Like the 3d modelling of cows, sheeps and chessboards.

Now 777 is taking the big part in this new project: it's like a dream to me.
Because you might no flied in bombers.
I really disappointed about that future

Why not? Am I missing something?

Il2 has ALWAYS been a SURVEY SIM guys... Loss of click-able cockpit is not that important if all other aspects of combat is simulated well (CEM, FM, DM, collision, ballistics)....

If you want a uncompromising study sim, go fly DCS P-51D and pay for your $40 worth...

I guess having clickable cockpits is a nice addition, but for me I would not really use it , as I prefer to map the main functions to my HOTAS. I personally do not want to be looking down and clicking away with my mouse whilst flying and in combat.

This.

I can't understand what the hubbub is about. Never used the clickable stuff. At all. Seems like programming resources could/should have been better used elsewhere...

Whatever comes out for BoS I will be waiting to hear how it operates in all of it`s functionality from in game to Gui`s Mission builder & Multiplay after release before buying.

If its supposed to be a simulator and classed as one it should have a clickable cockpit, it should be the norm for all sims, Lock-on has had it since day one, and that was released in 2003.

If its a game/arcade then I suppose it doesnt need to have a clickable cockpit, but then the sim addicts wouldnt buy it, and that includes me. So basically when this new game is released thats what it will be, just a game, not a sim.
