I totally agree with the rest of your post, BOBC. I'm glad there are people like you and Rodolphe pointing out these small issues (or in the case of the Spit cockpit, rather a large one when they're all put together), even if you do get a lot of flak for doing so. I don't understand that, after all, it's the most constructive kind of criticism that the game will get. Perhaps you should try directly messaging Oleg or luthier?
However, I suspect the cover art is the responsibility of the publisher.

Thanks for the Info BOBC.
Lets hope it is tweaked with later patches... In the past the IL2 series have had a good history of providing patches.... not just releasing a game and running. One good thing will come of this...is that the Spit V is already half modeled..

I personally see your concerns, and it looks like it would in fact be a fairly glaring issue for a true fan of the Spitfire (as you must be), but at the same time the majority of users will never realize this. It is nice to see someone point these things out in a courteous and respectful manner, and your knowledge on the subject is astounding. I have to say though with the time and money involved in creating these cockpits I would honestly rather see them make cockpits for other aircraft than do such a major overhaul of what is for all intents and purposes close enough for most users.

I love old warbirds, a huge fan of many of the WW2 birds in particular, but I couldn't honestly tell you the difference between a Spitfire MK1/MK2 much less many of the minutiae differences between the a's and b's subvariants. I think many of us (those that initially accused you of whining and moaning) have just gotten so used to people being rude and over the top with the pointing out of small details that we've become callous towards people that bring up such issues over the last few months.

I am more interested in the flight and damage models personally, but incorrect gauges from one variant to the other really aren't going to ruin my fun or my immersion. I hope you do get some kind of response BOBC, and it would be neat if these issues get fixed, but don't get your hopes up and don't let that spoil it for you.

Thank you for the information and your politeness.

So if it's a MkII what is wrong with the layout?

Cheers!
