It depends. If the new smoke effect is better, more like the real thing than the stock one is, then yes, of course. However, the new effect may be worse. For instance, the flames in IL2 CoD, despite being technically more sophisticated (such as having more particles to calculate) and thus more refined, are in fact worse than those in IL2 1946.

Japan
I would like the Ki-44 as this was such an important IJAF fighter especially in home defence. Japancat's mod looks good and perhaps it could be ported across. The Judy and Kate would be good too but I don' know how much cockpit data is out there
Italy
A flyable Fiat G-55 would be great - I remember that someone was working on the pit.
Germany
Flyable Me210 would be nice too
USA
Helldiver - if permitted by licensing issues
UK
Late mark Spitfire (there seems to be some good modded ones out there) and Hawker Typhoon (probably a lot of work needed)

Please add widescreen support in the next patch. It's not nice to have those black strips in 1920x1080.

Although the game does lack true widescreen support, you can eliminate the strips by modifying the Config.ini:

[window]
width=1920 <-manual entry
height=1200 <-manual entry
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=1
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0 <- removes the back bars
Use3Renders=0

Do not open the video settings area in IL-2 after you do this as it will overwrite these changes back to an IL-2 default.

The only problems with this are that the speedbar, comms menu, and map will continue to be rendered in a 4:3 aspect but I find that a small annoyance.

Is there a way to implement 3D support (shutterglasses)? That would boost interest in IL2-FB.

Ability to use 2048x2048 textures on aircrafts, objects and terrain.

For miracles please refer to BenedictXVI[at]vatican.va. Ideas like that are way out of line with the basic characteristics of the engine, which is in its second decade and already prehistoric in PC terms. Just because modern hardware can deal with that it doesn't mean the engine is up to it.

Take a gander at this, I think it's what you're referring to.

I realized today that no matter what aircraft, I can stand on the brakes or abuse the crap out of them when landing and they'll never overheat or fail (explode, catch fire, melt/shred tires, etc).

I think it'd be wonderful if in the future this could be modeled. It's probably way too involved researching brake data per aircraft, but one can still dream.
