What will you add to make the player feel as if he is more in the game? Things like birds flying, cities with moving cars and smoking factories, random civilian aircraft, etc? Maybe this isn't possible with today's computing, but being able to see people moving on the ground here and there would be amazing and really help the player feel like a part of a bigger picture.

Thanks!
I agree that small things like those you mention would add to the immersion - and from what I've heard there will be more of that in BoB (moving buses etc). Civilian air traffic during Battle of Britain in southern England must have been VERY limited though... Anyone knows? Did they fly civilan traffic to the London area at all during the battle? Maybe night time with lit wings with large civilian registration marks? I know the BOAC operated Mosquitos used "lights on" in the beginning but swithced them off as Lufwaffe did not care to much about that (but found them easily).
