According to a poll last year in this forum around 40% would like to have clickable cockpits. That's certainly not a tiny fraction of the SOW user base, at least the active hardcore part of it. Clickpits just in some 3rd party planes would be fully ok for me, with Il-2 level complexity they are really a waste of time. Oleg has said that it will be already possible to animate each switch in the VCs, so the amount of work for aircraft modelers is already the same as in sims with clickable cockpits. I assume that Oleg and his team weren't lazy in the last 5 years and already have refined the core features and that we can expect some serious improvements there.

Oleg could as well change his mind one day, if he sees that there is continuous support for this feature over many years and that it could help to increase his customer base. If people just ask for something once followed by silence for years Oleg will naturally think that it is not really important. We don't have to lobby Oleg for an improved AI or offline campaigns, just the less obvious things. If BOB is really close to beta now he might consider which features to add for future incarnations.

With no serious competitor around and especially now after the demise of ACES and the MSFS/CFS series Oleg and SOW are currently the only hope to something as the ultimate combat flight sim one day.
