Totally, its stunning. Coming from someone who has NEVER played the original, its been a really fun challenge learning the flight model - learning to fly really. A thrill!

As far as the cockpits go, your reasons are valid and your continuing efforts to please the community are very appreciated. I agree with your team's commitment to historically accurate adversarial MP (axis vs allies) as opposed to a 12 allied plane free-for-all.

I can't wait to get in the air and get my ass shot off.... cheers.

P.s - Stuka sirens FTW

The Stuka will need a cockpit ASAP. You can't accurately dive bomb without the bombsite window or horizon markers on the canopy.

The sirens are actually the dive brakes that create the noise when extended.

So that's why I never heard the dive breaks on the original IL-2 (this also explains why I found myself properly burried at the end of every Stuka mission I was Assigned)

Thanks for taking the time to explain Anton.

I have a question though, all the talk of Geman cockpits is for Multi player, but will I be able to play with german aircraft in free flight or single mission mode?

actually no , the stuka's were built with a siren on the wheel that spun at high speeds creating the famous sound
