Each their own believes .. Now think about this when connecting to HL i see 85 % of peoples connected to open cockpits + icons on etc.. servers... i found this personally insulting and outrageous.. but some peoples like to use this software to fly open pits since they use and did built their own at home, this make sens but.. just looking around with nothing to block your views or able to see icons with tags on it to me it's worse than the mods by far.
I'm for the closed pit no icons and full FUUULL engine management.. is it a sim or not ?

Now
Lucky we are to have a
Host settings controls... isn't it? we just need some kind of controls for this problem
Online I guaranty one big overnight success for this product and a longer life for IL2 if this is made. The best of both world.. This will in one case satisfy th purist files guys and the others.. This will make members coexist in peace and a lots of fun for all, and maybe some mod will be able to bring IL2 to a higher Simulator status.
