Thanks for this!! Now i just need soemone to fly with! Can you use this on your own? I am interested in the PLAT camera aspect of this, for reviewing my own practice attempts. Or is there any way to port over the plat xcamera to a normal free flight? Cheerrs, Mark

You can use the PLAT camera to review your flight if you record it with FSRecorder. However, this is only possible in a mission where you have the PLAT camera view coded into the mission. In multiplayer mode, you cannot record with FSRecorder, so only other people can watch your approach, or you can watch their approach and give them directions. I did this a couple of days ago when we were testing the mission - I was watching through the PLAT camera and I felt that the guy on apporach was very high, so I said "Wave off!" and he actually did - it was pretty fun :) Orion's mission is usually hosted in the Adventurer's Lobby in the multiplayer section - it's less croweded than the Free Flight lobby :)
