You know, in ten years of playing IL2 I've never reaslised that

But still, double negative switches are just wrong and confusing.

Bf-109s don't have aileron trim. So the torque has a big influence.

Oh, and the Bf-109 was maybe flown by a rookie who can't handle with the torque

Didn't see the blue and red dots? There's way more planes in there!

Of course there is torque, but almost not able to turn to the right is ridiculous, but we'll see when the game is out.

1 plane on screen....anyway...lets hope its just the GPU.

That's because it wasn't like that in Il2 - the "no omission of deactivated difficulty setting absence"-style labels drove me mad too Having "tick = more difficult" as a common rule should be quite easier to handle now.

Some random observations (it's getting hard to digest anything new from those videos we've seen):

The individual AI attributes were mentioned before but it's nice to see the complete list now (here) - sure looks interesting.

Other things I've noticed were the flames without smoke in one video (some more variety compared to Il2), the Il2-like "orderly ejection" from spiralling planes (mostly RAF so I guess they maintain a proper queue at the exit hatch ) and the tracers working really well from the cockpit view. Not so sure about the cannon smoke - looks good from behind but the individual puffs when watched from the side are not so great. No big deal though.

And still some visual bugs (the white line on the sea) which are hopefully a side effect of the poor graphics card.

Some text messages (as far as they are readable) show "shared kills" when a plane goes down, so it looks like the game tracks all previous hits and doesn't just count the final attacker. Could be interesting for the MP people.

Anything I missed?

What on earth does anthropomorphic control do?

+1 Look at a real Spit on air shows compared to what you can do in IL2... Sure - they don't fly them that hard but they definitely look "heavy" as opposed to an IL2 Spit doing three blistering fast successive snap rolls and then bam - straight ahead... That is my major complaint in IL2 - the planes feel too light (like an SU-26 )
