And you have a background in computer engineering/programming I assume? No okay thanks for your input.

In case you missed it, the feature is being WORKED on and as stated by Luthier will be released at a later time. I personally would rather have the game sooner and wait for it whilst playing than waiting longer for the sim to release.

It's not like the feature was completely left on the floor, it's actually IN game (again as Luthier mentioned) as an "unmarked" feature for now. So turn it on if you want....or be patient and let them do their work.

You are actually right. But this was one of the main features advertised already back in 2006, so my worries are not at all causeless.

It's a great feature, but understand it's very complicated so if it's been 5 years and it's "not right" ... it's obviously pretty heavy handed.

The good news is it's still a priority and will be worked on until it's right. Maybe Q4 2011...

You said it yesterday in another forum than the official.

All I can say Is WOW! Just WOW! Some people just arent happy with anything.

X-planes new cloud system is Very very intresting. Not sure if Yall have seen the chatter about it but its suppose to solve both the Physics and the Graphical side of your issues Luthier.

Thanks for the update!

Now, some people seems to confuse criticism and complaining. I'm not complaining but I do share some concern with some of the other forum members also. Criticism is good sometimes, keeps people on their toes and I'm sure Oleg, Ilya and all the team are mature/professional people who can take criticism when it's to the point.

Looking forward to the game, wish some features would've been in it on release but I can live with it as we are not exactly spoiled with WWII air combat games these days.

A quick question - could you please add an option to disable TrackIR when in outside view? Most other games have it this way as it get's really annoying in IL2 sitting there with you head a bit to the side to look from behind your aircraft. And yes, many of us like to have external views on

If someone says "you fool, that can be done in IL2 to, just change the conf.ini value x=false" I would be very happy too...

When in external I want to control the view with the hat of my joystick (and yes, I know there is a "disable" button for TrackIR but no, I don't want to sit there holding that )
