TARDIS (Legacy)

ANOTHER Different Physical Flight Method (Request)
I posted an idea awhile back and i thought of a different way to do this. The directional pointer could be used to turn the TARDIS. what i mean by this is the way you intend the TARDIS to go, because youd see the spinning world and thats a little hard to fly in. On the camera monitor WITHOUT PRESSEING E ON IT you would see the view of the extierior light and the camera would be showing you the same direction as the directional pointer. The directional pointer if you pressed and HOLD "e" your screen would lock so you could move your mouse while still looking at the directional pointer, if you move your mouse left or right then the directional pointer would turn as much as you move your mouse left or right. (Example if i kept moving my mouse to the left the directional pointer would just keep on spinning) Then just let go of E and your screen would go unlocked. You could make it so the unused pully lever thing could be a toggle to go forward or stop. All youd need to do is add a way to go up and down.

So Ill give you an example of how you would fly it step by step beccause i know that is a little confusing.
Step1 I would turn on flightmode Step2 I would then turn the directional pointer to the direction i wanted to go Step3 I would look at the camera monitor (again just glance at it Not pressing E) to see if anything is in my way or such Step4 I Then would pull the unsed pulley lever step5 if some way was added i would go up or down if needed.

And SHABAM flight from inside the TARDIS.

i would love this feature to be in the update, as it would give a new level of difficulty for those who want to fly the tardis without use of pilot mode. This will also provide the feel of how the doctor flies the tardis within the show. i hope doctor matt will include in his next update.

Yea i love the feeling of flying like the doctor does in the show, it so cool to show your friends the addon and start doing everything you possibly can and they have no idea whats going on, and just see you running around the console doing everything, but back on topic yes having this in the addon would be abselutely awesome! this is probably my most wanted feature other than flashy lights in the Interior walls and ceiling lol

Would it be possible to code the TARDIS to be able to fly to locations saved to the typewriter? (Not like demat-remat, I mean like physically target the area, even if it does fly into things on the way)

thats an awesome idea, but what would you do about things like buildings or stuff thats just in the way youd get stuck

I suppose you could add some kind of code that would try to find a way aroun, but what if your thing is set underground

Why couldnt you just teleport?

good point but maybe you can record a way 2 get there than the tardis memorizes itbut if u r not in that exact location ur tardis will fly straight there even if buildings in way or y can make it 2 where there is programing where the tardis cant go 2 close 2 a certain area or thing
