Oleg!
How did your son go in his training?

Please ask him to go easy on me if he finds me online!


Cheers!

PS. My son (6 yrs old) often sits on my knee as co-pilot when I'm flying!

Maybe this could be a future mod - selecting a message to ask the way and getting an answer from them ....Farmer: 'carry on for 3 miles, then turn left at the crossroads'.

We will need a compass in the car!

No! Just a list of pubs between departure point and destination!

"Drive down thar , passed the 'Fiddling Monkey' upto the 'Prince o'wales', carry on for a mile or two t' the 'Rampant Otter', then it's but a mile or two t' the RAF Base!"

He got sick... yesterday. So we didn't fly with him.
I'm at home with him today, its why I'm answering at the moment.
He is sleeping right now.

By the way the He-162 is one of my all time favourite aircraft both in and out of the game and with Canon’s skins is a real joy to look at as well, although I must admit most of my in game play is dedicated to ground attack (with the odd bomber intercept thrown every now and again) and with a slight lean towards the aircraft of the axis, so I am now eagerly awaiting 4.10 so I can get my hands on the Hs-129 .

On that note it would be nice to see the Hs-123 and the Hs-126 in SOWBOB however I guess we may have to wait until the series heads east again for those two planes.

Yes as I posted earlier, I'd like to know as well?

I read this as next month will be a very important time for us, with a release date announcement for SOW as well...correct?

Sorry Oleg you beat me to it.

So what is he trainig on and what's his favourite?

1. Not sure if this has been asked, but please can we have the option to display units in feet or metres? This would be in the speedbar, AI speech, gun convergence etc. In IL2, we are fixed with metres only?

2. Also, with the speech, it would be great if the term 'angels' was used, as it was in 1940 e.g. "climb to angels 10" = "climb to 10,000 feet"

Cheers

...Just to say a word..
I like so much Mr Oleg is so loquacious and inclined to conversation!!!
It seems more relaxed, maybe SOW is really near to come!

Thanks again Oleg for your work and your interacting with us
Keep up!!! Great update!

Excellent news Oleg, thank you so much . Now, it's Saturday, so please stop working soon and have a rest!!

I see a problem if everyone can set the colour to how they want it...we might get some very strange looking user-made skins and objects that won't blend well with the rest of the game. Maybe it is a feature that can wait.

Oleg - I hope your son gets well soon.
