Some questions for Oleg
I am sure you are bored with answering the same questions over and over again, so I hope these have not been asked before.

Will the distances flown in the real Battle of Britain be modeled? Or will the map be a small version of the real thing?

Will SOW BoB be released with a ready made online campaign similar to or incorporating aspects of either ADW or warbirds of prey or both?

Il2 Commander and programs like it were created to deal with the online needs of the community. Will SOW already have such an interface program on release or is it expected that third party developers will create it?

In later incarnations of Il2, cockpits could open etc. Will this feature be available on all plane types in SOW. Will I be able so slide open windows on bombers (ones that could historically be opened in-flight of course)? Reverting back to the opening of cockpits, will sound change, currently whether I open the cockpit on a Hellcat or not it makes no difference. There is no change in sound, wind blasting in, louder engine noise etc.
I am not sure if the increased drag is modeled either in Il2, which brings me to my last question, will drag caused by wind-resistance either by open cockpits or plane damage be modeled.

Thanks in advance

Both 1C Publishing EU and Ubisoft will be at the Games Convention in Leipzig this august, so there might be hope to see something.

I don't know if this is already posted somewhere. Unfortunately I haven't seen a bug dedicated thread either. So apologees if I am wrong in this section.

Me and some others have to report a bug that seems to happen particularly on a few new maps like Kiew or the new dessert map. I don't know if other maps are concerned or if the maps are the reason for it.

Up to now this bug hasn't happened to me offline but then I am mostly an online flyer.

The bug is when you're on a map somewhere playing. Suddenly the mission transfer screen appears. No way to return to the current game. One has to stop the mission and the game.

It would be nice if this bug could be fixed with the next Patch.

I have one request for Oleg and devs, would you please give Server side controls to set Default markings in SOW. Yes, I realise that it will be just the BoB in the first installment but it's concievable that should other countries markings show up later we will have people choosing something other than the correct markings for the theatre. This is already kind of a problem in full real servers, so if it can be locked by the server to have only Brit marks on Brit planes and so on it will make Server-admins job easier.

Yes and this could be made per plane type... say Spits - British... P51s - USAF... etc...
