A more intelligent view system

[TexRoadkill]

I may be alone on this but to me Sim doesn't mean needlessly complicated, it means realistic. Since we don't have head tracking and there are always issues with trying to look where you need to look it would be cool if the game could have a little bit of viewing intelligence. I don't expect to see it in a patch but it would be nice for the future.

The view should be looking at what you need to see.

If you are doing a bank turn it should automatically look up a bit so you can see into your turn. The harder you are banking the more it should look up but the view should always follow parallel with the horizon to help keep oriented with the ground.

If you have the landing gear down the view should shift down enough to always see the artificial horizon indicator, climb/dive rate and speedo.

If you get an enemy in your sights the view should automatically keep them at the edge of your vision, not always in the middle, until you lose sight of them in the clouds or under your plane, etc. Obviously you would want to be able to overide this with the view button.

If there is a problem with your plane or your flying like oil pressure dropping, stall speed approaching, too high of a dive rate with landing gear down, etc. The view should look down and zoom in a bit to see the appropriate gauge on the panel. It should be a quick, like a glance at the gauges.

Or would all this be too un-sim like for you guys?
