The main reason for including it is that I find that I rarely want to play the
replay from
the cockpit. I'm typically trying to judge how good my 3-point taildragger
landing was,
which is best done from a different view.
I'm guessing most people use replays to see what happened from a different
viewpoint.
As Tom points you, you can change view very quickly. However, we now have a very
large number of different views, and aircraft can (and do) add their own. While
developers
like ourselves are very au-fait with cycling between the views, I think more
in-experienced
users may struggle. Some may not even be aware that other views are available.
Providing a convenient way for the user to select their initial view, and in
particular using
the view names themselves makes things a lot easier.
Note that the drop-down defaults to the currently selected view, so there's no
change in
function if you just press OK.
