We had a discussion about this keybinding (and some others, a larger issue of mine) on IRC and discovered that all the people using it are developers / scenery authors, to 'test stuff'. This makes me think it should be in a debug option somewhere, or that we might need a 'scenery test mode' which for example, disables weather of any kind completely. (Arguably fgviewer is the right solution for this, though it would then be hard to test interaction of scenery / models and different Effects options, I guess) I also think the FoV setting should move to a dialog, but I have the impression normal people (not developers) *are* using that to look around 3D cockpits and 'zoom' on details. Of course FoV and zoom are not quite the same thing, but it does work in practice. James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
