I will definitely find a use for this! My guess is in 3 to 5 years as far as my mapping goes but it's added to the repository.

Actually, can this be used for Assault map ending screens? I'd see some nice FlyBys over there.

Wait ...you can use this at the beginning of the map??

in any time. Mapper decision. Even for one player, not for all. Also this thing can be based for move player.
For example Player enter into "ship" and fly from point A to point B.
