Two ore even 4 flyables - the main mistake of any team that would start after success of Il-2. Even if to compare with intial release of Il-2 in 2001.
Player would like to fly and master different aircraft. Some time very different.
I can tell much more what make the sim successfull, but you know.... I will not tell it now :)
However I prsonally really know what should be and should't be in a fligth sxim that to make it successfull even morte than IL-2 series. And I hope to reach that stage that to "overjump" my onw Il-2.

I am sure it will be toggle-able and with possibility to set a default state (on or off) so people that want to see the cockpit empty can do so... like DCS Black Shark has. Or you just wish to interdict something other people might like? ;)

As for gore effects. Activable from hidden setting like current IL-2 would be good enough. In some places people know that war without blood is just a myth :) .

More options is always better than less, of course, if is not hindering the development and the release.

The only problem is that where you don't have many flyables, multiplayer can get quite predictable. I urge balance here. I would rather have half the planes we had in IL2 and really REALLY good fm/dm/wm.

Head movement is all most pilots need.


We have waited a long long time.

I wish you success :!:

S~!

+++1 on that! but what does "wm" mean? :confused:

Hi Oleg and teamwork guys! :-)

First of all great work again :grin:.

I have one idea :rolleyes: and 2 questions :confused:.

Idea:

You could put in the game one option for see the screen to scale 1/1 only in the cockpit view , that is to say 1 cm of the real cockpit will be 1 cm of the screen. There is a bigs screem, or 2 or 3 tv makes a big screen, its is posible!!

Questions:

1.- Can you tell us your impressions and feelings to pilot some planes in sow?

2.- When you pilot some plane the objects (trucks, armor) how do you see it? (all the details are visible or not).

Thx.

You know, I've been wanting to say this for a long time now, but have never really got down to doing it.

I agree 100% with the comment that effort should not be diverted into the creation of a large number of "flyables" - just a few superb ones (with excellent FM & DM) would be fine - rather to spend the time/effort on enhancing/improving/tweaking other aspects of the sim.

I must tell you, I have been an avid IL-2 sim pilot since its inception and have bought all the add-on's.
During that time I've flown various versions of the Spitfire (only recently I guess, with the introduction of the England maps) and various versions of the Me109 (on the Eastern Front).
I've tried my hand at a few US fighters (when 'Pacific Fighters' came out), and there was a time when I was "hooked" on the Me110 (I think that its superb quality of its cockpit did it for me!) but essentially I've stuck to my two "favourites" ... the Me109 & the Spit!

Am I odd in doing this?

I must say, I find it hard enough to master the flying characteristics of one type of aircraft, let alone a myriad!

I too want a pilot - not a ghostly presence. Ideally I want the option for a pilot. That way everyone would be happy.

I too would very much like to see a pilot instead of an empty chair. This really adds to the immersion!

Also I think mysticpuma's post went a bit unnoticed because it had good content. Especially I'd like to have the map as a kneepad instead of a magical window popping up in the screen. Don't know how hard it is to implement especially if we're talking about showing plane icons in it if enabled etc.

But still, I think it might be worth the investigation atleast.

BR,

Yes, a Pilot in these cockpits would be great!
Those of us who fear that he'd obscure the gauges might just turn it of and have this strange ghost-like cockpit...

Add me to the list of those who would like to see an OPTION to select Pilot-body ors Ghost-Pilot.
