@Dan: Just a little suggestion/question

[Delphia]

Hi Dan,

I wonder if you could implement the possibility of using animated gifs in the payloadeditor? Just thought of it because it may look
nice to have passengers/cargo moving into the aircraft or blinking beacons, for example. This gimmick could add to the atmosphere
and bring a little bit more life into the payload dialog, I think.

Maybe you can waste a thought on it?

Wouldn't that be a waste of coding time? I mean how long do you really spend at the payload editing screen? I'm never there for more
than a minute (maybe I'm quick)! I think the default JPEG's are just fine! Who needs blinking lights or something on the payload
screen? I don't think that would add to the ambiance of FSP (as you believe)... I think it would just be ridiculous!

Then again, that's my opinion... we're each entitled to our own!

Hey SWAFO,

that was just a suggestion. No must! If it takes too much time to code, I agree with you, but I wouldn´t go so far and call it ridiculous.

I like the jpgs too and they do fine. But I thought it wouldn´t take much effort to add - well then I can be wrong there...

Anyway, I´m not sad if it can´t be done.

It probably wouldn't take too much time to add, however I just can't justify "nifty" flashing lights, or something else (retractable gear, eh?
lol) on the payload screen. I never spend more than 60 seconds or so on it, and frankly, I think it is ridiculous.

I understand that it's your opinion, and I'm not going to argue (understand that I'm a Marine... I'm as nice as I can be ); however I just
believe it's unnecessary. There are more necessary items that could be added IMHO.
