Altimeter and pitch indicator for flying dragons.
Pitch indicator would help for efficient flying, by letting a dragon know when it's parallel to the ground.
Altimeter would mostly just be neat, and addable(maybe) to the the current co-ord listings in the compass.
They would just need to publish height coord. Altimeter? I'd say eye ball it based upon the height. Pitch would be nice though, I use scroll button a lot to free look and can never level out as you can after logging in.
Tip: The "recenter camera" keybinding (numpad 5 by the classic defaults) will zero out your fly tilt.Quote:

Nice idea. Even if it was just adding the altitude to the existing compass w/ co-ords would be nice. Then we could figure out if we were flying level by watching the altitude.
A very basic pitch indicator could be gained by taking a delta of your height each time your coordinate is updated, this would give you a +/- value of how fast you're ascending or descending.
