Is anyone else getting a bit peed with the auto swapping to computer control when switching positions and / or going to external view? I find it gets in the way slightly. Be nice to be able to toggle manual control which isn't relinquished upon selection of another crew member don't you think?

I'd also like the option to begin a mission manually, without the AI kicking in after the OK from the radio operator.

Thoughts on this?

I'm with you on both of your opinions. It can be a tad frustrating to not have as much control as one may want.

Perhaps an AI lockout switch would be a great solution. Although, that could just add to the complexity of a unique and wonderful simulation.

I find if I pause before going to external, rhen hit the M key to get control again, then unpause. No AI control.

Dosen't the lockout switch just affect the AI for the throttle / engine controls?
