I think when people ask about gauges, they probably mean the more obscure ones. The main gauges worked in IL2 as well, so i think that the question mainly concerns things like ammeters and not RPM or manifold pressure gauges. To be honest i'm very interested to see how far they go with that. Since we've been told that all sorts of things will be modelled individually inside each aircraft and possibly have their own DM, we are going to need working gauges for the respective systems to see if and when something goes wrong.

For example, a malfunctioning electricity system might take out the gun heaters, resulting in guns jamming at high altitude, etc. Actually i'm more excited with the possibility of discovering new ways to screw up and die online than any other aspect of the sim






That's an add-on that consists of improved clouds, runway textures and markings as well as water textures. I fly FSX on a friend's PC every now and then and it's true that it gives some awesome clouds. The interesting part is that these clouds are not 100% computer-generated. They are made from real photos and by real i mean non-digital because they wanted to be able to enlarge them at will without being limited by the resolution of a digital camera, so they took real photos that they could enlarge without loss of quality and then imported them by scanning them. They burned some serious amount of film for that add-on
I got you there about the screwing up. I liked when Forgotten Battles first came out how you had to keep track of you fuel mixture otherwise your tank was empty in a very short time. The oxygen thing will be fun. The more complicated and realistic the better I say. But it should and will I'm sure be simple to turn from realistic to beginner mode. I've actually got a CD where a pilot goes threw the start up of a 109. How many pumps on the prime and so forth so I'm ready
