Ok, that makes sense too.
But there is clicking on a flight involved.
Try two:
I am looking at local flights. I live in Oz so there is little traffic.
I scroll around looking. Not too much.
So I go up and select Network flights.
Find a flight and jump to the other side of the world.
Watch, have a bit of fun. Yeah, let's see what is going on back at home.
Click back on local flights and the map doesn't change back to where it was.
I have to select another flight.
Ok, not much of a problem, but to me it is not a good way of doing it.
Oh, also, moving the mouse around over planes. It is annoying if I am wanting to scroll the map while having a flight selected and as I move the mouse over other flights - and NOT clicking - the selected flight changes.
Couldn't it be changed so a click is needed to select the flight?
Oh, another thought:
The list of flights (usually on the left of the screen). I usually have a big map.
So the horizontal size of the data is limited.
Left clicking a flight in the list then RMB on it, gives a pop-up data box which shows a box with all the data which is otherwise hidden.
Just discussing ideas.
I accept that as I use it more and more I may find ways around the problems, but I am offering ways I see as easy.
