Asheshouse, your idea would lead to even lazier flying habits than we have now, would you change seats through an entire squad as you were repeatedly shot down?

Lancelot, the only music I hope to hear is that of the Merlin or the DB601, besides you'll be too busy in Bob to be listening to Vera Lynn, lol!

If you want music just run a 3rd party program in windows while playing, i don't see any reason why music should be on in any way, since it would just be a distraction.

But from time to time, people might just like to put on authentic music or heavy metal/rock or something totally badass and kick some ass :), but
this is all done client-sided with our own tools/programs, nothing that should be apart of the product in anyway (my opinion).

I just hope they use Vera Lynn in the title track.

It's really the only thing that is appropriate.

My 1 pence...
 

More historical immersion:

1. The view from the cockpit to be a view with using eye glasses - I mean glasses and oxygen mask restricting your view from the cockpit. We see in Il2 that the pilot is wearing glasses and oxygen mask when flying up to 3000 meters altitude, but the view is not restricted anyway in Il2.

2. Possibility to jump safely from taxiing aircraft when attacked on the airfield.

3. To walk over Your one aircraft - walking on the wings, walking on the motor, going around the aircraft on the field, and looking at the holes at the fuselage after the air combat.

4. Ability to control the pilot on the ground by the joystick - lay down, jump, run - left - run right, walk, etc.

5. Dolphines and orcas in to the ocean.

6. Flyable Fw-200 Condor!!!

7. Ability to make nice photos with your personal camera in to the cockpit - black and white of course for your personal album!

~S!

If you think your view isn't restricted enough in front of your monitor, think again!

This is already available in IL-2 (or any other air combat sim) - buy yourself a pair of goggles!

I have already 'said in my previous posts maybe I have but I ignored a clear idea of how the simulator must have one.

the war is based on the numbers on the mathematical numbers:

and mathematically each airport must have a fair amount of reconnaissance and fighter-bombers and carriers the number of these resources continues the same as the airport the airport needs to fuel weapons food men and equipment.

the airport must have a hospital network of roads and rail links for refueling.

the airport must have a good defense.

I'm just talking about a cell of a united whole through logical and mathematical processes with the right criteria.

the cell in question and the airport before moving to a port in a city 'an entire nation around a region in order mathematically it all together as if there were a consequence of the events and happenings concatenated.


if I have an unlimited number of planes at random without even understand the value and cost of a plane and its mortgage MAINTENANCE whole game will be unrealistic.

Not sure if already mentioned as have not read all 28 pages, but when you are returning from a mission and your aircraft has been heavily damaged over hostile territory and you are loosing altitude it would be good to be able to dump weight. Maybe excess fuel, guns, ammo etc.

WW II bombers would sometimes dump weapons, ammo, and anything else they could in such situations. I don't think they could dump fuel. In a fighter, there isn't much you can do, beyond getting rid of external stores - and you can do that already in IL-2.

Id like to see a random explosion like this one (specifically at 3:07!!) when you hit a vessel carrying ordinance or fuel etc

Check out this explosion @3:07 from machine gun fire on a small vessel : (u may have click the link above the video)
