Folding wings no, but open canopys, HECK YES! I wish I could open my P-51D canopy in flight and just get some fresh air.

I'd love to have an opening canopy and the ability to further raise the seat for improved visibility in the F4Us (I think I was reading somewhere that seat had different height positions) when not in combat.

Folding wings really wouldn't serve much purpose, tho.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

On the contrary, they would make taxiing on carrier decks vastly easier, especially with multiple aircraft.

Unless you're taxiing with enemy aircraft, you should be fine.

On the contrary, on my eight player server maximum realism settings are always used.  That means friendly collisions, too.

I could take or leave folding wings, but definitely like the open canopy option.  We can already adjust seat position, using the head movement keys and F-10 to save.

Anything that would make the virtual aircraft more like the real aircraft would make the simulator better.
