Hi

I know other things are more important, but hopefully some ideas :

- the 3D player head seen from outside follows actual in-game first person view
- realism is pushed even further (might be unlocked with an option however) such as
- over rev or over boost for long period of times have consequences. Does running the motor constantly at 3000 rpm have any effect for the actual flight in real life ? Or only on engine lifetime ?
- over speed has adverse effects on some systems or aircraft structure
- the a/c systems are not perfect e.g. very seldom, a mechanical failure may occur
- the only informations remaining are those available by gauges and levers i.e. the windows showing pitch/power/rads position is disabled and the a/c system window is silent as well as the information window (the one confirming player actions, gear up, rad open etc ...)
- More systems available e.g. Carb heat, windshield de-icing, magnetos (not auto on). This is for now really too easy compared to reality. Much systems can't be used.

- More environmental interaction, e.g. windshear, stroms, turbulences (most of the time there should be at low layer in windy conditions), icing (even not in cloud particularly for carb, I guess this may happen as power is low e.g. descent as it occurs today for carb planes ? i.e. carb heator must be present for use)
- Near the ground in windy conditions, presence of wind gust and wind shear may be expected
- More typical english weather systems, as I read a test pilot story from Alex Henshaw, He describes the winter time as very bad weather, I think we'd like not things such as fog, stratus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, rain, hail, snow, icing conditions (not every cloud but depending on the type and temperature, eg more typically in cumulus & cunimb at sub zero).
- Cunmulus and especially cunimbe are very bad for the structure, the turb and preence of hail mail very well damage or destroy an airframe and aircraft in mid flight
- Stratus are friendly, small cumulus are not too bad, they are not icing the aircraft at plus zero temperature
- Weather complex layers like ovc low, cunimbe above, cirrus high
- Lower clouds or lower cloud layer may be as low as few hundreds of feet above ground, it may be even lower or touch the summit of some terrain elevations
- Weather does move and change
- There may be presence rain, hail, snow on the ground or in certain regions (inside and under certain clouds)

CoD is promizing, would sound good to push it forward.
