Fly-By View finally here !

I would say in all sims prior to the latest MSFS, 90% of my flying was done from the "Tower View". I absolutely miss the Tower view, which in essence was a type of fly-by view I suppose!!!!

Absolutely ! There's a nice example of it at the end of the video i posted above. I usually used it to play 'RC aircraft model flying' with the lighter/slower aircraft models in FS9 or FSX/P3D. Great fun until i bought a copy of "Real Flight", a simulation of flying Radio Controlled aircraft models (https://www.realflight.com/). Truly fantastic, particularly if you used to do that for real and you didn't have to rebuild your model for like half a year when you inadvertedly crashed it. The sound of that is meticulously recreated in "Real Flight" and used to make me cower and cringe. Hehe :cower:

There are a million models available for it for free but at one time i did loose interest. It is an extremely well done program nontheless and i have had 3 tons of fun with it.

If Fabio Merlo knows what's good for us he will implement both a regular 'Fly-By View' and a 'Tower View' as well.

Ultimately i hope one day we'll be able to easily recreate an airdisplay show with FlightControlReplay but let's see what he will come up with with a regular Fly-By view.The Replay section is pretty good already.

Omg I forgot about Tower View in old Flight Simulator! Loved that view!
 
No live flyby beyond what the drone can already do in the sim, it's true.
But if you remember to record something, you can watch it every which way!


I believe there is an Nvidia option which allows instant replay of the last xxx seconds, also.

Have you ever considered how good of an RC pilot you would be if you could use your PC Joystick?!?!? I could do all kinds of aerobatics!! It is hard for me to take the joystick movements and move them to the RC sticks.

Thanks Wing_Z but it's the drone's fly-by view 'one time only' that gets my goat. I am of course totally spoiled by Active Camera's superb fly-by camera. I have no hope that we're going to see anything similar in MSFS (pretty odd if you think about it....) but i'd sure finally welcome a normal 'looped' fly-by view option any day sooner or later !

Well, i have actually never considered that. Always been quite happy with the little joysticks on the RC transmitter. Not that i was a true master with 'em. I mean with the *real* transmitter. Always happy with any landing i could walk away from.. ;)

Of course when i was flying RC 'Real Flight' wasn't even a speck on the horizon, even a pc wasn't yet. I'm quite sure though that if i *did* have 'Real Flight' for training it would've made me a much better RC pilot.

Oh well, water on the bridge now, lots of it ! :)
