The film capture/viewer is seriously PORKED when it
comes to all things nautical.

During Coral Sea as the Team Alpha AIr Boss I spent considerable
time on the bridges of our fleets, zig-zagging and
dodging bombs and torpedoes.
The hours of film I shot show absolutely NOTHING of my
artfull  "Dance of the Grey Ships"!
No torpedo wakes, no bomb splashes, no ships wakes.
The ships  jerk about spastically, and to see aircraft in the air
you have to dick around with going to one of the
planes during the playback. Then some things that
were missing ( range, etc ) start to show up in the
data lists but, alas, nothing usefull vis a vis the ships!

You'd think that someone that started their flight simulator programming career
creating a film viewer for Air Warrior would at the
minimum, insure that the one for his own product was PORK free....

Just my opinion, or course :)

One thing I've noticed that is consistent in all films I have.  When you "tower", whether ending a flight with a landing or getting shot down, whatever; the film viewer shows a generic "grass and trees" setting.  Not a tower view.  Not a blank view.  As long as you are not in "flight", you get the (what I call) "on hold music" view.
