@inflames Sebastijan, the old Il-2 edition had some pretty nice cockpits but no doubt the new series is better. Wonder if you can send me some print screens on pm? Thanks! -

I check on that well-known on-line auction site regularly for one of these... rare as rocking-horse poo, and twice as expensive. Maybe one-day someone like ICM will bring us one (or a series) in 1:48. -
