:) Don't underestimate that.Alot of people will like to try that .If it is a good enough sim combat won't always have to be flown,it is quite nice doing a leisurely start up and low level fun /navigating for the hell of it flying.
May i enquire again on the accuracy of the synthetic sound samples ,will the engines sound like those they represent. :)
Thanks

Luthier,

Id like to ask whether weather will further weather weathering?

:-P

As soon this game is out im getting it no question asked, this game is the future.
The way we have il2 maxed out im sure they'l have problem making it look,feel alot better than we can ever imagine.To those that say there's jaged edges in the pictures c'mon think about it this is 2011,same peeps about the tracers c'mon, im pretty sure the can make'm alot better than il2

Good luck Oleg and co with your game.

Ps:I loved to be able to get collector's Edition

Everyone else does them as gimmicks. What you see is just a simple sequence of "press button A to press button B to press button C to press button D to enable pressing Start Engine." They don't model the individual systems involved. Neither do we, and we don't want to pretend that we do. We don't do gimmicks.

All the hotspots in our cockpit work. All the controls are animated. You can set fuel cock levers and work the priming pump and flick the magnetos and all. Do that if you like, or don't. We feel that most people will only try that once, if at all.

The systems we do model are crucial however. Watching the gauges and controlling mixture, prop pitch and radiator is essential. Our office is obviously filled with Il-2 online veterans, and for a while we could only play online with Complex Engine Management disabled completely. We could barely fly the Spitfire, and the 109 not at all. We fly with CEM on now, but we still to this day fly with Overheating disabled because damn it is hard!

I would definitely use it as much as I can.Thanks for adding the option for those of us who are interested in it.This is the most informative thread so far thanks a lot Ilya for answering our questions.

Hi Oleg & Ilya,

Thanks for your time over the last few days on the forum. Just a quick question regarding the 109 screenshots: Will kills be automatically recorded on the rudders or will there be an option to do so without resorting to skinning?
Thanks.

The weathering looks amazing, subtle and very effective, and this picture is seriously tempting me to reconsider choosing mainly to fly the Spitfire :)

I notice the option of kill markings, is this applicable to other aircraft or just the 109?

Also, do these markings track how many kills you get in campaign mode?
