I don't know why they left the sound out of the film, because it works fine in the game. And yes that was a pretty boring pan-fest in that movie. I think they were just trying to test the ability to make films from inside the game.
Control surfaces have been moving since the early alpha versions, but that MiG is a new model and the artist hasn't had a chance to set up the motion parameters. I think we'll have something for you Friday which shows that, and maybe on a certain USAF plane too.

I'll pass the suggestion about smoke on to the team.
