4.13 development update discussion and feedback

New cockpits - nice, indeed.
I have mixed feelings about dashboard illumination. More historical, on one hand. More difficult to use, especially in full real settings, on the other.

It was more about fixing the flickering cockpit lights in certain aircraft.

Theres a new update out, looks like we are going to blessed indeed with some new flyables, r5 in 3 variants? one a civil, the other a bomber, the other an attack plane/

I-16 cockpits were for type 28 and 29, so that means a 2mg 2 cannon type 28 and 3 mg type 29 with uprated engines etc?

He-111H11 and 16 with new updated clear vision cockpits/revised instrument layout etc.

goodness indeed, cant wait... thanks TD!

As always a small "peek"

The update is coming why not put one or more Easter eggs?. That is, an upgrade or new feature in the simulator which you do not specify what it is, but users have to find out, and hidden things. Example:

* Public clocks that work giving the exact time at which the flight is being carried out.
* The church bells sounding every six hours.
* Convert an AI airplane into a a flyable airplane
* An open canopy in an airplane that in the simulator didn't have this characteristic (like you did in the J8A).
* Or any other great idea.

Maybe the flyable He-111 H11 and H16 variants are proof that TD reads wish-list threads!

Those variants fill a big hole in the German mid-war Order of Battle.

The R-5 civil version is also, functionally, the first flyable trainer/liaison aircraft to be added to the game. Very handy for sight-seeing, mission testing, and improving basic piloting skills.

It would be interesting to get exterior views of the new R-5s, to determine if we get actually ski variants as well as variants with wheels.

Big thanks to TD!
