Dipchit kill"

Dont agree with the "always filming" idea. Just would like the option to rename the film upon returning to the tower. then I can look for a specific film I may have made months ago
