Bring on SoW and 6DoF, I guess.

Well, there is a mod that gives you 6DoF in Il2 1946, but that isn't part of the official game yet. The problem is that all the older cockpits in the sim were designed to use only a fixed viewpoint, which means if you are moving around in the cockpit you will see parts of the cockpit haven't been modeled.

Obviously, doing an upgrade for all these cockpits would be a massive task, so its unlikely this will ever be officially added to Il2.
