And as for the effects - I'm not the one to judge them from a technical POV but I don't think they follow official guidelines and limits so they'd have to be reworked if not redone from scratch to fit the limits DT works with.

Could a toggle for "3rd Party Sounds" be added to the sound settings, perhaps with a disclaimer stating something like "By enabling this, you (the user) take full responsibility for copyright infringement in the use of 3rd party sound samples"? When enabled, this setting could make the IL-2 sound engine look to a special user-installed directory for alternative sound samples. DT would not make an alternative sound scheme (my understanding is that they don't have much expertise in sound engineering anyways). Any alternative sound samples would be provided by the user and in conjunction with the disclaimer, transfer all responsibility for copyright infringement to the user rather than DT/1C/Maddox. This would allow the user the freedom to pick the sound scheme of their choice and absolve 1C/Maddox of any legal responsibility that way. I think this is the only way to make the whole IL-2 community happy with sounds.

Just a thought,

No.
Why?
Because you would enable you to turn off your own engine sound - which would lead to the sonar problem-> You'd be flying a glider and hear any enemy planes approaching you from behind.

TD, please consider modelling the movable horizontal stabilizers for Bf-109s so that "elevator trim" control won't be delayed on them.

I want better damage model and nice looking cokpits for all the planes available.

This person obviously wasn't around during the RBJ 'trim on a slider' days.

I know of only one pilot who used flaps(not even trim). He got killed in Africa.

PITA.

Here is one more:

Transferring your loadout / squadron / fuel / fuse etc settings to other players on the server for a joint strike with your friends who wish to have the same loadout as you.

ah ... the glory days when RBJ reigned supreme in the skies of HL

Whilst I was never keen on the exact solution implemented, the fact that people actually went as far as mapping the TRIM to their joystick instead of the elevator when flying online was really a sign of a problem.
