As I recall, the point of this view was to show an external view of the
aircraft from a fixed heading. For some situations and some people, all the
extra visual motion generated by keeping the view point fixed with the
orientation of the aircraft could cause nausea, or not show the desired
visualization results as well. So I believe it was Michael Selig of UIUC
that created this view very early on in the history of FlightGear. It is
intentionally less dramatic than the other views. That said, I have no idea
why the scenery would show up different in this view for John ... maybe more
issues of our code not being 100% compatible with ATI hardware (or visa
versa?)
