Wow - do I actually get to make use of some real life experience here??
First time for everything =)
I work for a games company who produce hard-core flight sims, and I'm
blessed *cough* to be in one of the more 'customer facing' roles =)
Something I've picked up is that you can never give someone (well, a flight
simmer, anyway) enough situational awareness; they'll always call for more.
It would be realistic (in our sims and in a graphical Mud) that the
viewpoint is both first person and limited in field when you're facing
forwards. However, our players demand not only that their pilot's head can
be turned realistically, but that they're provide with tracking cameras
that follow their craft (with full spherical panning), spectator views,
remote views, weapon tracking views and locked target views!
Something to consider for a graphical Mud..?
