Yep. My point is that it's a pleasure having fans developing for IL2, rather than a company. For so long fans were told "this isn't possible" when what Oleg and company really meant is "it isn't profitable enough."
While I'm awed by what Oleg and 1c did with the IL2 series - it was light years of any other combat flight sim out there when it was released - I don't like being lied to.
Anyhow, my comment wasn't meant to criticize your request. I think it's possible and it's certainly a good idea. To look at it a different way, a mod which allows the bomber commander to hand off control of the plane could also be used to allow a player bombardier to take control of the plane using the Norden bomb site or similar device, or for a player copilot to take control from an AI lead pilot (or vice-versa).
Tweak the idea slightly, and you could have the same mod allow human-crewed bombers to pass control around. For example, player 1 (in pilot position) gets killed, so player 2 could take over. This would simulate things like the Flight Engineer, Navigator or Bombardier (who often had some flight training) shoving the pilot's body out of the seat and taking over the controls.
