Actually, I was thinking it might be nice if we could apply it to the real thing -- put a prop in front of every cockpit and it would do wonders in the fog. The "pause" feature would be good, too: apply it @ 5 feet before the crash and everybody jumps out before the 'pause' is released. Guess we'd need a remote control if everybody jumped out -- or just leave it there as a mid-air monument.
Sorry, that doesn't help much for the sim, does it. A problem with the visual overlaps for which someone else will need to come up with the specifics to fix. The assumption is that it's that way during play (not only on pause) and which sim?
