Not really.
On Approach its just about 4 km until visibility starts.
In vicinity it looks a bit thin.
Departing visibiolity range ist about 9 km.

You can see them grids away...10+km for sure.

My List:
1. The ability to tailor Kills in a pilots career information so that "Training" kills can be deleted or categorized... Both Air and Ground.
2. Additional maps for the Pacific. Leyte gulf, Luzon, Corregidor, Kwajalein, Ulithi, Tokyo.
3. Redo existing maps of the Pacific.
4. Additional Named/Numbered Essex Class Carriers... including stationary ships.
5. Half sunken battleships, destroyers, frigates, etc. For pearl harbor and other battles.
6. Improvement in the NTRK files to make them editable.
7. Concur on the Taxi-in addition.
8. Give the campaign creator full control over which aircraft the "pilot" will fly in. So that he knows where the "pilot" will be. It will allow senior pilots to fly as wingman without having to create two separate flights. The same way it works in the Full Mission Builder.

Thanks for considering these. Great Job.
Bonz...

6. Won't be possible. The NTRK format is essentially a packet recorder. It's linear data in, linear data out.

I'm looking into mapping again... I thought about a China map but it's a bit overwhelming as I don't know the history of the battles very well.

If any of those listed above were to be done as maps... size? Key positions (airfields, other features), etc.? It seems to me like Leyte would be easier than Tokyo for example (although it would be appealing for missions around the 244 Sentai - also... Ki-61-I-Tei for the love of pete ).
