Thanks!!! I'd forgotten about that great site.

I found:

http://www.insideksc.cjb.net:8081/wwwroot_45/DIVX/sts-113/STS-113.LandingReplay.PPOV.avi

It's not from HAC intercept, but I'll take it, anyway. :)

Slightly better quality but much shorter footage from:

http://www.insideksc.cjb.net:8081/wwwroot_45/DIVX/sts-112/STS-112.Landing.edit.avi

Pretty neat. In one of the two, I see what looks like some wind
correction, though I'm not quite sure -- appears to be a slight crab
angle before straightening up on short final.

I saw 'OGS' in one of the videos, so I wondered. Found definition at:

http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/facts/acronym.txt

OGS = Orbiter GlideSlope.

I wondered about this one because in the other video, I only see 'CSS'
(control stick steering -- 'manual' flying by CDR, typically) but not OGS.

It also appears to have pretty good UI (user interface) design, as you'd
expect. For instance, it removes much of the visual 'clutter' on the HUD
below 5000 ft and pretty much only shows airspeed, altitude, the FPV
(flight path vector), and status bar messages.

Also appears to remove even more items after weight on wheels (touchdown).
Nifty.
