Funny, the sim veterans are getting as old as the WW2 veterans we watch in the History channel documentaries.

We have here a pilot in 3rd Assault squadron of our Virtual Group, he was born on 1939... And still good enough to be good tankbuster and even shoots Messers with his Il-2

Luthier, my criticism was directed at the misguided and silly law, not you. Then again, we have our share of silly laws here in the States too, no? lol

Fingers crossed that you all are still on schedule.

If somebody wanted a pretext to go after 1C, the courts would interpret it whichever way was needed. And not only would 1C be slapped with a huge fine that would dwarf any potential profits from BoB, the actual actors, most likely myself and / and Oleg, could look at a prison sentence.

So can we please close this subject once and for all?

Hi, Staff

A little idea for the Clickable Cockpit(May be a digression, But I can't find the former Sticky Q&R SOW thread):
Perhaps, SOW series can support touchscreen technology when in a Clickable Mode.

Regards.

O-O-O-O-O-O! And maybe the instrument panel could be sent to a second screen as well? This would be a great feature for pit builders. (granted only if all this wouldn't cut into development time)
