just an idea on this old topic: in case this will be implemented some time in
the future

it would be nice to have a possibility film camera on/off
command button to be associated with other game actions, such us:
- trigger press / release + delta T, that is old and very well discussed,
but not only ...
- beginning (.fly == camera on) and end (.ef == camera off, killed == camera off)
of a sortie
- variable distance to the enemy player may set (i.e. turn camera on when
3K or closer to the nearest enemy, turn off when 6K or greater to the nearest
enemy, or turn it off manually, or turn it off when .ef, or killed, etc.),
- to summarize -- player may

have menu of choice
Camera Action when Game Action
----------------------------------------------
camera turns on- -- manually Alt R
---------------- -- trigger
---------------- -- .fly
---------------- -- distance to nmy <= #K
...
camera turns off -- manually Alt R
---------------- -- period after on (hh:mm:ss)
---------------- -- .ef or killed
---------------- -- distance to nmy >= #K
...
----------------------------------------------
well, manual Alt-R switching has to have higher priority in case player
wants to force it on/off despite of menu settings
- other suggestions? or were these kind of things already discussed?
