As always, the screenshots look great.

Apollogies for making this offtopic question that came to my mind when i saw this screenshot from another thread:



I remember long time ago that was requested for IL-2 some kind if limited external views for coop and dogfight missions. Something like if you are shot down or landed, you can switch to a fixed chase view, or inside cockpit view of friendly aircrafts. This was to give players the possibility to see some limited action of the mission when downed, but without allowing them to "cheat" by giving extra information to his companions by seeing more that the pilot itself when you have external views allowed.
Well, from the screenshot it seems we won't have something like this, that is why i would like te re-request this for the future (not necesarely now for the release) because its something i find entertaining for coop missions on virtual squads. Also would allow the server player to have something to do if he is shot down until he can terminate the mission (it happened to me several times ).

Thanks again, and as always great work.


P.S.: i can't make the image to be displayed as a thumbnail!. How can i do that?.
Apollogies to all for the excesive size of the image!

+1!
Great suggestion! That would be really good for passing the time when you've been shot down and are waiting for friends to finish a "full real" coop mission and can hear that they are involved in some heavy action...
