On the Cockpit Management and the Landing questions you might find this interesting:

Thr RL startup was not so complex as some people might imagine and it adds just a little more immersion if CoD has it.

On the landing, if you watch the last minute or so you will see that the Spit does skip, wheels even, on the first touch and lands unevenly on the second, left wheel first, but settles immediately.

In IL-2 that second bounce would have the gear off or the a/c on its back as the wobble increased until disaster struck. I am hoping CoD will be more like the real thing.

Like I said, there's a simple solution to the whole resolution dot-size issue - which, due to more LOD's isn't going to be as much of one in CoD.

Just publish each players resolution settings on the scoring screen for everyone to see. Maybe even let the host discriminate for resolutions below 1280x1024.

Either way This let's the point advantage whores self police amongst each other.

Definitely want to start up like that.Even if some switches and levers are there for cosmetics purposes, I will use them.
