there are several specific technical reasons for those factors, and many long term il2 folks will know the reasons for this, and i think you can be fairly safe oleg has programmed BoB for widescreen resolutions rather then 5:4 or 4:3 ratio's
for the "cockpit vs wonderview question" (and having a new version of wonderview requested from oleg), thats again another thread you can start. keeping threads mainly focused on one topic (if you want oleg's attention drawn to it and have a chance of getting him to respond, which often he does), then the more articulate and specific you can be the better (with illustrations and examples even if possible, like the person who recently posted the opaque wonderview dials did)) |
Thanks for your suggestion Zap,
I will try my luck for tomorrows update... I know that Olegs reads that... At least until the endless debates on menutia gets into full swing... I have prepared a few screenshots to highlight my points as you suggested... I hope to get an answer from the man himself. Take care. Mat
