I've wanted that for a while too. Requested it more than once too, if I recall.
It would be nice to actually see what my in-game head movements see. That way when I check my 6 I see the con, instead of in the default mode I see the back of my seat.
Among preferences - view, gun-sight, gui, etc. - could we have a films save folder option?
If no, why not?
:salute
Why do you want this?
Why do you want this?
When naming the film we could drop it in a folder relevant to that setup.... FSO, plane types, training, etc.
Have a master film folder and any folder listed under that master will be accessable when saving a film.
Doing a full directory dialog box every time you turn the film recorder off is too much of a hassle, especially if you're trying to save on an entirely different drive and sub directory.
It appears to me everyone is asking for different things, I am having a very hard time understanding what people are asking for?not sure about krusty and shuffler but the ability to specify the default folder for films and/or screenshots outside of the current directory path would be a nice start.
I thought the original request was not wanting films save to the films folder but rather to a different folder set by the user?

I want it so that when I make a video of Aces High footage, the following is true:
- people see my view angles as I see them in-flight. I can't show how I'm looking side-front to see under my nose if all the film viewer shows is straight ahead "default" head position.
- people can see my custom gunsights if I am using them. Otherwise the film viewer will again default back to the standard. Means if you're going for some interesting historic video it would show IJA gunsights on the Ki-61, and LW gunsights on the 109G6, etc
As-is, unless you record directly in-game with fraps you can't replicate your saved head positions when looking around.
Since the film viewer is not using the AH head positions/gunsights, he's asking that we have a custom folder we can copy these into. I would be just as happy tying the files to the AH game files, but there is another aspect:
- You could use it as a training/comparison tool, swap in and out head positions to compare them or train newer pilots about the differences these make. Replay the film with your head positions, stop, copy in somebody else's head files, and re-watch the film (for example).

See, the way you were talking about gunsights head positions, etc, I thought you were going a totally different route there.
