Looks good only comment I have is try to design for a smaller screen size resolution. I am running 1024 x 768 and had to scroll around the page to see everything.  :salute

Hmmm, The Fugitive, what kind of script do you need? A joke script? A useful script? I would be happy to try to write a script for you, as I too have plenty of time with finals coming up.

Most excelent idea indeed! Should definitely help out new players, though I'll have to agree with caddie, I also had to scroll around to see everything.

I like it Fugitive and second Ghosth's list but would add the barrel roll to his list of BFM.  As a three dimensional maneuver it seems to be one of those things newbies have a particularly hard time visualizing.  Not being super computer literate, is there a way you can switch back and forth in your tutorial between a cockpit view and diagram?  That way you could show what it's supposed to look like from an exterior view to what it actually looks like from the cockpit.

As I tell my wife "Anything is possible, how much time and money do you want to throw at it?"  :D

Just off the top of my head, I bet I could do a split screen type thing. It might be tough working out the timings, but ....hmmmmm... I'll have to look into it. You did a "movie" about the barrel roll didn't you? that might be helpful to work with.

Very well presented. I'd love to see that linked to the AHII splash page under "training" Heck, might even be worth using it as a "key" to unlock AHII for thr 1st time player.

Well done :salute

Man, a split screen would be great.  We can easily generate an AH film of specific maneuvers to use.  Too bad you can't extend trails beyond what AH does.  Ideally, you should be able to look at the maneuver three dimensionally with the complete maneuver outlined.
