Cheers and thanks again

Glad they've been useful. Whatever doesn't come in the Storm of War manual will soon be covered by the community, and a book will rarely better video to demonstrate how-to instructions IMHO, especially for beginners.

Thanks for another nice update - very interesting and a welcome change from "yet another burning plane"

I'm also curious about the scripting possibilities, i.e. how much the behaviour of objects can be influenced and what triggers there are. Would be great to have fine control over the AI through the mission files through scripts. But I guess we'll all find out soon.

As for the interface, there is a certain complexity in mission making you cannot design away, but for sure the Il2 editor did have some drawbacks (no copy and paste, no filtering of lists etc.). It looks like at least some of those issues have been taken care of, and as long as that is the case I couldn't care less about how slick the interface looks.
