Wow, this update is really incredible! As I said to a friend, it sounds like you guys are raising the bar, loading it into a cannon, and firing it into orbit!
I especially like that you'll offer even more detailed start-up procedures and cockpit controls...

It sounds like we'll have our hands full! So... I really, really,
really hope that we'll get descriptive, interactive
tutorials! Like, have a narrator highlight the various controls, tell you what they do, and let you click them in order!
In IL2, the tutorials were just movies, and it was hard to find info on engine functions. I bet
many new 109 pilots damaged their engines and never knew that they had to engage the MW50 at low power and
then WEP and afterwards drop the power and
then turn off the MW50. ...or maybe they didn't realize that you had to set the supercharger to the next stage at a particular altitude or else you'd lose power and your engine would run rough.
It'd be great to have a flight-school with an in-game narrator to go over what prop-pitch, radiator flaps, mixture, magnetos, etc, etc, etc, do and when you'd want to use each... It'd probably help break the ice for newbies trying to get into a complicated and daunting simulator.
