Anton did say they were going to try to get the 109 in and maybe the 190. But I guess publisher told them otherwise...

That's just my speculation.

you'd think they could just import some nice cockpits from the earlier pc versions of IL-2, as they undoubtedly already exist.

Targetware, a free user-created sim in beta, has great cockpits for its German planes. You have to control everything in the plane, too, fuel mixture, fuel tanks, wheel brakes, weapon selection, etc. And there's no HUD, so you actually HAVE to look at the cockpit instruments.

The thing I don't like about having to look at the instruments is that the only really practical way to do it is with TrackIR.. which is way too expensive. Else you'd be messing around with your hatswitch all the time, trying to center it, you'd probably need zoom, etc.

It's pretty easy with a controller.

I know a controller is not in the spirit of a flight sim but, consoles don't ship with a flight stick.

If you're placing so much emphasis on the patch, I think you're missing the point of the game and would probably be better off playing MW2 or something instead. Because that game is in no need of any patching whatsoever.

If you can't have fun with the game as is, then the patch isn't going to fix that for you.
