They can for sure....I know that they are working on a new game like BOB, but after 6 years of IL2 history, 6years of money spent for games and patch, 6 years of faith...we deserve 6dof!


Look at Grand Prix Legends, one of the most appreciated and used game in multyplayer...the game has changed completely with patch, add-ons and of course 6dof....6dof for a 1998 game!

Look at Aces High 2...When u zoom to the cockpit you can see some modelling errors, but viewing around here is so natural and beauty..!!

Even Falcon 4.0 and Lockon after years...with the latest patch and versions has got 6dof now! it seems that it lacks only at the great IL2 community
From my understanding and of course I could be wrong.. but it is not as easy as turning it on or inserting the degrees... 6DoF works because.. and this is so simple as to just zoom by... there is something that is drawn and modeled in the space behind whatever object you are looking around. If nothing is drawn there.. then thats what you will see... some cockpits were designed after 6Dof came out.. or maybe they were just drawn with more polys ... but some weren't... I never met OM but from what I can see the man is picky. He doesn't want to let something that is not up to his standards be released in his sim. Thats why when we did get some new planes a while back... 1C had to redo a lot of the cockpits because they were not up to snuff. Granted there are some gauges that dont work in all planes...... and yeah.. we don't have 6DoF... but to expect the man to "give us 6Dof" or just "turn it on... we dont mind how bad it looks" is like expecting a one armed man to play a violin. It isn't going to happen. Perhaps in the future 1C will release something to give this sim more freedom... I dont know.... and I really don't care because even though I am not happy with everything about this sim I am happy with most thinsg about it... and the things I dont like.... well I deal with....
