Hello, I have a question regarding BoB.
How will navigation be modeled ? Currently (in Il2), we have either a super-precise GPS system or nothing at all on the mini-map. The "nothing" part is the most realistic, for sure, but it's too much of a hassle for most players to do their own visual and dead-reckoning navigation.
How about and intermediate system, in which ownplane's position would be signalled on the map by a circle of uncertainty of variable diameter. For example, flying straight and in view of landmarks would give a fairly small circle, while flying erratically (or fighting) above clouds or the sea would produce a greater circle of uncertainty inside which your plane actually is. Of course, if you then fly in view of a landmark (or have RF navigation systems onboard) the circle will then reduce.
