The good thing is: The world for tank is much smaller, we dont see several square kilometers full of trees. We dont care about about the LOD of planes, as they are usually far away.

And the best: Tank sims generate cash. Much more ppl are attracted to it compared to highly sophisticated flight sim.

I still think it will take years till we're there 'tho.

I doubt that there is anyone working on manable tanks or AA guns at MG that would be of any use working on the aircraft FM or comms or anything else that anyone wants. Most of us want mostly the same things, with varying levels of priority granted.

I'd be surprised to find a single person here who would put the ground aspects before the air aspects, and I'd be just as surprised if Ilya wasn't acutely aware of that.

I'm not worried at all. Perhaps I'm naive.

I've just been monitoring posts over the years and was really impressed by this update and had to type something. Great job and thanks.

Is there a possibility to have "fps START SHOW" typed in the console prior to next video? That would provide alot of answers..............or...........start more questions.

Thanks B6

Wow, if this were the case, someone did a terrible job of hiring for a company that produces flight sims/games.

I wouldn't say that. If anyone had paid attention to the updates pre-release or taken one simple look at the controls section of IL2COD, I think it was pretty clear that we'd be driving vehicles (if not more) at some point in development cycle. That is just one aspect of the big picture they are doing. And I think it's phenomenal.
