personally im hoping for full sound recording and playback.
a flyby view option.
acurate control surface movement recording.
an option to padlock view your enemy without the need for turning icons on.
just a few things for consideration.
who else has suggestions?
-
Something that makes your aircraft not look like an unmoving overlay on your monitor screen in external view.
-
God mode
A way of manipulating views without the choppy number key pad or scroll bar junk.
A view system that was attached to the joystick's hatswitch so when "ignore recorded views" is selected you can move views with hat switch.
Basicly add way more view options than we currently have.
-
A special filter that makes it look like I shoot evryone down, maybe call it the Leviathin filter or sumptin.
-
I'd like to be able to fast forward by sliding the bar without crashing the viewer.

Thats a very good idea.
Some kind of Noise setting for the Camera where it rattles and shakes.
Mechanic has some good ideas too.

I KNOW..... 2 WEEKS!!!:rofl

Absolutely. The ability to position the camera anywhere you want, perhaps with the option to have it lock onto a plane as well.

gunner view

Accurate use of sounds. My main complaint is the fact that it always sounds like your engine is at idle.
-
to work...

I think that the new film viewer should have a "virtual shane" that will ridicule your every move and mock you for every kills or death.

-I like the idea of god mode, similar to CM-Eye mode, but with the addition of various movement filters to smooth the joystick/mouse inputs. I envision 'chasing' a few 190s as they dart in and out of a large formation of bombers. I saw this in a film from another game (warbirds?) and absolutely loved it... gives a great effect :)
-Not sure if this is feasable, but a Static Camera mode would be nice for capturing the perfect view... floating above a factory to see the effect of carpet bombing, fly-by's, etc...
-An external camera that can be panned using only the mouse (ala FB/AEP/PF). It's just so easy to use. :)
-
i imagine something like this:

where a little square with an animated image in it shows what is going on.
i know the JS setup shows those sine waveforms ar whatever, but for a layman they are too hard to distinguish well and learn from.
for the throttle you could put like a stero meter looking thing or something.
HiTech please please consider this.... it would help training IMMENSLY for those of us who either can not verbalize manuevers, dont understand the terminology others use, or people who speak different languages.
-
need to add:
ability to stop the replay of VOX transmissions so when you fast forward, or play at a high speed you dont have to wait for the VOX to catch up in time.
-
What I would like to see is, a padlock view that will follow the aircraft closest to you. Use like K and L to cycle through the planes. I know you have the ability to do this from the internal view with Icons on, I would like to see this go to the external without icons. It will be easier to track the fight between two planes.
Static camera would be nice.. but I think you would have to do that offline, unless you can somehow use the clipboard to postion it. I like that idea.

^^^^^ :aok
panned with mouse, and then if you press the mouse button its zoom also.
superb for film making.
-
this is not a bump

I liked the old "in-game" film viewer for the full cinematic view.
Being able to watch the film on full screen at high res instead of the 640x480 window would be nice.

Easier shifing (ff, reverse etc) during playback.
Make the joystic hat able to fully control view during playback just as yiou can in game.
More perspectives in GV films, right now I think the film only shows a view thrugh drivers position.
I heard that film does not show clouds and some other effects, I would like this fixed.
-
I'd like to be able to see the individual aircraft skins folks are using. Not just the default ones.

all of these are super ideas.
I hope the HTC team stumble accross this thread and take heed of their adoring fans :)

Thats a good idea..........
feed back on your inputs (throttle, stick and rudders) would be neat..............
-
Lets see, going down the list....
God Mode
View Controls
Fullscreen Mode....
Those IMO are the most important for the function of evaluating and understanding whats happening in the film.
Control telemetry....
That also would be a biggie. Only concern is how does that affect file size?
Play navigation issues....
Yep
Everything else....
How will that affect .ahf file size?

Yes! (memories of AW :) )

I would like to see a "pause" key for recording, so I can have 1 film for the whole night rather than a hundred. Also the views match your views as you see them flying, I all ways have to hit the home key while viewing to get back in center of cockpit.
-
All good ideas. Main thing I would like is to see each planes individual skin.
Formations would be awsome with different skins.
-
what do you want from the new film viewer?
I just want it to work....
My regards,
Widewing
-
I'd like to be able to jump to a position in my long, long films (some over 4 hours) without having to wait 10 min for the fast foward followed by a solid half hour of hearing every vox message preceeding that point. Do that, get rid of the crashes, and I'm happy.

i agree, also add better ground and cv record views, as it is now you can see the ship guns, but cant see em fireing, and can hardly see gv fights....
-
A better view system, recording all sounds, recording tracer fire.....but mostly...I wish for 2 things.
1) The ability to take control of your aircraft while the film is running.
2) The ability to create a drone that flys the EXACT flight path you originally did.
These two items could easily be the best trainer out there. AirWarrior's film viewer had these things. I used to d/l other peoples films and would watch it once, then turn on both of these things and learn how others performed different maneuvers.
Can you imagine telling a new guy to watch and participate in a film that shows a rolling scissors? That is a very difficult maneveur to describe. It would be so much easier to be able to follow a drone through the scissors. :-)
