That would be awesome. Of course radials only start that badly if let sit for a while.

The Beech 17 is my favourite aircraft. I wonder if they hand swng her backwards to pump the oil out of the cylinders? Is that where the puddle of oil on the floor came from?

Cheers!

one thing that i thought wasn't addressed in the interview was 'user generated content' (and let's be very clear here, i'm talking about legal content such as skins, missions etc)
to me this is one of things that not only make a simulation more (re)playable but acts as a 'viral marketing tool'- how many people come to a game through having their interest aroused by seeing say a youtube video?
it also gives users sense of 'having a stake' in the product. hooking the talented people out there who do these things is i feel extremely important:- just imagine IL2 with all the community content removed would there be anywhere to fly online?
