New equipment requisition for Tower!3D

[futureboy]

Would it be possible, either in this years budget or next year to requisition a new pair of binoculars for Tower!3D? Something in the 100X70 or 200X50 range would be nice. It is really hard to see those planes when they are out on the runway ready for takeoff.

I'm not getting any younger and my cataracts are getting a little worse but not bad enough for the surgery.  I really do not want to retire yet, I just turned 63 and want to wait a couple more years before I start drawing on my Social Security.

Thanks kindly,

Yes, I really do wish that they would allow us to zoom in closer.  The current max zoom level is just not enough.  People have been requesting this since the beginning.

Tower's visual was optimized for this zoom and by adding closer view would bring up some texture issues. If we would use bigger textures then it would cause performance issues... It's a very fine balance and we tried to find the best out of that. We will see if we can add a little more zoom..

Thanks for the explanation.

I second that.  It is nice that the Devs do treat us with a little respect and not as dumb as we look.
