[McHilt]

Oh yeah, friday again...
I am very pleased with the information disclosed in this update!
Great... and thanks guys.

I like it. Its simple but good looking.

One suggestion if I may, now there is bright letters on dark background, can we have also as choice the opposite variant, with dark letters on the brighter background?

For some people it is more visible that way.

Carburetor = American spelling
Carburettor = UK spelling
And as this sim is about the Battle of Britain...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor

EDIT: another spelling thingie
'Toggle Horizontal Stablizier' should be 'Toggle Horizontal Stabilizer' or (again English spelling) 'Stabiliser'
and
'Assigment List' should be 'Assignment List'

some will be corrcted. Its also why it is posted.

I'm sorry but I refuse to release a game with planes that have a "carburettor" and an "airscrew" and an "empennage".

The project is now canceled.

Boulton Paul Defiant! Marvelous.

I'm most excited about the new layers of aircraft and engine controls!!!!!!!!

Altimeter set, etc.....

I was so curious over the years, as to what additional detail in aircraft control, intrumentation, pilot interaction with the cockpit and FM - that you've answered with these shots, Oleg!!!!

As 4.0 patch in Il2 was a dream come true to me - what you've done in SOW is just astounding.

Coupled with clickable controls in the cockpit - you have certainly taken the State-of-the-Art to previously unimaginable levels!

This is going to be the "High-Mark" for all flight simulators - not just combat flight simulators - but ALL flight simulators.

THANK YOU!

+1 for U.K. spellings! (all previous sims that I can remember used U.S.)

Full real is going to take on a whole new meaning . VERY informative update. This is the closest thing I have seen to a flight simulator which is also a combat simulator! Impressive. With all realistic settings, there is going to be a big learning curve. I only hope that AI pilots are not "perfect" when it comes to managing all of these systems and that some time delays are built in to simulate thie flipping of switches and such.

Thank you!

PS....I can already see all of the "what happened" posts on here after release. "Why did my engine sputter and stop when I cut power back?" lol. I am so looking forward to this sim.
