As for clickable cockpits, the less said the better. I don't even use them in Falcon. Too fiddly, too slow, makes you a sitting duck in combat.
Three things:

- at least the online dudes would use the clickable cockpit 100% of times if it was the server setting .

- touchscreens will probably begin to move into the meainstream 2010/2011. Win7 already has touchscreen interface support.

- realistic CEM (including startup and cooldown/shutdown) would add a lot of realism to the game ane open up new possibilities. Not to mention that it would give a lot more to the player even from the limited set of airplanes that we'd have at the beginning. Flying even a simple airplane like a C-150 in reality is infinitely more rewarding experience than flying a Corsair or another complicated airplane in Il-2 just because of the procedures you have to follow. Frankly, as for how much it does for the sim, check DCS forum - everybody has their socks blown off by the realism of the thing. It feels real, and serious - that's what's so good about it.
