You can however do things like start the engine lower the undercarriage and stuff like that with the mouse.

This is great though and from what Oleg said in the OP:

...would I be correct in assuming we get to use the analog controls with a mouse drag? If so, brilliant! I was always short of hardware sliders in IL2 (I have one on the joystick and the other is my mousewheel) and so had to revert to an incremental keypush system to operate my prop-pitch. This had disastrous results in the German planes on full-real however, because unless you were the world champion of the 1980's PC game called Decathlon, keypresses were nowhere near fast enough to stop the engine from over-revving and inevitably seizing. Of course the allied aircraft were far more forgiving.

If we're able to do this on-screen with a mouse drag then I'm one even happier camper.

Yeah, sorry this thread is moving so fast that when I clicked 'reply', yours was the last entry and by the time I'd submitted it was two pages down the line.

I use a free program that's called JoyToKey, for example I use button 3 & 4 on my joystick to zoom in & out in a smooth fashion. Button three corresponds with pressing the letter O (zoom Out) 25 times per second and 4 does I (zoom In), again 25 times per second.
You can program to use this with prop pitch as well and of course set any repeat rate you might want.

Thanks oleg, each update is getting better & better, cockpits look outstanding m8.

Those cockpits are nearly photorealistic! Looks like SoW is getting more and more polished all the time...

On the Bf109E panel does anyone know what the functions are for the buttons and instruments located at?:

P15
P14

They aren't in any manuals I have. The P15 looks like it controls the armament, but what are the dials for and what do the counters show?
