Hitech,
I've played beta for a couple of days now. I set the field of view to 106. The view looks downward when you are sitting back in the cockpit. When you toggle default view as a button, it goes back to a zoomed in, more level view. However, you cannot zoom further back to get a wider view at that angle. Plus, when ever you use the view hat switch, it goes back to the original look down view. Is there any way you could make it to where you can make the default view further back in the cockpit and save it that way? I noticed that you simply cannot adjust the default view like you can in AH2 by hitting F10 at a preferred distance and height.
Please change the engine sounds. Use a different sound pack for the engine sounds. The guns sound good. The outside sounds of another's engine sounds absolutely georgeous, but the internal sounds relate to a lawn mower.
In the custom arena, there was no selection for gondolas in the 109s. The fuel loadouts were invisible. Maybe it was just the map...
I also think you should consider using hard smooth textures for the hanger just like you have it in the MA now. Think of how Halo3 looks compared to Halo4 and 5. The halo 3 textures were smooth and define. I think that type of structure is very realistic. Personally, I think you should keep the hanger exactly how it is now in AH.
