So I was speccing one of these games and I tried using FPS camera mode and camera-locking a group of bombers, fighters, and scout planes on an attack run, and I thought it looked really cool. There should be a screen-saver that basically does this, where you can have a small lua script similar to air combat test trace different planes and watch them destroy stuff. I think it would be a badass screen saver.

Use Kernel Panic full installer, then in the singler player menu, click skirmish then spectate: The installer ships with "action finder" widget, so the camera automatically move over interesting spots, and it sometimes trails units too. The single player launcher automatically rerun a new AI battle every time it ends, so it's endless.

A mutator with a widget that exits spring when the mouse moves more than 50pixels combined with a start script and a screensaver that executed it would do the trick

But can we have something a ton simpler, like just a very limited game following *A planes? I wish I could have something that could install into my other screensavers and run / get switched around with them, if that's not asking too much.

Look at what we're saying, we're not talking about something new that we think is better than what you want.

Instead we're talking about how to acquire what you want! AKA what needs to be done to fulfil your request

Another option... Join a CA autohost. When in game, hit esc to bring up the menu. Settings > View > Complete Control Camera and enable follow player cursor. The camera and autoquit widgets will do the rest for you as long as games are going.
