SOW: your thoughts on clickable cockpits and realistic start-up

[Flyby]

Antoninus, you beat me to it. I hope everyone enjoyed those videos. I know I did. The sounds were very good too. Truth be told, I'd have preferred Oleg put time into complex aircraft startup features rather than creating cpu-cycle-sucking ground objects. I noticed that adding the loadout (drop tanks, bombs, etc) caused the landing gear struts to compress under weight. I thought that was a nice feature too. In general, a very well done model. Imagine in SoW having to scramble in Hurris or Spits using a CEM like that. As someone said, if an online server disabled it, well there ya go. But a CHOICE will be very nice. Black Shark has complex engine startup, and those that use it love it. Then there are those who select the less-complex route. Everyone is happy. Sort of like setting the difficulty level in IL2: WonderWoman view, or locked cockpit, and the variations in between.
Let's hope Oleg is already ahead of us on this one. It will be a very nice surprise. Think of all the work to create those very detailed cockpits only to hit the start-engine key, and off you go. Or building those cockpits and not implementing 6dof.whistling.gif
