Basically it is a compromise for the online community who would not enjoy spending ten to twenty minutes going through realistic starts up procedures.

Sorry mate, everybody that posted afte rme is an On line Onlly il2 pilot, as well as me. Some of us just want a little extra condiment, for our on line coops.
I seat infront of my compter to pretend I am a WWII Pilot, not to learn how to win in a new game with planes in a DF arena...

You talk about not wanting to wait till my flight is ready to take off.. Well its the same argument for taxiing and taking off instead of caranking WEP at 110% and just take off on the grass on the heading you apear in the game...
Then aggain, why even wait to take off?...

That argument is not consistent. If you can wait to taxi and take off, you can also wait 5 minutes to turn on your engine.. You cna go Black Sharks way wicth has a compleatlly cold star but has a switch taht will enable the IA to turn the helicopter on for you. In an on line session that ,means a little time to coordinate the mission via TS or the like...
By the way the shark doesn´t take more than a couple of minutes to be ready to fly.. and its a bit more complex than a WWII machine...

I am not talking about waiting 20 minutes ti´ll the plane is ready, I mean flicking a few more swithces that actually do something usefull, not like magnetos on il2. And if that is how its going to be, Well GRATE! thas all we are asking for...

About transfering fuel. Man that should be mandatory. It is damage modeling too, and even better, damage control modeling....witch to me is as important as balistics on cannons and machingunes or rates of turn... The ability to conserve and save fuel was the diifference between a hot bunk or a cold trench if luky, out in the enemies side of the lines... and what made self sealing tanks such and important feacture in late WWII fighters adn bombers. Also dictated doctrine, on witch tanks to use first in order to gain an advantage with your plane....

And A friend asked me to ask, so here is an easy to answer question: Is data going to be managed like in Il2 via a .TXT log? The reason I ask is becouse lots of campaigns n line use that that a to create a dynamic world and ot would be grate if SOW series used a simmilar way to extract information about what hapened in a givne mission. Specialy to be able to control tournament missions and stuff like on lien wars...

Thank you in advance.
