Thanks Oleg

That is sad no first person avatar or maybe these are remotely operated. Can you say UAV

Fantastic cockpits but so glad that Oleg has said that they are pre-rendered, because what nobody seems to have noticed that they are not reflections! the brake is on the wrong side and so is the pilots hand unless he's flying left-handed.
But if it's pre-rendered that it will be fairly simple to correct.
Sorry to sound negative but someone had to say it.

Stunnning cockpits Oleg, just amazing to look at!

Thank you for the update.

Few questions for You Oleg, if I may:

- if not inappropriate, may I ask if someone else than UbiSoft is the publisher? I am not particularly interested who actually is

and once again, I use the opportunity to copy-paste my questions here that have been unanswered.

1. Will there be an option to first load some custom made skins on the server, and then force players (server setting) to first download them before hitting fly or even joining the server. I am asking this because some time when many people load their skins all you see is blank skinned planes flying all over the place. This also affects bandwidth.
   
2. Also, I asked this once before - would it be possible (for servers with external views on) to disable the option to browse through enemy planes? More important - to prevent from seeing which type of planes is the opposite side flying (in IL2 this command was 'S')?
   
3. How is kill crediting implemented? Will we have shared kills and if so in which way will server determine when it is a shared kill and when it isn't? What about human manned gunners (if I remember correctly, humans will be able to join a human piloted bomber on dog fight servers)?
   
4. And last but not least - will there be an option to limit which countries or air forces can be selected per side? This would greatly help admins of the servers which try to simulate a certain scenario or battle - servers that are historically oriented (this goes for question #1 as well).

Thank you.

A not to all of you who usually comment and dislike the current coloring of the ground etc. - Colors in the cockpit seem more than perfect, don't you think the same quality will be applied to the rest of the game?

This is impossible!
We are down to nuts and bolts.
Oh boy are we a happy gang to experience this in our lifetime!

Thanks!

Awesome Pics.

Question:

Is the "weathering" in the cockpit dynamic?
Will I be able to fly in a cockpit that is completely new (without "weathering")?
