Hi,

I've have a question, suggestion ... will it be possible to have the aircraft reference while in flight (even better while pausing the game)?

To explain the reason I ask, I'm not a plane specialist but I do like the realistic settings so when in flight, I'm constantly alt-tabbing between a browser and the game to remember when I need to switch the turbo charger and so on ...

In IL-2 I always spend a lot of time searching the web for all the reference for the aircraft I want to fly and then it's time to go to bed without even being airbone .

Also, I don't have (I know I should ...) a trackIR, when in cockpit view, I cannot glance easily on the 'ball' of the plane to keep it centered, will there be a way to have the main instrument visible at all time?

Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.

This is a good idea for new pilots. To have a key where we swith to a screen with references of the aircraft we are flying. Especially interesting if we use the QMB and choose an aircraft randomly without knowing much about it.
It could also be made that by pressing a key, or key combination, it appears on the screen the important technical info required to fly the aircraft, like altitud required to change supercharger stage, if it haves de-icing system, aircraft or engine limitations, and so on.

Like it for newbies!
