Thank you Oleg, impressive cocpit detais.

[Chiz]

Really impressive! Thanks so much for sharing. I can't wait to get my hands on it! The hard work of you and your team will pay off handsomely

Wowsers, those are amazing! I have a feeling I'm gonna be losing a lot of sleep when this comes out..

Thanks Oleg

That is sad no first person avatar or maybe these are remotely operated. Can you say UAV

Really we have more important things to finalize.

Anyway, this update is just to show who is who

Realistically if we dont see our self when we look around in the cockpit (legs and hand on stick) we shouldnt see reflections of a pilot either. Why show a reflection of something thats not there?? If your going to have our pilots reflection than we should see arms and legs as well controlling the plane.
Its kinda retarded to have one and not the other.

Fantastic cockpits but so glad that Oleg has said that they are pre-rendered, because what nobody seems to have noticed that they are not reflections! the brake is on the wrong side and so is the pilots hand unless he's flying left-handed.
But if it's pre-rendered that it will be fairly simple to correct.
Sorry to sound negative but someone had to say it.

I was always short of hardware sliders in IL2 (I have one on the joystick and the other is my mousewheel) and so had to revert to an incremental keypush system to operate my prop-pitch. This had disastrous results in the German planes on full-real however, because unless you were the world champion of the 1980's PC game called Decathlon, keypresses were nowhere near fast enough to stop the engine from over-revving and inevitably seizing. Of course the allied aircraft were far more forgiving.

If we're able to do this on-screen with a mouse drag then I'm one even happier camper.

I use a free program that's called JoyToKey, for example I use button 3 & 4 on my joystick to zoom in & out in a smooth fashion. Button three corresponds with pressing the letter O (zoom Out) 25 times per second and 4 does I (zoom In), again 25 times per second.
You can program to use this with prop pitch as well and of course set any repeat rate you might want.

Ehhhh, what? I guess you are only trying to be funny. Fact is that a lot of the really stunning games today are made by people from the FORMER eastern Europe. I guess this is a topic we should not discuss anymore...
