It sounds very useful when learning the cockpit of an aircraft, but once it has been learned I would like to be able to turn the popup line off.

Thankyou

yes in difficulty settings

Absolutely amazing, I hope I don't start drooling too much when looking at all those instruments this is going to be heaven on earth

In my opinion, there can be a little enhancement with the additional control description/instruction,
for example, the font can be gothic when in a german plane, and this "Instruction words" layer needs some decoration I think, just a blank/white colour is too dull, some pattens may be good foil to those "Words".

When you put the mouse on the lever and press button you may move the mouse... and the lever will also moving.

THANKS OLEG! A million times.....

You've given us "Clickable Cockpits".

I don't know about other countries, most American aircraft (especially Navy instruments were in red).

The night vision thing was a big deal, especially on ships. All Navy aircraft had red instrument lighting.

Yes, there is a picture of a night cockpit in an older update.

Thanks for the update, Oleg!!
The cockpits are looking very realistik to me and i m surre, the rest of the simulation will look the same, you proved it allready with IL 2. I have no doubt that you and the team learned from the good/ bad things of IL 2. Keep up the good work!
One question: will there be humans on ships? Maybe not at the release, but on addons.
Have a nice week.

Great to hear this oleg

Just to show that the work over lighting tuning is still there... and due this tuning was changing textures.

So finally you all will get really close to photorealistic picture.
