I agree with this completely. I do the same. I was wondering about an additional feature... Other than recording entire flights, I've never seen what my own [attempted] landing looked like.... Would it be possible to add a feature where the simulation would immediately be paused, and "rewinded" for say, 5 seconds to give an "instant replay?" When the replay catches up to simulation time, simply return to the paused state? Then, during the replay, I can watch from a chase or tower view, etc.
Yes, my entire world was affected by my purchase of a TiVo. ;) -Matt Lee Elliott wrote: > On Sunday 13 July 2003 10:54, David Megginson wrote: > > Erik Hofman writes: > > > > > I mean we now have a tower view, we might come up with a "final Approach > > > view" and someday somebody will come by and asks for a windsock view. > > > Those are really candidates for a view selection dialog. > > > > Two truly useful ones would be a ground-chase view and a > > nearest-airport view.
