The animation is to be expected its 2013-4 we've been there before :grin:...I would like to hear a bit about CEM and the weather, cloud cover etc. I know its too early for that, but that is my interest

As far as I know (pretty much only what is on the dev blogs), it sounds like we are going to get full engine management but not a clickable cockpit, so, it won't be unlike Il-2 1946 or even ROF where you have pretty much full control, you just can't do it with the mouse in cockpit, at least that is the impression I get.

Now, as a DCS player, I admit that I appreciate a FULLY functional clickable cockpit with every component and system modeled fully but as I still enjoy IL-2 1946 a great deal without it's clickable cockpits and Cliffs of Dover with it's limited clickable cockpits, I don't think this system is really going to bother me that much, I mean, at least I will be able to bind those controls to my HOTAS and still be in full control.

Either way, there is still not much to go on but I imagine that will be the case.

For myself I thought it was a long time coming for a WW2 sim to have pilots of the right size and of a convincing pose, without the shrunken heads and startled, burger-eating pantomime that we are familiar with. The glint is there too towards the end of the vid. All in all the pilots looked very nice to me and looked like a natural part of the scene.

If wishes were fishes... :wink:

Would be nice if they could include a customizer for the sound, a half dozen sliders for us sound freaks to tune up to our own likening :cool:

I like the partially disassembled/derelict aircraft model. I hope there will be plenty of static objects available.

I don't get this, and I don't mean just you, Feathered. Everyone on every forum is gushing about how great the pilots look. Rise of Flight has had these sort of pilot animations for years, although I don't recall any reflections from the goggles, but I could be wrong.

It's almost as if no-one can think of anything else to comment on, unless they're busy identifying a LaGG-3 as MiG-3, like one chap. :grin:

The aircraft look good, but not as good as the 109s did. The one in the 'leaked' vid looked better imo. Particularly the aerials. :)

I am wondering if any part of the pilot's movements other than head turn will be tied to TIR. Just from an immersion and movie making standpoint it would be great if at least the lean L,R,F,B movements could be tired to TIR like the head turns are.. Since the animations are already there I imagine it wouldn't be too hard but I don't know. Now that Ilya is back on the scene and going to WWII the genre will be getting pretty darned interesting.. It is a GREAT time to be a fan of WWII flight sims.. Lost to look forward to.
