film viewer wishes
« on: July 28, 2014, 02:23:19 PM »
- Enable the film viewer to use your saved head positions in films.  The FV saves views but they are not true to what you saw real-time.  Your gunsights, skins and sounds are also saved.  Why not head positions, which are by far the most important out of all of these?

- Enable the FV to save black outs and red outs on the film maker's view.  These can help explain why you did what you did.

- Enable some kind of icon for your plane.  When viewing from another's plane, yours can be hard to see without an icon.

- Enable multi-colored trails.  Have at least four different colors that can be assigned by check boxes to whatever player you choose.  This way, you can differentiate flight paths better in a crowded environment.  Also, allow the option to disable views on any player impertinent to the fight.  This would eliminate unnecessary distractions.  Even with just two planes, it would be much better to watch.
"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

You forgot recording the stick and pedal positions and displaying the control surface movements.    :aok

+1..Add Free view using Mouse/TrackIR and the Film viewer would be 10000x better.

Just because he says that, doesn't mean it's going to happen. You have to buy him pizza and scotch first!

$14.95 can get him two slices, a shot of scotch and even cover the tip.   :D

+1. Or better yet, record TrackIR inputs in-game so your head movements during the fight can be seen in the Film Viewer.
