I've had this for a longer time... I even remember firing up the old Il-2 and having this issue, just because I clicked my desktop while it was still loading.

As for the score system... it really has to be sophisticated. I've had some "ideas" saved somewhere in a txt file if I'm not mistaken. When I find them, I could put them in here.

I don't think so... but the amount is increasing as it's getting harder and harder to get 5:4 or even a 4:3 screen.

And please get around the issue that FOV is defined by the width which basically means the wider the screen, the less you see. Wide resolutions do NOT add FOV to the left/right, but they substract FOV at the upper and lower edges. If you've got a display with Pivot function, try it out at 1200x1920 instead of 1920x1200 and you'll see what I mean. I've still got some images showing the issue in a 9:16 resolution:

I've been trying hard in the QMB to get a Revi Fokker with no luck. Is it possible to get it at all? I always end up with the scope sight, no matter what.

3) Fighter AI – appear to automatically detect player’s presence behind them when at relatively close proximity, even in their blind spot (e.g. lower six o’clock position). It is difficult to surprise the AI regardless of experience level

4) AI can see through cloud and is not affected by low visibility environment

5) AI chooses forest and town to belly land instead of road or relatively flat area

I second that. I dug out the good old Aces of the Pacific for some "instant action" and even there it's possible to sneak up sometimes. That's 17 years old. But hey, I shot down Nishizawa in a single CAP mission twice. That made me rofl. Not even Chuck Norris could do that
