HI,
Yeah it will do that!..what you need to do is enlarge the model visualy. To do this press 'e' when in the sim then goto plane setup (it defaults to this i think) then change the visual scale to about 2 or 3. The model will look twice as big and make life alot easier to keep it in sight!!
Have Fun

Btw G2 is better than most in this aspect and most other aspects too!!
