"I'm a huge fan! Would you consider putting a tool in the sim that would allow players to create custom formations?"
That is great work.
But your request would have to be written like this.
"Oleg, could you write the AI routines so that custom formations of up to wing size can be dictated by the user"

We are talking about the AI routines. Likely the weakest part of IL2, and the most challenging for this new game. Or any game. Each of those bombers has to be assigned gun arcs. Each of them likley have to be assigned a take off slot, master bomber, back up master, etc.

Cool idea, but I think its hitting simulation gaming in its weak spot.
Of course, we cannot see the AI in these screen shots. Who knows at this point how good it will be. Maybe great if it can use Cores of a muli core CPU just for AI.

Again, great idea, well presented.
