I like the cockpits, in them gauges the most. They look very suggestive. In IL2 they were just flat. Switches move, dials shudder when the plane shakes. It is just fun looking at them. IL2 low res pits didn`t really allow that, but now, I can recognize most digits, and with the excellent cockpit dial instructions from the forum members it is easy. It makes me smile when the gauges react to every correction in CEM, the temps, the pressures. I finally understood that the speedbar is not needed when one wants to fly full switch. It is all part of the immersion. You can`t just padlock the bogey and turn the joystick. You have to watch him and the dials, even if for just a second. So now, I have like 7 buttons managing the CEM alone and have to watch it very carefully not to break the Daimler in front of me. The special gunsight view goes to show just how the Bf109 cockpit was - a cramped box in a relatively small, very nimble aircraft.
