Boys, once I just looked at the pilot figure in Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator, and I was astonished - the pilot got even BODY LANGUAGE! It was unbelievable! The pilot was nervous...he was doing completely human movements, hes behavior was just human behavior.

Do a little reading (and stop getting history from movies) combat pilots would carry hand guns in the event that their plane was going down in a flaming wreck. The idea was that if a pilot was trapped and facing a painful drawn out death they could end it quick... also, before pilots had parachutes they would shoot themselves instead of burn-up...sometimes the handgun was also used as a means of escape (but not the way you think), if the pilot had trouble with the canopy he could use it to break the perspex..


p.s. I'll make a little side bet...Oleg will never develop "SoW" into a FPS...
