Question for Oleg...............
For home pit builders SOW needs two things IL2-1946 does not have.
1) Option gun sight, nose and propeller view. In IL2-1946 the F1 key toggles the options of Cockpit, no cockpit etc. But those who are sitting in a physical (or home made) cockpit need only to see the gun sight, the nose of the aircraft, wings and the propeller, where the instrument panel and floor normally are should just be blacked out when looking down. And this view needs to have its own keystroke command to activate it (no toggle from one view to the next).
2) Physical Instrument \ gauge compatibility.
There are more and more people these days taking flight simulation to the next level, building pits around thier favorite sim. IL2 and SOW are hands down the best flight sims available with the exception of the fore mentioned!
FSX has made these features available, I believe it is the EXTRA 3005 that has the nose and prop view and pysical instruments are readable by the ms sim.
Oleg, will you, or have you considered these options for pit-builders?
for more info....
