SOW: your thoughts on clickable cockpits and realistic start-up

I still use the good old dos box (cmd) when doing certain things as a network administrator at my school. You use the most appropriate tool for the task at hand.

X-Plane and FSX have clickable cockpits. If FSX drops out of the market then Apple could take it and go so much further. X-Plane is handy even on an I-Phone, try FSX on a mobile PC phone – you can't. I have a PC for the sole fact that Mac has until recently opted out of the flight simulation market. It is not a pro-platform statement as much as it is an eagerness to assimilate innovation. That innovation has kept everyone enthralled with IL-2 longer than they have ever kept interest in any simulation.

Different developers, different priorities. I'm sure SOW will be inovative, with or without clickable cockpits.

Please continue to look forward to seeing clickable cockpits in SOW, but please do not get too upset if it is not included. That is up to the developer, who for reasons of his own (and is well within his rights to do so) has been quite frugal with the specific information regarding the user interface of the sim.

This, I feel, is beyond the power of anyone on this board. I would have no more ability to remove your enjoyment of the sim, than I would of flying to the moon. You will either enjoy the sim or not.

Cheers!
