Ultimate Filmviewer Wishlist Thread.
« on: November 30, 2009, 01:32:50 AM »
I can't express in words how much I love the film viewer. I can honnestly say that I've spent just as much time in it as I have online.

I have a few ideas for future development that would greatly improve it's functionality and bug fix requests.

1.   When films are cut, the ability to rewind is lost. This is a major pet peeve of mine for obvious reasons.

2.   When you’re sitting  in the enemy plane  your plane will still disappear when passing through the gun site glass.

3.   Allow a toggle option for blackouts.

4.   TrackIR views. I know this is a must for people who love to create AH2 movie content.

5.   The ability to use our joystick's hat's for manual views when in the filmviewer.

6.   I would love to see the control surfaces move. Would it also be possible to have a some type of 2D/3D rendering of the actual player's input. This would be invaluable for training, being able to show what control inputs your doing rather than explaining in words would be a God send! The amount of times I've been asked "So how much throttle did you have there?" or "Were you working the rudder at all?"

That's all I have for now, please feel free to add your idea's below.

Great ideas, all of which I agree with. :D
Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Showing the control surfaces would be great...I've taken so many screen shots where I was full rudder/aileron/elevator while taking a shot and it just doesn't look good in the screen shot.

I would like for our views in the plane to be mappable to our joysticks, as they are in-game.

Also, I would like to had detailed Camera options You have the shot editor but a real dummed down version or perhaps default shots would be nice.

I came up with a suggestion to show inputs a couple of month's ago in the thread below.
