Good catch IvanK. It's been this way since release and i never noticed it, despite all my fumbling and investigating with the Blenheim a few months ago

Probably our cockpit is modeled after a restored museum piece and that's how this gauge placement error slipped in (actually, our Blenheims are based on the Canadian Bolingbroke versions, could also be a factor).

In any case, i'm all for it getting fixed. It should make the gauges easier to read too.

Firstly, some formations of aircraft disappear from view as you approach them. Secondly, sometimes you will hear projectiles striking your aircraft but sometimes not. Even extensive damage to the cockpit will not necessarily result in any noise. Flak is always completely silent even when detonating in close proximity to the aircraft. Flak damage never seems to generate any sound.

Couple of other things that bother me: the middle distance rendering of cloud and the difficulty one has actually seeing aircraft. These often appear as indistinct wavy lines, and are very hard (too hard) to track, IMO.

I should just say that my native resolution is only 1680x1050 so maybe these latter issues don't arise at higher res. I'd be interested to know.

I noticed today that killing someone's pilot doesn't award you a kill in game.

Example:

Shot a spitfire and he crashed -> got points
Shot a spitfire and killed pilot -> didn't get any points

Not sure if it has been noticed but the trim wheel in the RAF fighters (not sure about others) doesn't animate when trimming, or at least it doesn't for me.

Likely the plane despawned before it hit the ground. Happens to me all the time with high alt pilot kills.

It never moved in the Spitfire.

.
I do not like “it” but "statistics" do not work at all with "new" planes and I am talking about the BF109E1/E4/E4b Spitfire MKIa oct and all the more resents! I cannot shoot them down either! Maybe there should be a way to set the statistics it to zero once in a while? Or at least once after the end of training period you should be given a choice?

Oh, that's interesting. I guess I never noticed it before. Happened to me tonight twice in a row, so I figured it was a new bug.

Not seen this before this latest beta, re-running a single mission I made, when ships sink the superstructure detail seems to remain at the 'normal' position, while the main body of ship slowly sinks:

Hmmm, Falco (flying an E4) PK'd me last night at low level near Hawkinge. Although my screen went black, I held off hitting ESC until I heard an audible crash as my Spit hit the ground a few seconds later. If Falco is reading this perhaps he can confirm if he got the points added to his score.

The game seems to work okay till I try to join the ATAG server then the Launcher.exe crashed just as I'm at the point I can choose a team. I was able to join the 71st server and it did not CTD but there were no other players. Maybe it's the server running something odd in the mission?
