In this case he fly for now Il-10 in Il-2 1946.

However he is not able to land yet. So he prefer to start in air and to finish there as well.

Hope in time he will understand the diffeences in planes and will learn other advantages for the different situations. He need to get experience.

At home I haven't yet PC that to run good FPS in BoB. Say RoF also can't run on my son PC in principle and my notebook - too slow.
I plan to buy for me new PC for home only when BoB will be released.
Same I suggest to all users really. Its why I still don't tell any specs.
Because I'm waiting myself to get it running very good at least at home .

Just realised that I've never flown the Il10, so I just quickly jumped over to 46 (it was running in the background while I was browsing the forum) and had a look, I totally missed the fact that it was added in 46 and with the later style of cockpit render, I'll now have to take it for a spin (figuratively speaking but maybe literally also) .

Thanks also for the unofficial specs you just let slipp

Thanks for another great update Oleg. It's always a great treat after a long week at work to see the images reflecting the progress you and your team are making on SoW.

Thanks for clarifications Oleg, quick recovery to son.

About subtitles, can you please have something done so they do not obscure the sky, and user can choose to have them down the screen instead of the upper part ? It is so mouch more immersive in my view when text is in its own window and not over main screen, i usually turn it all off in IL2 but then miss crucial info, so i have to keep 2 lines when flying finn' or german, i'd really rather have those in my lower screen and not where i search for the ennemy !

The top position is the best. We tryed other in the past. Amount of lines should be adjustable like in Il-2

Oleg, will there be an option to have no text? As a lot of us will understand English and German.

Should be. Like it was in original Il-2 as well.

Oleg, did you seem my comment before about the peripheral arrows? I think they are a great idea, but maybe could look more aesthetic? Like, for the RAF, roundels could be used instead of arrows and for the luftwaffe crosses etc
This way, the icons could be smaller, but also look better

We prefer to use only own ideas. Also with further development of the sim just imagine how much then should be different icons of different nations....
The big arrow only when the plane is near you. The size and transparence of arrow depens of the distance to the planes
