Gorf,
All you need to do once you click the film option is click open on the clipboard. You will see a list of the films you have made and they will be listed consecutively in the order you recorded them, e.g., your first film will be film1, your second will be film2, etc. Then just click on the film you wish to view and hit play.
The slider on the clipboard controls the speed of the film. All the way to left pauses the film and to the right is as fast as the film will fast forward. Also, since this is film, external views are available. F3 for external, F8 to pan, and the `[' & `]' to zoom in and out.
On the clipboard, you will also see a button entitled `trail'. If you click this, you can view the flight paths of the aircraft in the film and get a better idea of the maneuvers they are using while fighting.
Also, Alt-S (Screenshot) works while viewing film as well. All screenshots are located in the C:\program files\htc\ah folder as AHSS1 for the first pic, AHSS2 (Aces High Screen Shot 2) for the second pic etc. Just right click the pic and choose rename.
Within C:\program files\HTC\AH\films you will find all your saved film. Just right click on any of the films you wish to rename and rename them. You will also notice that the time in the film is at sunrise and clouds do not appear in film. I don't know if the time command ( .time HH MM X where X=0 means time stands still and X=1 means time moves at normal rate) works in the film viewer. Hope that helps you out.
BTW, there seems to be a bug in the film, where, if you see `smoke' in the film and try to quit the film to play another the computer locks up. So if you see smoke in a film you are viewing, just let the film play out until the end of the film pops you back into the tower and you should be OK.
