I have something, I do not know whether it deserves to be put on the "bucket list" so if others think it is a worthwhile improvement please comment so.

Have an option to disallow the "nearest enemy external view" (the shift/ctrl-F2 option which shows your plane relative to the enemy).

Due to the great graphics of the game it is a real pity for those flying "full real" not being able to enjoy the nice views. But in most servers people prohibit external views because especially the "nearest enemy external view" gives an unrealistic advantage during dogfight.


It is just an idea, do not add it yet to the list before we can see if others share the same view.

~S~

As would "no outside view unless dead".

He said the 'M' word.

Are we really going to go down the IL-2 1946/UP3 "lets split the community" route or is this 'M' something else?

Think he means for the forum MODerators to make the thread a 'sticky'.:)

Mods is not a dirty word..
If we were all presented with a realistic sound mod that covered the whole rpm range, and didn't interfere with online integrity, 99.9% of us would gladly use it..

Nope, it ain't. Tried it in bed just now but didn't do anything to the missus. :(

Try giving her the maximum amount of revs mate..

I'm +40. That would break a piston or sum. No good. 4psi MAXIMUM. I'll do 1800 with coarse/lean for about an hour. Dunno about her but that'll get me where I'm going. :rolleyes:

Got some 100 octane bluepills that'll let me go into wep but that's for special occasions. ;-)

The ability to land and rearm/gas up take off again would be nice.

I agree about making the gunsights usable, but i disagree with disabling the head movement range restriction because it's actually not about the head alone but the pilot's whole body.

Maybe just redo it in a more realistic manner as it tries to simulate a very real constraint:
either tighten your straps and have a solid sight picture without bouncing around in high G maneuvers, or loosen your straps and trade stability of vision for the ability to turn your body around more within the cockpit and get better SA.

The easiest way to fix this is to copy the RoF method and just let the player set a custom center viewpoint for each aircraft.
