Oleg, do you plan to animate wing-flex during maneuvering?

Can you tell the term by other words?

I think he means wing warp / wing twist / washout when the aircraft is stressed (like under a sharp / high g turn).

The spitfire had thin wings and this had an effect on it, but I'm no spit expert . . . others could elaborate exactly what happened.

Exactly that, to use an extreme example, like this:

Ok.
Visually we don't plan to model at the moment. They are not so visible by eyes on the planes that we currently put in a sim as flayble. The feel of effect - yes. Partially it was done even in early Il-2.
However early spits had other effect on aielerons at high speeds that we plan to tune in FM with effect on some aircraft.

I know it isn't so important, but I would like to know if I cut someone's radio wire will he lose it? It would be cool in online when you tell: ,,He's firi..." and stop because of wire cut.

Wow... I bet that'll never happen, but it's a great idea! Especially if the game had voice comms built in (instead of using outside ventrillo or teamspeak servers).

You'd be talking with your buddies and one of em would get shot up and go silent... You'd fly up next to him and he'd waggle his wings to let you know he's ok.

I don't know but I think this is very possible with the DM in game, I like the idea...maybe he will comment on this

But then to counter it, someone will just use TS anyway, unless SoW blocks use of these programs!

I wanted to ask if there will be effect of cutting off enemy propeller after ### ###### lucky shot, but I know it's impossible to have this due to death from being too excited
