Can any one confirm that this issue with the tower padlock has been corrected? It would be incredible to have this view to create some awesome "Airshow" tracks! Please let it be fixed....please....please....please...

Oh God...
C'mon SSI... this is such a trivial issue, why isn't it fixed already??!! This is one of those killer features that can separate Flanker2 from the rest...

To Snowman ---------- The Flanker 2.5 view system supports planes padlock and terrain view points padlock from outside views. You can switch between "View To Object" and "View From Object" in outside view. F5 view is now "target-oriented" and supports enemy planes switching. You will have some kind of Weapon-to-Target view and any type of weapon can be chased. In "Keypad +" mode camera jumps to launched weapon from the cockpit and from outside view. Default angle of view in the cockpit can be saved and can be set in options directly. And thereby hangs a tale. What kind of correction in tower padlock do you mean?

If you don't mind me asking, whats wrong with the tower view? Are you talking about the way that view zooms?

I guess Snowman is referring to the problem that you can't padlock the aircraft during 'video edit' mode from the F11 view...

Yes Attila is correct. The aircraft padlock from the tower view (F11) is not available when viewing a recorded track. This must be corrected because this is the feature that truly makes this sim very interesting over many others!

OK, all camera control commands will work when editing tracks, including padlocks.

Thanks Valery! I can now truly, without hesitation, say this is my absloute favorite sim. Although it has been incredibly fun, I have been a little annoyed not being able to lock onto my aircraft to view my Airshow creations. Nice work. And to think it's actually going to get better in a few months with 2.5. Go figure.
