Heat blur from jet engine exhaust of aircraft is overlaid on top of the HUD. I've tested this using the Heat Blur setting in High and Low. High and Low show the same distortion of HUD. Currently it looks like the HUD is located behind the jet engine exhaust, so that light emitted by the HUD is distorted by the heat. I believe the distortion effect from heat shouldn't effect the HUD. This can be replicated by placing any aircraft jet engine exhaust in front of the HUD of any aircraft. I haven't tested this effect on all heat sources and all HUDs.

If the community wants CA to have FPS capability then the least ED can do is make it possible for the community to create mods to make this a reality. This way ED can be productive elsewhere while creating potential for an FPS. Similarly for Sea combat where players can control ships and submarines. All that's needed is some modification to the game engine from the side of ED, so that the community can create mods allowing it to happen.

That would be a nice feature, especially with a setting allowing for selection of themes, and a timer for the rotation.

I think a cinematic editor would be a brilliant addition to DCS. Not only to make recordings easy to edit, but also to bring low budget film studios to use the simulator. Some of the features I'd expect to see have to do with camera positioning, both static in space or attached to an object with option to change position, angle, zoom, and to follow other objects.
