Planespotter Camera Angle

Hi!

What do you guys think about a camera angle that is set on the beginning of the runway and follows the plane? You would have the cool perspective of a planespotter then.

Great idea, how would you like to select the different runway positions? Just iterate through them?
What if your aircraft is inbound to an airport where you would like to have your camera placed BUT you are currently flying overhead another airport? Like in Seattle for example or even Zurich?

Would you want to iterate through all available runways of just the nearest airport or rather the airport the aircraft is heading towards? That is a tricky question.

Maybe just like I have seen it at some other simulator: A camera that you can move by yourself and place it where you want it to be. And also with a little button to be able to stick the angle on the plane. Thats my example if the programming for this camera angle is too difficult due to the things you mentioned.
