Title: misc variety
Post by: Shane on September 04, 2008, 06:48:51 AM
Would be nice for the following:

1.  Having ability to slave a rider's views to pilot's when using .join

2.  Having .hps files used instead of deafult views when viewing film (recorded views).

3.  re-arranging (somewhat ahistorically) some of the instruemnt panels to be able to see relevant info at a glance. speed, climb/dive rate, engine manifold, g-meter and flaps <---- in useless place on several planes like the p-38, p47.

4. better ambient lighting effects, it seems the "earth" absorbs light, instead of reflecting it, often causing things to appear overly dark in situations.

5.  showing all control surfaces  and instrument motions when viewing film.

some of these may have been requested before.

#3 for widescreen monitors tends to be more of a challenge to see all the bottom gauges than normal aspect ratio monitors.  However, this newest patch will address this issue! :aok

2. If the view capability of the film viewer gets modified, then in addition to your requests, how about throwing in recorded Track IR views. Also, when not viewing with prerecorded views, how 'bout enabling Track IR to look around. Every time I watch a film I keep nodding my head to and fro trying to get a good view.  :D

3. Some time ago I wish-listed for more info on the E6B page to be able to fly foreign planes whose gauges I have no idea about. At least ROC was added there, but a few more things would be nice.

#2 is something I have often wished for when viewing a film.

I really like this idea.  It would be a good teaching tool.

Great ideas, Shane, I like them all except #3. And I'd like to have TrackIR view available in film viewer, too, as Old Sport said.
