Hi everyone,
For sure I won't use the clickable cockpit option (I've tried in other games but I can't stand the micro movement of my TIR) but I would like to be forced to use the instruments during the flight/fight more than we do in IL2.

Infact I would like to not have the istant alert on screen (overheat!, flap jammed, ect);

There were many little episodes that could you make you lose SA: for example there is an chapter in "The big show" where the author was to kill a 190 when he had an issue with the gunsight: after he manually checked it the german was gone until he found it behind himself.

So it would be nice if Oleg had found out a good compromise; swearing against a little moving arrow because your head keep moving and you can't aim correctly is not really realistic, but at the same time controlling the entire airplane controls without having to search them with your eyes is not really realistic too.

The right thing should be, IMO, that is you press a particular control that is needed to be ID on the cockpit panel (so not the controls on stick nor the throttle) then your sight will automatically move on the controls for 1 or 2 seconds after the key has being pressed.

In that 1-2 seconds you could have lost sight with the enemy. So more advance planes who don't need switching between 20 levers to stay inflight (chargers, mixtures ect) could take an real advantage even ingame.

I wish Oleg could take in consideration this idea for the next step on the SoW engine.

Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
