That's pretty much excellent and will make us appreciate how these aircraft were really flown, because it effectively disables tools we have and they didn't, like hotas macros: in order for a macro to work without wrestling control of the aircraft away from you, adequate delays between each action would have to be part of the macro and this means it could be the same as manually pressing the keys on your keyboard in sequence.

I really like all the effort they've put into this, because the reason our simulated fights are unrealistic stems from the fact that our simulated aircraft have been much easier to operate through the years, even if they fly in an accurate manner. All we will need to experience the real deal of calculated and carefully planned fighting with human opponents is a few servers that will make use of this setting

+1
A big leap toward realistic air combat!

Nice screens. The detail in the parked-up 109 cockpit, with canopy slightly open screen is amazing. The shadow detail and lighting is awesome!

-NITPICKING MODE ON-!!!!!

its a great shot and your right the lighting is very very nice....but does the canopy glass look abit clean and perfect?...i wonder if we will get the tiny canopy scratches when looking through it?

plus would be great to see lots of dirt and stuff thrown up when belly landing in a field.
