Thanks.. I really struggle without padlock and wondered why it's not included as a Sim option.


The reason I would like it in is that if it's a simulation then it should simulate the pilot as well.. By that I mean that there should be a way to padlock onto a target that is visable through the canopy. Once your eyes have locked onto a target it should stay locked on unless it wouldn't be visable in real life (underneath or behind etc). Then you have to look around to re-aquire. This would behave more realistically because it's the way the human eye works. But, I can't think of a way that it would work other than on a timer (so if you look in the direction of a target for more than 10 seconds it locks on) to me that would make more sense than having to worry about 'controlling' your eyes and trying to fly a plane.
