It should also be noted that Cessnas (or passenger jets for that matter) are not WWII fighters. The design requirements, performance and air/ground handling are quite a bit different.

Don't land a WWII fighter like a jet on a trap. Keep the nose low (even a negative pitch), then pull out so as to skim the runway. Make sure you end up close to stall speed and within a metre of the ground, only then can you throttle down and assume a positive angle of attack.

TD,

Thank you for the update as always.

Quick question on AI visibility changes - does it include blind spot on a plane?

For example, can the player be easily spotted if s/he approach, say, a lone rookie AI fighter plane from six o'clock below; or if bouncing it from 'out of the sun'?

Thanks again,

Team Daidalos, you guys rock big time. The AI seeing thru clouds was always the thorn in my IL2 side. It's a game changer having that sorted.

And you're setting a good model for the client side of software development.

Keep up the good work!

PS What Ben asked: Will there be blind spots for AI aircraft? Being able to do genuine bounces on AI aircraft would be superb.
