Yes!

Excellent!

- Communications (between pilots and with ground control... think about calling the mechanic because of an issue during the engine startup,

Oh great wld it be to hve an animation with the mech explaining to us what he had to fix on the plane and what we shld monitor in our flight

- Sound engine
- Demanding management of the plane (not only engine management, but also belts, oxigen, gunsight's bulbs ect...)

A key to unleash or tighten the seat belt wld be awesome !

- wheater and gust simulation : the plane shld be shacking, the wing shld rock instead of being so steady, our sight shld be blurred by the vibration at low alt and high speed

disagree (see above)

Planes were ordered to fly in very challenging weather during the war - IMOHO it's a must

- Women between the pilot's arms
