Default I have a question

I have some questions about sow ^^ not one. Will the SOW support the TrackIR in 6 degree of freedom? If so will it be possible to feel the difference of bubbled canopy using TrackIR? Any other feature related to this? Like puting my face into the windshell...
Another one, I think that in Il-2, the bullet tracer appears above the canopy or wing even if I shooting while pullin up with high Gs. Is it right that in that condition the tracer should appear under nose or wing? Is it different in SOW? Thanks for Attention!

6DOF, if possible would not be real for sure. You nailed it with the Gs.

No way currently to set your head on the canopy or back in the seat like G forces, therefore if you can move your head forward and back with no resistance 6DOF is star wars.

Then of course, there are so many things no so real about a combat flight sim.

SOW supports 6DOF, but at this time you will not feel the wind in your face or die when shot but they are working on it.

I think you mix up bubble-canopy with modern canopy.

Bubble meant rather to have no structures around you, so you can look around with unblocked vision. You have that in IL2 already. To be able to move the head sideways further than in another cockpit, you need a modern canopy that really has a bubble-like shape sitting rather on top of the hull like this:



That was not used in WW2 though, AFAIK, most likely due to manufacturing limitations.

To the second part of the question:
That depends on how fast you turn. The bullets leave the muzzles with a velocity of well above the speed of sound. You need to pull pretty hard to not see the bullets after you fired them, if that is what you are asking for.

Unless of course you turn so hard that your guns bend down...

For bubble canopy I just mean spitfire's canopy. its sliding section is kind of bubble so pilots don't need to yaw their plane to see their 6 o'clock quickly or see more section of l12 o'clock low without rolling.
For the tracer smoke, It just don't make sense that when I shoot in level flight, the tracer appears little above what normally I expected. The trace should start near wing but it starts to appear far off from wing I mean above the wing like my guns are placed somewhere above the wing or something ^^. So I asked if others have the same feeling.

No I don't have that feeling but I suspect that what you're seeing is more a function of your convergence settings than anything else.

If you're convergence is at 500 meters then the gun does have to lob the shell slightly upwards in order to pass through the centre of your gunsight at 500 meters.
