Display altitude when in an aircraft

[Mike.]

Short description: Display altitude when in an aircraft.

Detailed description: Add an altitude read-out (in feet) close to where vehicle speed is displayed. This will allow players to fly accurately without needing to use first person view, or to have to continually switch between first and third person view.

Commands to add: N/A

Items to add: N/A

How would your suggestion improve the server? Aviation RP has really taken off recently (pardon the pun). At the flying school we have been asking students to climb and descend and perform manoeuvres while maintaining altitude. Essentially, this means that the student needs to use first person view to regularly check the altimeter. First person flying in GTA is, to be honest, a bit poopy; this suggestion gives players a choice whether or not to use it.

Additional information: Thanks for considering!

Good suggestion. Much easier than to change to 1st person view to see the altimeter.

[Blöp]

Oh yes. I suck with this all the time. +++Support from me.

This would make a huge difference in my gameplay, and would overall be a good quality of life improvement.

[Valkyria]

Imperative for anybody even remotely serious in realistic portrayal of aviation roleplay while still keeping it enjoyable.

 

Yes.

[DRUNKY]

Yeah, this would immensely aid in the portrayal of ATC communications and aviation related roleplay. I see no downside to this.

[Planters80mm]

I agree at 1000% l, would make things much much easier when flying.

[joaoivis]

Yeah, would be great, the FP altimeter only goes to 10k feet when other aircrafts can reach 30k feet a precise altimeter on screen would help it. Also ATC can hand flight levels to the aircrafts and they must keep it, I know our skies are not busy to have an in air colision but it would be just a good adition to roleplay.

Absolutely! I'd also add, while doing this: Add the heading? ? 

 

Altitude: position Z value

Heading: Rotation Z value

 

Happy!

[Vladilena]

Agreed! Please add this to the game! Flying needs some more love in this game.
