It is nice to have colored trail added, instead of the old ‘wireframe’ model. However, I am getting a “Missing shape plane trc” message when I activate the trail feature.
I suspect this has something to do with drawing the plane contour in the trail itself, right ?
Also, ordnance (drop tanks, rockets etc) are not shown in films anymore.
Here are few suggestions:
1. Please bring back the fixed view (used to be at F5 key) – this is the most useful view for combat analysis, IMO.
2. Put the following feature in: Plane contours should be drawn in the trail, showing plane position and orientation (wireframe plane model should be just right). It should also be user adjustable, for example to draw 1 position per second, or 1 every 3 seconds etc. In combination with somewhat transparent trail it would look just great.
3. Mark the moment when the plane opens fire.
4. Mark the moment when a plane is damaged.
With all these options films should look something like this (borrowed from Shaw’s book) :
