I think a ground chase view would be great. I'd also like an air chase view that follows bearing but that shows gust and turbulence effects but something like that has been proposed, I think;) As for putting some of the views in menus - hmm... I'm less keen about that because when I change views I want to do it quickly and often I'll only want to check a view for a second. For example, when landing I'll often quickly switch between the cockpit, the two chase views and the tower views, using different magnication and orientation settings for each view, and spending less than a second in most of them. I suspect this would be tricky to do if some of them could only be accessed via a drop down menu - the moment would have passed and I'd have had to move one of my hands from the js or kb to grab the mouse. Setting up the views with some of them in a menu would be ok by default if it was still easy to add the extra entries to the kb list.
