Gilly,
sorry but I checked your link and could not find what you meant about MAC posting something alike. Can you please post direct link. It was very useful in answering some questions I had regarding plane skins

thanks
** Also, in time I think it would be necessary to transfer this thread to the official Birds of Steel Forum but for now I'd rather have it here
Hicks-81,
Some of us would prefer hardcore settings but others are not really ready for them, so I dont know yet what the settings will be as my intention is to get the entire community to participate. Back when Ace of Aces Tournament was running Mac suggested the idea to create a tournament that included Arcade, Realistic, and SIM. I am trying to see if I can make this idea work without mixing the difficulty settings.
About Squadrons,
I dont know if its a good idea to start creating them yet, because like before some will not show up once the game is released

This is why there will be a Reserves Flight for each squadron, this is where new pilots will start once Squadrons are created. Also, this is where Flight Group deserters will end up if they fail to participate in matches or where "traitors" will want to go if they have a change of heart (those who want to change Squadron Teams). Flight Leaders will have the power to boot wingmen that dont participate if it is approved by the Squadron Leader. If a Squadron Leader or Flight leader fails to do their job then they also could be voted out by team members and a new leader must be voted in.
Nothing is for certain yet, Im just throwing out ideas.
