Option in full mission builder to change formation of AI groups at different waypoints. At the moment it appears you can only set for the entire mission. (unless I missed the setting,then please forgive me)

Can you give an example?

More bindings for scripts. I want to be able to enable/disable icons/arrows for specific planes, dynamically create/destroy tutorial-style rings to fly through, and many other things.

Of course, if you already *can* do that, I'll settle for more documentation for the scripts and FMB.

Yeah, why not just a new PC in the mailbox! 3-4 more patches and it might be time for the first (paid for) DLC methinks. Can't wait, especially since the last couple of patches which have made the game very playable - really enjoying it now.

I'd pay for DLCs if they contained flyable new planes but lets get COD stable and the CrossFire/SLI working first.

My list of flyable planes I'd pay for

(1) Defiant, (2) Condor, (3) Stirling, (4) Hampden, (5) Hudson, (6) Anson, (7) He117 Grief .. hmmm will think of more later.

I'll definitely pay for DLC too. Looking forward to map expansions as well as planes. And cannons on my spitty! (Or the versions that have the cannons to be more precise.) All in good time, though. Still a few patches away I think.

I'll pay for complete expansions even if it means buying planes in the bundle that i don't use often, because expansions are a way for the developer to sell the "supporting actors" (AI, ground units, etc) along with the flyables.

Itemized, single aircraft DLC on the other hand i probably won't bother with. It's too disjointed for my taste, it fragments the online playing field because people end up having all sorts of different flyables (i mean, even mods for I2 came in packs/bundles so people can have a common base to start from) and it focuses the development effort on just getting the flyables done.

Luckily enough, it seems they prefer the system they used in the previous series than itemized DLC (they've said as much a couple of times).

[philip.ed]

Rremoval of mostly all the random trees which appear in fields and along their boundaries in favour of 3-D hedge rows.
If this improves FPS, then the addition of bushes and scrubland would be awesome to really bump the fields up and make the landscape look real.
Saltmarshes would be nice to see as well.

And the Battle of Britain would be awesome to see in the game, too.

10. The rest of the switches clickable.. I see a lot that do nothing.,, There must be Battery switch/nav lights/canopy defog ... etc.

thx

@4 YES!

Brilliant, I'd love to be able to dismount my plane, either after ditching or, parachuting to the ground or simply landing, to walk around my aircraft and do a simple post-flight inspection. If they could implement this.. (they already have 1st person bailouts and the animation for the pilot standing up again... So why not have an ability to dismount your burning wreck in the field and run for it! That would require a basic walking animation and the ability to steer a ground unit forwards, backwards and rotate the person. You could use track IR or POV hats etc to look around.

@10 Yes, some of the functions modeled in the game don't have clickable switches, even though they are modeled in 3D. Can't complain though as the increase of clickable cockpit items since IL-2 FB are a 100% increase
