I don't know about the latest version of Falcon for the Mac (2.2?), but I've
never seen any outside view-option in my Falcon (2.0) I've seen the Amiga
version, and it's much better. It's no big deal to land at all. In the
Mac-version, I've always have to make a reapproach or two to make a proper
landing. Something that's not too easy to do when you've only some fumes left
of your fuel storage and a mig in your tail...
