Hi Oleg,

that spitfire cockpit looks absolutely fantastic !

Question: will we be able to move the pilot head (meaning the view point of the player) in the cockpit forward/backward and then lock that position in place ? (still allowing rotation left/right and up/down, as well as lateral leaning to look beside the nose or fuselage of plane, but keeping the forward/backward head position locked)

my reason for asking is this: in the current il2 the default head position does not let you view the mirror while looking straight ahead, unless you set a wider field of view (which then functions as a zoom-out making all distant planes and ships look smaller)

somebody made a small addon prog for il2-1946 which fixes this, it allows you to move the head position of the pilot to be moved slightly back, letting you see the mirror (but the cockpit gauges then look slightly smaller because you are leaning back, which is fine), but it does not change the "field of view" (FoV) setting, so distant objects like planes and ships still look the correct sizes.(i can look up the url if you are not familiar with that little free addon program)

hope you understand what i mean

thanks for all the hard work
