It would be cool if "BoB SoW" had mission (RAF) briefings that used animations with the look and feel of this picture...

I would personally prefer a single paper map and notepad on a blank surface. The biggest enhancement I can think of would be to allow for scripting decisions into the mission briefing.

One could use a text interface and decide to ground a tired pilot or make a minor adjustment to the waypoints. Even, if one isn't in a position of command, then one could ask questions or point out things to the commander that might have similar effects. This could all be third party, Oleg simply has to build in the capability.

*whoops sorry! I thought this was a new thread. I already proposed a similar idea here and this isn't the place to have discussions. S!*

I don't know if this has been answered already but i'm wondering how you will see the cockpit in BOB. in IL2 it's more like you have only one eye, 2D, can't see what's behind bars etc.

will this be 'fixed' in BOB so you see with 2 eyes in 3D ?

Yes, Bobby. SoW:BoB will had the ability to see around bars. You'll lean into the gun sight. You can look over your shoulder and see around the headrest armour etc etc.

SoW:BoB will incorporate 6 Degrees of Freedom.

For a good idea of what to expect check out a few Goggle videos from the Shockwave game Battle of Britain:Wings of Victory. See Vee has posted a few 6DoF videos.

I know it will have 6DOF. I was thinking more about having "2 eyes" then a bar wouldn't block out as much vision.

I've always thought the cockpit bars in IL2 were too big. There's too many places for the enemy to hide behind. The cockpit for the Me 109 (E3 or is that E4?) looks to have more realistic bars and struts. (or at least won't obliterate your forward vision like some pits do.)

I understand what you mean now. Stereoscopic vision. One poster a long time ago suggested to have the cockpit bars 'blurry and more translucent' as you get to the edges of the bars for IL2 cockpits. This would mimic stereoscopic vision.

We are still dealing with 2 dimentional objects on a flat screen, sadly. It would be nice if something could be arranged like that.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. SoW:BoB the first combat flight simulator to come with 3D glasses and 6DoF.

Exactly!

I don't know about 3d glasses though, that together with a cap and the track ir device it would really look like i'm trying to contact mars
