Two things actually:
1. For Single Player Campaigns... I'd like to be able to force the player into certain cockpits rather then allowing Rank to control selection.
2. Also for Single Player Campaigns... Some missions in my campaign's are training... however, to make them more interesting and fun... I encourage players to actually shoot down the "bad guy"... This of course adds to total campaign kills... Of course in real life the "bad Guy's would not actually get shot down ... I'd like the capability to designate certain missions as "Training" and therefore any kills (Ground or Air) would be excluded from the overall kill count... or better yet have two categories of KILLs ... "Training" and "Actual"... determined by the type of mission selected... Training or not.

I did actually shoot down an "enemy" on a training mission, thought I'd be courtmarshalled when I landed, but no, got the kill and iron cross second class, go figure!

Wow. Simply brilliant work TD, keep it up....and thank you! Really looking forward to 4.12.

Can't believe I'm the only one who's noticed the fire & smoke on that exciting new addition to the 4,12 stable; not exactly stock, if you catch my drift....

Yes indeed! Congrats TD - you are the best!
I have a large glossy photo of a Beaufort on my wall -from my late uncle. He was a navigator in same - over the Timor Sea.
Not a glamorous aircraft- but a workhorse of those days. Inclusion of just such aircraft reflects the outstanding historical commitment of Il2 & its modders.

It will be a good stand in for the Lockheed Hudson as well.
