Amazed. I can imagine flying as the aircraft's engineer in multiplayer (it would be great to have someone in a gunner position watching the engines).

The only thing which is conspicuously absent from the list are weapon controls...

I said we show some of controls.
There is way more settings General, Turret, etc....
I think for today is enough to discuss just these two screens (it is really just 2 screens Keys and Axis for aircraft)

Thank you again!

Fantastic update again...so much info just in those first screens alone.

I can't say how pleased I am to see fuel selectors in there...and radio frequencies too. Hope there's a battery switch too so we can prepare for emergency landing. Any chance of fuel booster pumps being modelled in future?

I can't believe the spiral trails on those tracers haven't been mentioned yet! Also look at the way those contrails merge so naturally, great stuff. The distorted and lifting skin on that damaged defiant wing is very nice too.

Great work guys. This title will set so many new standards. It looks so amazing.

Hi,

I've have a question, suggestion ... will it be possible to have the aircraft reference while in flight (even better while pausing the game)?

To explain the reason I ask, I'm not a plane specialist but I do like the realistic settings so when in flight, I'm constantly alt-tabbing between a browser and the game to remember when I need to switch the turbo charger and so on ...

In IL-2 I always spend a lot of time searching the web for all the reference for the aircraft I want to fly and then it's time to go to bed without even being airbone .

Also, I don't have (I know I should ...) a trackIR, when in cockpit view, I cannot glance easily on the 'ball' of the plane to keep it centered, will there be a way to have the main instrument visible at all time?

Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.

This is a good idea for new pilots. To have a key where we swith to a screen with references of the aircraft we are flying. Especially interesting if we use the QMB and choose an aircraft randomly without knowing much about it.
It could also be made that by pressing a key, or key combination, it appears on the screen the important technical info required to fly the aircraft, like altitud required to change supercharger stage, if it haves de-icing system, aircraft or engine limitations, and so on.

Like it for newbies!
